Opinion: Mercury Outboard Motor 1A20402LK 20EPT FourStroke 2023 - Small Powerhouse on the Water
For anyone who’s ever spent time on the water, you know that a reliable, high-performing outboard motor is crucial. For the 2023 boating season, one motor has caught my attention, the Mercury Outboard Motor 1A20402LK 20EPT FourStroke 2023.
Belonging to the 2-90 horsepower category, this engine is packed with features that promise exceptional performance and durability, even with frequent use. The Mercury Outboard Motor 1A20402LK boasts an engine type of Inline 2, a displacement of 20.3 CID/333 CC, and operates at the full throttle RPM range of 5700 - 6200.
Mercury's EPT FourStroke technology enhances fuel efficiency while reducing emissions, earning it a commendable CARB star rating of three. This sets it on the frontier of eco-friendly boating technology, a factor that should entice the environmentally conscious riders.
This engine comes with a two-valve fuel induction system, powered by a single overhead cam (SOHC), that significantly improves the engine’s responsiveness, thereby providing smoother and more reliable rides. The ignition, handled by a CDI with electronic spark advance, offers an immediate start-up and quick acceleration. The engine is kept cool by a water-cooled system with an in-built thermostat, assuring prolonged engine life and better efficiency.
Its dry weight is 99 lbs (or 45 kg), placing it among the lighter models in this horsepower range. This is an essential feature, as it minimizes the weight your boat has to carry around, allowing for higher speeds and more efficient fuel consumption.
The gear system features F-N-R shift options within a standard gearcase. The trim system comes with 6 trim positions and provides both manual and power tilt. One of its notable features is the shallow water drive, enabling easier navigation in shallow waters, a feature that many boaters will find handy.
This Mercury outboard motor pays close attention to safety as well; the engine protection operator warning system includes alerts for low oil pressure, low water pressure, over-rev, overheat, and sensor failure. It's clear Mercury has put thought into keeping riders safe on the water.
Priced at an MSRP of $4,465, with the dealer invoice projected to be $3,572, it appears to offer good value for its class, especially considering its features and the brand reputation of Mercury.
In conclusion, the Mercury Outboard Motor 1A20402LK 20EPT FourStroke 2023 is a versatile, reliable outboard motor that's worth considering, whether you're a casual watercraft user or a more frequent rider. Its blend of performance, safety features, and price point make it a compelling option for anyone in the market for a 20 HP outboard engine.

The See Dealer Cost Story
When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
