I'm looking to poeple who have experience with a 60hp mercury outboard motor ,consumption , service ......

Thanks for your feedback.

Not quite the same, but I have a 90hp Mercury outboard on my boat (Mercury's are standard on Boston Whalers). It's a 2 stroke, and consumption under normal running is circa 20 litres/hour (the oil/gas mix is a standard 50/1). You need to have it serviced every 100 hours or once a year. The local Mercury agents for sales and service are Seat just outside the entrance to Boat Lagoon.

The engine is OK, but were I buying a new engine, it would be (in order of preference) a Honda or Yamaha. It would also definitely be a 4 stroke, as 2 strokes will only use 91 gasoline (not gasohol) which is expensive and there's doubt about the long term availability of it.

The big foot 60 Hp is a 4 stroke - so that's of the table . What would be a regular service cost mor or less ( just to have an idea ).

Around 3000 baht, depending on the parts needed of course (the impeller needs to be replaced every year).

Ok , that sounds reasonable . Thx
