I am looking at a new 15 or 17 whaler with a Merc engine. I have heard that they have persistent starting problems. Is this true? If so, can anything be done to correct the problem?

Merc engine is a rather wide open field. Model and HP would be helpful to provide feedback on any issues.

Heard from who, where?
[EDIT - Since posting this, I have read a single thread on another board in which 3 owners state their 2007-09 Mercury FourStroke 90 experienced starting issues. It reads that the culprit was the starter motor.
While each owner had the starter replaced under warranty, the time/effort to diagnose the problem at their respective dealers varied significantly.]
