Great Boat Motor!
By Douglas W.
Arkansas
Purchased 12/01/2023 |
Review Posted 12/26/2023
Runs great and love the electric start. Very economical on gas. This Mercury is everything I wanted and needed in a boat motor. And the closeout price was unbelievable! PED was great to work with and the motor arrived on the exact day stated.

I pit this on a 14 ft semi v. Moves it out nicely. Love the no mix gas and electric start. Tiller handle is a little long but the extra adjustments and shifting right there are nice.

Review Posted 01/10/2023
I'm very happy with this motor that I installed on our inflatable boat, an 11-foot Newport. It was delivered in a few days with no problems. I have already taken it out a couple of times and it handles great with plenty of power and nice features such as electric start and tilt for getting into shallow areas.

Great Little 20HP Mercury Outboard

Review Posted 04/22/2022
Great motor at a great price. I couldn't find this motor anywhere until I looked on the PED website. When I saw it I quickly purchased it and it came very quickly. So far after @ five uses it works perfectly. Very pleased with the motor and highly recommend PED.

Buy A Paddle Instead
By Donald M.

Review Posted 03/02/2022
PED delivered the product when they said they would and with no visible damage. However after mounting the motor on the boat and beginning the break-in procedures an alarm sounded. After contacting the Mercury people they suggested that it might be a bad sensor and told me to take it to a certified repairman. So I am now waiting for the repair shop to call me and tell me to bring the motor in for repair. While it should not cost anything with the shortage of spare parts who knows when I will be able to use the motor.

Very sorry to hear you're having issues with the boat motor. We rarely see any issues with these. Mercury has excellent service and they stand behind their products. Thank you for letting us know and we'll bring this to the attention of our Mercury rep.

As promised PED delivered! R and L trucking brought my new Merc 20 to my house. I got the lift gate service and recommend it. The driver made it easy for me to get it to my garage for unpacking. Not a scratch on it, well packed with tank, hose, and engine oil all included. Excellent work!

An Amazing Mercury Outboard
By Ibrahim E.
Anaheim, California
Purchased 09/21/2021 |
Review Posted 10/01/2021
Just received it, and it’s amazing looking. I hook it up and put my oil and fill up the gas tank and tested it. It’s super quiet and super nice and has no vibration like the old 2 strokes.
Very nice at first look and taking it to test in the ocean this evening. Packing and shipping were so professional. I am happy about this investment, thanks.
