    Mercury Recall

    So, I've owned my 2018 Tracker PT 175 with a Mercury 4S 60HP since September 5th. Go check the mail today, and I've got a recall notice from Mercury on the fuel pump diaphragm. Anyone had this fixed? Wondering if I can take it to any Mercury shop, (45 minute drive) or should I take it back to my dealer, (2 1/2 hour drive)?

    Never mind. Just contacted the Mercury shop and he asked me to go look at the fuel pump to see if there was a blue dot on it. He said this is to signify that the diaphragm has been changed. Luckily, mine has been taken care of.

    Good topic for the 4 Stroke forum.

    Follow the directions in the letter you received. Engine does need to be physically inspected by the dealer.
