The life expectancy of a Mercury 2-stroke outboard engine can vary greatly based on maintenance, usage, and operating conditions. Typically, a well-maintained outboard can last about 1,500 to 2,000 hours or 7 to 8 years. Some motors, with diligent maintenance, could even surpass 2,000 hours of use.
Regular care, such as changing the oil every 50 hours and routinely flushing the engine, is vital for extending the lifespan. However, the actual lifespan can vary, and consulting the specific owner's manual and following the recommended maintenance schedule is advised for best results.
