Mercury 15 HP FourStroke Manual Start Tiller Outboard Motor

DescriptionOn the North Channel, an auxiliary that fires on the first pull and needs nothing else earns its place fast. This Mercury 15 hp FourStroke is the manual-start tiller build: you start it with the recoil cord, steer it by tiller from the stern, and never think about a starting battery. On a 14-foot Lund, an aluminum jon, or a larger hull that wants a reliable kicker, it is the straightforward way to run Mercury power on the transom.The pull-cord start is the whole point of this one, and in our conditions that reads as an advantage. There is nothing to go flat at a cold ramp, no starter wiring to corrode, and a little less weight hanging off the back. As a FourStroke it stays quiet, takes regular unleaded, and carries the cold-start and freshwater corrosion protection Mercury builds into the current range.Tiller control from the back of the boat is what most kicker owners want for trolling and tight-quarters handling. Sized to a light hull, 15 hp is enough to move the boat along without leaning hard on the transom. As a backup to a bigger main, or as the only motor on a small tiller rig, a pull-start unit is one less thing to fail when you are a long way from the launch.Buy it from an authorised Mercury dealer and the paperwork and the wrench time stay in one place. Reyco files the warranty here, does the servicing on our own bench, and carries the FourStroke maintenance parts at the counter, so a spark plug or a shear pin is a walk-in. Lee looks after the marine jobs and can rig the motor to your boat.You can see this one at 11 White Oak Drive East in Sault Ste. Marie. What a dealer adds shows up after delivery: the break-in and first service booked in our own shop, and someone who knows the motor on the other end of the phone when the boat is out on the water.
