Frustrated with Mercury Marine
I purchased a new 2022 Boston Whaler Montauk 150 back in 2022 and the boat came with a 60 hp Mercury engine. I’ve had the boat professionally stored and maintained by a well known Boston Whaler/Mercury dealer. To make a long story short, for the SECOND time since new, the throttle body is warped and in need of replacement. Now I’ve been without the use of my boat all Summer because this part has been on back order from Mercury since at least May. IMO there is no excuse that Mercury is still backordered on this part. It is a 2022 engine for crying out loud, and my Mercury Platinum Warranty doesn’t do a damn bit of good when Mercury doesn’t have the part in stock. I’m completely missing out on my Summer boating season fun and very ticked off, but thank god I’m not somebody who relies on this engine for commercial purposes or I’d be really screwed.
