My 2004 Mercury 15hp 2-stroke will not lock in the raised position after only two weeks of use. I inspected the black plastic chock used to hold the motor up and discovered a rounded grove near the edge.
The motor is only raised when docked and never to trailer or transport.
I previously owned a used '00 Merc that experienced the same problem. I replaced the chock only to have the rounded groove reappear after limited use.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a solution or a better constructed after-market part that might be used?
