Default 2018 Mercury 350 Verados

Going from a 37 SR EC and considering to moving to a 34 NT CC with twin 350 Merc's. I dont know much about these engines, is there something i should be aware of? Are they reliable? How do they compare with other OB of the same size?
Thanks!

If you can turn a key and push a throttle then you're good to go!

Verados are all about turnkey boating, if they've been serviced by the book, continue to do so and enjoy boating. Verados and Nortech is an excellent combination.

Welcome to OSO, plenty of Nortech fans on here. ​​​​​​​

Thanks!! I just hear do much about OB problems; engine problems with 125 hours and Merc not covering the problem, flywheels, blah, blah blah. How do they compare to Yamahas!?

I've read comparisons to Yamaha and the Yamahas sound pretty indestructible. Very strong hard working engines. Simple comparison, Merc faster but Yamaha more reliable.

That said, I had triple 275's on a Fountain. very lightly used and never missed a beat. I've heard some early Verados had a few electronic issues which got sorted, recalled, improved along the way.

Different warranty programs in different countries, maybe 2018 models still have factory warranty?
