Original review Feb 20, 2023
I had to purchase a rebuilt block from ATK 4 my Mercury cruiser . The 1st engine lasted 31 hours it was under warranty and they sent me a new one which took quite a few months.

The 2nd 1 came and we pulled the engine out of the boat and rebuilt it with the new rebuilt block and it was bleeding fluid in the yard When it was reassembled we were told to take it apart and fix it. We did that and then put it in the boat where immediately a lifter failed not once but twice.
I have spent over $10000 getting this boat in-and-out of the water the engine being called out twice and the death being pulled out to have these faulty engines in my Vote they gave me $840 for the 1st engine warranty they only paid $50 for labor and my shop charges 15 You have to pull the boat out of the water it has to sit and dry dock and then get repaired and this figure it's just not good enough and now they are not receiving my calls or acknowledging my emails Stay away

Loss:
$12000

Preferred solution: Financial compensation of the 31 hours that this engine originally lasted 20 was used to break in the engine. The replacement engine lasted 5 minutes the first failure and about 5 minutes the second failure. Not really quite sure if this engine will last.

User's recommendation: I have videos and pictures of all the damage The number that gave me for the warranty was just beyond ridiculous and they didn't even acknowledge the 2nd engine problems which cost me extra to take apart and fix
