Hi guys,

 

Just received a notice from Mercury Marine regarding a recall notice for my motor.  Anyone else get a notice?

Was the nature of the recall mentioned?

Bummer  @Redlinerobert~  This is probably not the same as your deal as I think you have a different motor; but last week I received information (letter) from Mercury Marine regarding Outboard Service Bulletin 2017-05.  This is not a recall. 

I have the 2016 Optimax 200 DFI.  After some quick research & a call to my dealer, it appears that in certain motors the Reed plate assembly on the compressor may be faulty.  Something about an improper material was used and reportedly this causes rough running and starting problems.  

    After talking to the main shop human, he had me check for a "white dot" on the compressor which indicated the upgrade had already been performed at the factory prior to delivery.  I did not see it - (could still be there but I couldn't find it) either way, they ordered the parts and next time I bring it in, they'll change it out.  All No Cost.  

Boat's running great now so I'm planning on riding it out until the end of the season or if it starts performing sub-standard, I'll just bite the bullet and take it in.  It's an hour north so I'm in no hurry.  

What's your Recall all about ?

Mine is different, regarding a 'no start' issue.  Bulleting -02 I believe.  Specific to Mercury Racing motors.  Will have to make arrangements to have it fixed.
