As the snow melts and the excitement of Springer season draws near, it is time to de-winterize the boat. De-winterizing is pretty straight forward with outboards. This year, my 100 hour service was due as well.
I looked into having a local Mercury dealer do all my 100 hour service, but at about $500 per motor and having two motors, the cost could not be justified. These newer Mercury 150 Fourstroke motors are very simple to do all the service myself and save a few buck. Everything I need can be found on Amazon and I can service both motors for just under $200.
If you are looking to do the same, here are links to all the products I use for my 100 hour service.
