Merc has enough of them out there running to see that they are reliable... Our MTI-V 42 demo boat has 265 hours on them...with no issues. This was the first set of 400s that we received, so I'm sure the engines built today are even better.

Just like when Auto manufacturers change warranty programs....it doesn't tie to the buyers that purchased previously.

The third MPP year was previously available for purchase to Verado 400R owners—the engine previously came with a two-year factory warranty in the purchase price. Now it's been added in.

Like any new model release, the 1st yr or so owners are the guineau pigs. I am not saying this in a bad way.

I'm a strong believer in being a 3rd year buyer of some new slate anything.....car motors, sled motors, etc,etc. 1st year (sometimes even 2nd year) owners can be plagued with issues.

Anyway, doesn't sound like this has happened with this engine. Schweet !

what I was getting at is...all too often programs are put in place later to entice new interest...rewards so to speak for new buyers but the ones who stepped up early in the game get left out...best other example is the cell phone providers...or banks programs to entice new customers...but the loyal get left behind....a pet peeve of mine, one of a number
