before we just got our new kicker we ran the main motor almost all the time...we have over 2000 hours on the main and bought it in 2005...we just got the kicker, and have over 100 on it already...just got it July 1st...

i think most people that use this site put a lot more hours than the every once in a while joe...

all i know is that Mercury made a mistake by sending me a extended waranty...i dont usually buy waranties, but i did this time and it has already paid for itself...still under waranty for 2 more years!!...last time i paid 25 bucks on a 500+ job...nice
