New Boat Order

[Brian]

I just received new 2021 Cougar with a 300 Pro XS in August. Have a few more break-in hours but I can tell you it’s a beast of an engine. Last time out I hit 80 with no problem with more throttle left. After watching those recently published driving videos allowing plenty of time for boat and motor to dial in and keeping pressure on the steering wheel really helped keep it under control.

Ill post some pictures as soon as I figure out how.

Phil Addison you will be glad I made the switch today to mercury 300 racing on new boat.

Jackson at basscat told dealer it would be much faster getting then the Yamaha

my new question I know before anyone says it if you flash it voids warranty but I do know guys that have had issues and Yamaha covered flash engine

I also know one guy that blew the nizzpro super charger 450 Sho up and they covered

Dont know how but I know the guy personally and they fixed it

my question is Yamaha offers 5 year with 1 additional year you can buy ain’t really much money

all I see from mercury racing is 3 year warranty

is there more you can buy from them or is that all they offer

I was just hesitated going back to mercury had bad experience with the Optimax pro xs blowing power head and I did maintance quick clean and everything by the book never overheated them always warmed them up in cold weather so kind of gun shy.

plus I got a few buddy that have had the new mercury pro xs four strokes that have had issues

I know there great motors but all motors new have bugs.  The Sho first came out took them 3 or 4 years to work out bugs now they are kind of problem free

thanks for any input

The 300 R does have additional extended warranty available in both Gold and Platinum.

Thanks basscat on that do I buy that straight thru the dealer to mercury or is that something that we buy thru y’all with boat purchase

It is a Mercury dealership buy and you can extend it up to 7 years, possibly 8 though we aren’t sure.
