I have had my 06 (1E001186) for 4 years now, not regrets. Knock on wood, no problems, great motor, plenty of power. I use "Don's cocktail + premium plus oil" since I've had it and no issues with fuel. I have started putting a 8-10 drops of oil in the compressor after most trips, just can't seem to do it after every trip. I don't believe there are any common problems associated with this particular year motor, but someone with a lot more knowledge of Mercury motors will probably be along shortly. I do try to maintain my motor properly, I.e, recommended maintenance, allowing the water temperature to rise before taking off, etc. I don't abuse the motor, but I don't baby it either, got to let her rip, after all, it is built by Mercury Racing. Hope this helps.
