Mercury 90 CT Dealer Take-Off — 9 Hours, Never Registered, Full Warranty
Mercury 90 Command Thrust · just 9 hours · never registered · full Mercury factory warranty · complete rigging parts included · serial 3B630751
Condition report
Dealer take-off Mercury 90 Command Thrust with only 9 hours. The story is simple and it is the selling point: the motor was removed from a brand-new boat before the customer took delivery because they upgraded to a larger engine. It has never been registered, so it comes with the full Mercury factory warranty. The serial plate is photographed: model 1F904532D, serial 3B630751, model line ME90LCT4S — Mercury 90, 20-inch shaft, Command Thrust, four-stroke; 90 HP / 66.2 kW, 364 lb / 166 kg, Mercury Marine, Fond du Lac WI, CE and UKCA marks. The under-cowling photos are spotless, with protective wrap remnants still on the cowling, and the motor is crated on its shipping pallet with all parts needed for rigging included. (The XL + XXL print on the crate is generic crate marking, not this motor’s shaft — the plate governs: 20-inch.) Because it has run 9 hours it is listed honestly in Pre-Owned — with a new motor’s warranty.
Overview
This is the used listing that behaves like a new one. Nine hours is a dealer demo’s worth of running; never registered means the full Mercury factory warranty clock is yours, not partly spent; and the complete rigging parts are in the crate, so installation is a bolt-on job.
Why is it in Pre-Owned at all? Because honesty is the house rule: it has run, so it is not sold as factory-new stock. What you get instead is the take-off equation — $5,550 for a 9-hour, full-warranty Command Thrust 90, crated and ready to install.

Bay boats, skiffs and aluminium hulls on a 20-inch transom whose owners want new-motor warranty and condition at a take-off price.
Compatibility notes
- Confirm your boat’s capacity plate: never exceed the maximum rated horsepower.
- Match shaft length to your transom height so the anti-ventilation plate runs at the correct depth.
- Confirm your transom and hull can support the engine’s weight.
- Controls, cables, gauges, steering components, and propellers are not included unless the listing states otherwise — we verify rigging compatibility with your boat before you buy.

Product FAQ
Why is a 9-hour motor listed as pre-owned?
Because it has run 9 hours. It was removed from a new boat before delivery when the buyer upgraded, and has never been registered — so it carries the full Mercury factory warranty, but we sell it honestly as a take-off.
What warranty does it carry?
The full Mercury factory warranty, per the seller, because the motor was never registered.
What shaft length is it?
20-inch — the L in the photographed serial plate’s ME90LCT4S model line. The XL print on the shipping crate is generic crate marking, not the shaft.
Is rigging included?
Yes — the motor comes complete with all parts needed for rigging, as stated by the seller, and is ready to install.
Can it be shipped?
Yes — it is photographed crated on its pallet. Flat $150 US freight, crated and fully insured; a 35% deposit reserves it.

Figures are taken from our intake listing for this unit. Confirm model, shaft, hours, and included equipment with our team before purchase.
Will it fit your boat?
The two measurements that decide fit are your transom height (which sets shaft length) and your boat's rated horsepower. Check both before you buy — or ask us and we will confirm fitment for your hull.
