- 350 Mercruiser w/ Bravo III Drives, has oxygen sensors and mercathod to help with corrrosion
Does anybody know if Mercury is still having problems with oxygen sensor failures? I own a 2011 240 SunDancer, this is our third year of owning this boat. While out for Mother's Day we had a oxygen sensor failure. Mercury waited over a week before their rep came and looked at it. Our marina has a authorized repair facility for Mercury, but because this part is still under warranty we had to wait for the rep to tell mercury what the mechanic had already called and told them They sent the new sensor it was put in then we went for a test run, it failed immediately, mechanic called back Mercury, they said to swap it out with another sensor, did that, out again, another failure, mechanic said the new sensor failed. So Mercury is sending another new sensor. Sounds to me that something else might be the problem. Our warranty is up this September and I'm afraid Mercury is giving me the runaround. Any suggestions or has anybody else have similar experience. Worst thing is this is Memorial Weekend with beautiful 80 degree weather and my three year old boat is down. Bought a new boat so I wouldn't have problems, this is the third year we've owned this boat and every year we have had a problem.
