I have a lot of friends that run every make of outboard and they all have their problems and have all had problems with CS. Very few companies put the emphasis on CS anymore that they should. So all kidding aside I feel your pain but seriously you need to let it go. Maybe it does not consume you as much as it appears but from the outside it looks like it has been festering for quite some time.

Sound advice. I should follow it.

You are reading into it correctly. It still pi$$es me off to no end when I think about what Merc did. I should just let it go. Customer Service is #1 in my book. I'd actually buy an inferior product from a company with exceptional customer service over a company with a great product and terrible customer service.
