I figured Merc would fill your mailbox with a bunch of advertisements, sell your name to a few dozen of their closest friends, so you get spam and unwanted mail for the rest of your life... maybe not. Maybe they figure after they sold you a motor your too broke to target...

Ridge you should call Mercury to know for sure whats going on. Did you receive a Manufacturer's Statement of Origin? (Kinda like a title, but actually better). Asking about it half a dozen times and still not having an answer is BS. You paid new engines prices right? Well part of that price is the warranty cost factored in. Unless you picked up something hot and it was half the price I'd def call and find out. After you get it figured out I'd shop around for a more reputable dealer for any service work.

ANY time I ever had to ask a parts supplier a half a dozen times where my parts were, or if something was done, I always figured it was time to get a new supplier. I'm talking multi-billion dollar companies with thousands of orders going in and out each day, and if they can keep track of their customers then by God I think that a small marine dealership should be able to also. It's time to trade in your dealer for a new one. Just my 2 cents..

I hear you and will refrain from commenting about my dealer. Momma always said...
BTW- I will definitely check into my motor registration with Mercury. It is now a priority. After having gone round and round with the purchase and installation, I lost interest. Not anymore, I am on it and will report findings..

I had another dealer check the serial with Mercury. It turns out that the motor was registered with Mercury in February. February had rebates for repower IIRC. Never part of the deal, but that would be where the dealer makes a lick without it coming out of my pocket, so to speak... I feel better I guess.
So the first service is coming up at 20 hours. LOL!
