Got a brand new one and it slides into neutral when going for a few and not rough conditions. Can’t find any issues, not any help to resolve but the break in did not go so good when full throttle to neutral! Holy shi! Brand new boat and mercury motor and dangerous af. I’ll contact the dealer too but figured it may be an easy adjustment somewhere but the manual does not help.
So good mate!!! What motor was on it before? I got a 25hp merc 2006 4 stroke and upgrading to a 40hp brand new merc . Looks like I'll get a 10kph gain roughly on my 399 proline. More just to get it on plane as I have a heavy cast deck etc looks like it's a worthy upgrade! Thanks for the video mate 🤙
I’ve got a Mercury 40 up four stroke 2019 model , be careful of petrol with ethanol as it totally blocked up the VST tank on the motor after 20 hrs use , Use clean new fuel and additive otherwise it will breakdown . Happy boating all
Ethanol is bad for anything an everything is my opinion John, but that said it did say in the manual it could be used. I have only ever used premium 98 fuel any small engine. but you’re advice is appreciated as many people do use ethanol in there boats.
Correct on VST, issue is not being able to use fuel with ethanol it's running it and leaving it in there. Ethanol attracts water. If not running for long periods the service manual recommend draining the VST. I have cleaned one VST and a lot of carbs on used motors with ethanol varnish that I just avoid it now.
Hey Omie, the new multi tiller is awesome, everything is in a convenient easy to reach location. I found it a bit to long for my tinny but you learn to live that an you get use to it’s turning limit due to the length. but overall really happy with it.
Hey Wyatt from memory it’s a 16p stainless prop, that at 5700rpm was good for 65kph. Fully loaded boat with gear. That was with only 6 hours on the motor so probably does a bit more now it’s run in more.
@@westysfishingadventures5705 Thank you for the info Westy... Great looking rig you have! I am in Ontario, Canada and have just ordered a 40 Merc... delivery expected for May 2022 which aligns with our Spring. Can't wait to get on the water!
Hey Anthony, for the short time I had it really really good, considering I sold the boat it was on with about 6 hours on the motor it was still on its first tank (25 litres) of fuel.
sadly Jacob I didn’t have much to do with the big tiller, but from my understanding from research and what the dealer told me they are similar in many ways, but better in the tilt control and the positioning of the shift handle.
Hey Scott, I thought it was reasonably priced, considering it was far cheaper to put the stainless prop on at purchase for a hugely reduced price of a few hundred bucks. it was a grand cheaper than the equivalent Suzuki an on par with the same spec’d Yamaha.

I wouldn't run E10 in a lawn mower, let alone a State of the art Mercury 4 stroke outboard motor.

Pak kenapa mesin saya susa hidup pengapian kurang apa yg perlu di ganti
How u liking new tiller handle. I'm looking at putting it on my 40 replace the old tiller.

@@westysfishingadventures5705 I love my tiller upgrade as well, was expensive but worth it.
Mph?
I am curious to know what propeller are you running on your 40 Merc?

I have a 25 Yamaha was thinking about the 40 how is it on gas ?

Do you think it’s better then the merc big tiller
sadly Jacob I didn’t have much to do with the big tiller, but from my understanding from research and what the dealer told me they are similar in many ways, but better in the tilt control and the positioning of the shift handle.
How much....?
You forgot ...Very Expensive!!

Cheapest on the market
@@westysfishingadventures5705 how much is the new Big tiller, can't find the price
