TL;dr: thoughts on current small (15 HP) Mercury EFI outboards?
I'm thinking about upgrading the '98 Envinrude 15 hp 2 stroke on the RIB. The weights of current 4 stroke outboards have come down and the availability of EFI in an outboard is very appealing.
I'm looking at 15 HP models. The current Mercury one has some very nice features: centered, highly adjustable tiller, tiller-mounted shifter, simple oil changes, fresh water flush port. And EFI means no carburetor rebuilds.
All that said, I want something reliable for my dingy. Any one have experience with reliability of the small Mercury outboards?
