Joe,

Three tries and you're out with these high tech engines seems a wee bit hard for our typical dealer networks. If that became a requirement I imagine engine prices would go up quite a bit. The cost of warranty work has to be inclusive with the cost of all other aspects of a product.

Compare the density of Mercury dealers to the density of Ford dealers then factor in the number of dealers with certified Verado techs to get some idea of the huge delta between automotive vs outboard lemon law capability.
