When I bought my boat in 04', an extended warr was not available for the 525. Nothing in the Mercury Racing line had an extended warr available. Not sure if that's still the truth.

Should you be finishing my shed for me??????????:eek: :eek: :eek:
And yes i do, there are warranties for these engines and they are not cheap times that by two engines...
My guesstimation justaround 4K for both for one year...

When you looking into motors I told you that Phoenix American will cover the 525s for about $2500 each for 5 years . I think it is money well spent if you plan to run big hours. I do:D

read the coverage real good, I'll never buy it again
they flat don't pay for worn out parts, so most high
hour motors won't be covered. if the cam goes flat
not covererd
if it breaks it's covered
worn out rings, not covered
wornout bearings not covered
overheated motors not covered
low power not covered
burnnig oil not covered
so you take it in on the extended warantee
the shop tears it down, calls the inspector
he see's no broke parts denies the claim
you tell him it only had 60 lbs of compression
in the best cylinder, he says "yeah I believe you, it's wore out"
not covered

Great info.....for the $5K-$8K (twins) I will take my chances and do a rebuild!

Best warranty is to change the fluids every 25hrs or so. ;)
Mercury shiz last forever if you take car of it.
