MERCURY PRO XS FATAL FLAW! (ARE YOU AT RISK?)
Usually we like to make silly videos for y'all on the internet. But, today's video is a serious one! Why are the new v8 Merc's busting hanger brackets? We've seen 10+ video and photos of motors either in the drink or hanging off the back of the boats by the cables. What is going on with this issue Mercury? Has anyone heard of this issue? Any TSB's? The most important thing when boating or fishing is getting back to the landing and back to your family. We hope this is an isolated issue or just a fluke but dammit do better Mercury...people's lives are at stake and we hate seeing these images! Comment below if you've seen or heard of any busted brackets and let's spread the word so it gets back to Mercury so they can fix this ongoing issue. Be safe everyone!

Andy, thanks for sharing this video, thats my boat in the video. I was running Santee cooper and hit a submerged floating log. I was running about 50mph and the hit didn’t feel hard at all. That said the motor completely broke from its cast iron mount. It’s very scary and happen way too fast. I was very thankful for the leash as I felt it saved me from serious injury or death. After I sent the pictures to precision sonar to show them how good their product was, I was shocked at how many people reached out to me that have been in similar accidents with similar results. I know of one other guy with the exact motor that hit a log on the Mississippi and his broke in the exact same place. Mercury has reached out to me and they want my motor to do testing on it to see if they do have a problem. So they are aware and are wanting to get ahead of this. Anyways thanks for bringing awareness to something that could seriously injury someone, especially children now with how many high school tournaments we have.

Truly appreciate this video Andy. I fish in WI with a Pro XS built in ‘20 and have hit debri going moderate speeds. The lower unit and mounting points look fine so far but who knows what’s happening within the casting. Did not know about the Leash but purchasing one now as a few hundred bucks is well worth the added safety if something should happen

Would be interesting to know if the mounting bracket is weakened from trailering. A lot of people are using those “transom savers” like DD26 that only take the load off of the hydraulics even though many claim otherwise. Every owner’s manual I’ve ever read has recommended and shown a transom support that attaches between the trailer and the engine’s lower unit. At least from a root cause analysis, everything needs to be considered and not dismissed.

Yamaha is King. Tournament partner sheared the teeth off the flywheel on his brand new Merc pro xs last season less than 5 hours on itI Got it back blew an alternator next time out. We ended up running my 5 year old indestructible SHO all season lol. I live on and fish Northern lake champlain over 100 days per year. Widely known as the roughest and most dangerous lakes in the country outside of the great lakes. I've smashed a handful of offshore reefs going 20-30 mph, barely even left a scratch on the skeg. Yamaha uses high quality parts and metal while engineering their outboards, Merc uses cheap lightweight junk parts and inferior metal. I've run Yamaha my whole life never had any major issues. If you take care of it, it will take care of you. It's nice to feel safe out on the water and confident you will make it back to the launch or tournament weigh ins at the end of the day, especially on Northern Champlain. I've had to help tow in a few boats over the years, and it's always the Merc powered boats. No hate, just my personal experiences

Thank you for this. I have a 20 Pro XS. 20 or 21 can't remember. I've heard about the leash but not this prob and I have hit things with the lower unit. I'm looking to get a new boat and I may just get this leash. The next rig will have a Yammy 250 SHO. Still could use that same leash I'm sure?. I'd really like a video on the Avid Fusion 23 or Magnum 23. I saw the one on the bass rig and I agree with that one. Also wonder about this aluminum thickness and the salt water as well as how to take care of everything for salt water use.

Unfortunately American companies haven't learned from the 70s when the Japanese took over the car market. Build a good product and your return business will benefit because of product quality and reputation. Japanese engineers aren't smarter than American engineers. It's just upper mgmt deciding to make as much profit by cutting quality and trying to appease shareholders and their CEO bonuses. Corporate greed is a short sighted approach. The negative product experience and publicity will steer hard working Americans to spend their money on Yamahas and Suzukis. The once sovereign category of full size pickup trucks has seen some of its share go to Toyota Tundras. Wake up Mercury! Don't go the way of Evinrude. Product quality should be #1. Do things right and the profits will follow. Take care of your employees and customers.

Just a curious thought here. How are all these motors being transported down the road? With those little motor tote things or with an actual transom saver rod from the lower unit to the trailer? Maybe the weight of that motor bouncing down the road not actually being supported is causing some fractures possibly weakening these mounts? Again I have no data or evidence for that but I know since I’ve had my 2021 pro xs it has had a transom saver bar every time it’s on the trailer, I have not hit anything at speed yet, only at idle and I see no sign of wear or hairline cracks or anything thankfully.

My 2022 250 proxs 4s is currently dead in the water. Keeps blowing the PCM fuse and the dealer has spent 10 hours looking for the issue along side mercury. They are sending out an entire engine harness because the motor completely shuts off at 60 mph or 5250 rpm’s. I’ve been waiting a month for the harness and no word yet…… they thing the harness has a short somewhere. 115 hours and it ruined my AOY chances in my club with lunker smallie in the livewell.

I had my 2018 ProXS come off the back of my boat. I don't believe I hit anything at the time but it broke at the jack plate, which is the inherent issue with The Leash. The Leash needs to attach at the transom. In my case the Leash wouldn't have helped. My buddy though just had his ProXS come off after hitting something on the river, it snapped off at the pivot point on the hanger. Luckly the motor came off and didn't come in the boat. He was thrown and then run over by the hull. Bumps and bruises nothing more. Could have been much worse.

The issues is not the Manufacture it is the end user. The driver that hits something with a motor it's not the design of the motors fault that it is breaking under non recommended use. If the issue was happening with no collision it could be placed on the Manufacture. But the increase in boaters in the market this is the results. More accidents and more problems are bound to occur. Its happening in all industries right now. Powersports and marine have a lot of new users that don't know how to drive or operate the machine they drive.

All these Motor-mate all these that fashion on or around the trim pistons one way or the other are the culprit which are causing stress fractures . Hense the reason it wasn't as common near as much with older models everyone was using the original transom savers lower unit to trailer support when trailering. One would be amazed how violent some of the shocks and jarring jolts that occur while trailering. There needs to be some type of device that has some shock absorbing abilities in it's design.

I was Duck Hunting at Gutenberg and when I got back to boat ramp I helped a guy with a bass boat tie up his motor with a rope. because the hit something and only thing holding from falling off was the tilt and the cables. Also this was 10 plus years ago.

Funny you mention the 1996 mercs, mines still runs like a bat outta hell... well.. it's a Mariner magnum 150, I hear it's a merc but why did they call some mariners? What's the purpose of that?

Mariner was just Merc’s sister brand. Like GMC and Chevrolet

A few summers ago a few guys on my lake tried to cut around a marker buoy (which was the first mistake) (also under the influence) not defending them at all and safe boating is utmost importance but they ran a merc and hit something, the motor flew into the cockpit and cut them up really really bad. I believe he filed for a law suit and I’m not sure what happened after that but these are problems I’ve been seeing lately and the common factor is always a merc on the back. I will say again: DRIVE YOUR BOAT WITH CAUTION AND IF YOU ARE DRIVING WATCH HOW MUCH YOU DRINK!

The older 2.4 litre mercs broke mid section at the lower motor mounts. Usually doesn't land in the boat, but lower unit and prop end up at the bottom of the lake. Good times!

Yep, my Dads friend hit a gator in Orange Lake in Florida. And it flipped the motor
