First question, is a 2 stroke legal for use in all your intended operating
areas? No, then 4 stroke. If Yes, then next question is, Do I have to remove
this motor regularly? If the answer is no, then 4 stroke. If yes, then 2
stroke.

I am in the market for a new motor. One guy
tells me the 4 stroke mercury is far superior
to the 2 stoke. Another tells me that the 4 stroke
is a new motor which probably doesn't have all
the manufacturing glitches worked out which is why
it comes with a 3 year warranty instead of the
1 year warranty for the 2 stroke.

someone please un-confuse me.

thanks.
