Mercury Outboard, Sterndrives and More

In the past decade, Mercury Marine his refined its lineup to include a wide variety of
Inboard, Outboard, Sterndrive, Tow Sport Inboard and Jet Engines. Its reputation for unsurpassed reliability, advanced technology and high performance is worldwide.

Inboards are designed for long life and a low-maintenance boating experience using quality materials like ceramic and stainless steel in the exhaust system and closed-cooling, topmounted starters and oil pans with better corrosion prevention. All Multiport Injection (MPI) inboard models offer optional DTS to ensure peak efficiency and performance – DTS eliminates all helm maintenance and automatically synchronizes multiple engines, provides shift protection and provides SmartStart digital starting. and our exclusive Transmission Guardian delivers reliability like no other.

Verado is a FourStroke with Brains and Brawn. Mercury, driven by a history of innovation, set out to manufacture a FourStroke engine that would deliver performance and reliability with an automotive-like driving experience. Verado, the world’s only supercharged production outboard engine, provides all that and more. Verado’s Intake Sound Attenuator reduces overall noise by up to 14 decibels and tunes the engine sound to a more pleasing tone. Acoustic foam lining absorbs high frequency engine noise for Verado’s best-in-class sound rating. Verado runs smoother due to an inline six-cylinder engine aligned in one row, providing a smoother-running, compact design.

Verado’s exclusive Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering system eliminates steering torque. Verado Perimeter Engine Mounts are larger, with innovative positioning virtually eliminates engine-related boat vibration. The SmartCraft® Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) System delivers instant throttle response and smooth shifting. SmartCraft delivers excellent control, confidence and fuel management through up-to-the second information on range, levels and flow, ensuring improved efficiency.

Mercury uses more stainless steel components and exclusive low-copper XK 360 aluminum alloy to provide protection against saltwater corrosion. The Verado supercharger features a marine-grade anodized aluminum housing and Teflon®-coated rotors equipped with protective sacrificial anodes for superior protection.

Optimax is the leader in power, durability, performance and fuel efficiency. OptiMax 250 Pro XS creates a class of its own with remarkable acceleration and performance, providing best-in-class fuel economy, unbeatable performance and leading corrosion resistance.

OptiMax’s durability, reliability and advanced Direct Injected system outperform other DI engines in holeshot, mid-range acceleration and top-end speed while it delivers the ultimate in efficiency. OptiMax boasts an outstanding power-to-weight ratio, contributing to increased speed and better fuel efficiency for any type of boat. OptiMax is built saltwater tough with more stainless steel and corrosion resistant components. OptiMax is controlled by the innovative Motorola® Propulsion Control Module (PCM) and is loaded with “smart” features that make boating more enjoyable, such as SmartCraft and Engine Guardian. OptiMax is the best-selling DI outboard on the market and ranks among the marine world’s best values.

OptiMax is outfitted with innovative features designed to let you enjoy every available minute—features like its two-stage direct injected fuel system, ultra-reliable components and “smart” electronics that give you confidence to go as far as you like.  OptiMax fuel economy rates better than that of most four-stroke outboards. It’s founded on a proven DI system that boasts the industry’s leading fuel-and-air atomization. Plus, the unique shapes of the OptiMax piston heads and combustion chambers significantly add to its excellent fuel economy and low emissions.

OptiMax is built with more Stainless Steel Components, which translates to saltwater durability, longer intervals between maintenance and lower cost of ownership. In addition, our lower-pressure DI system also provides superior component durability and longevity. Innovative features like Engine Guardian, a proactive warning system, alert you to anything unusual. OptiMax 200 and 225 horsepower models are available with SmartCraft Digital Throttle & Shift for a more enjoyable driving experience.

Portable and Mid-Range Four-Strokes
115HP / 90HP / 75HP / 60HP / 50HP / 40HP / 30HP / 25HP / FLYWAY 25HP / 20HP / 15HP / 15 PROKICKER / 9.9 PROKICKER / 9.9 BIGFOOT 9.9 HP / 8HP / 6HP / 5HP / 4HP / 3.5HP / 2.5HP

Mercury mid-range engines deliver the reliable, responsive power you need, along with the fuel-efficient performance with reliable, instant starts and clean, quiet operation to flawless performance under almost any condition with consistent, easy starts, smooth operation and reliability. The 25 and 30 hp models are the industry’s first batteryless EFI outboards. All portable and mid-range Mercury FourStrokes feature inline designs for inherently smooth operation. Every mercury mid-range fourstroke engine carries a carb three-star ultra-low emissions rating.

The integrated idle relief attenuator, engineered air intakes and acoustic foam make our 75 - 115 horsepower fourstrokes nearly silent at idle. Easy shifting precision engineered shift system delivers smooth shifting for an improved driving experience. Every mercury 75 – 115 horsepower fourstroke outboard features a 50-amp, 630-watt alternator, which can power all your accessories – electronics, lights, livewells and audio equipment.

Every 40 – 115 horsepower smartcraft equipped fourstroke features troll control, which allows you to set your rpm as low as 550 for trolling or running through extended no-wake zones. The 75 – 115 fourstrokes feature the same valve train architecture as Verado – a robust design that is incredibly durable and maintenance-free for life, and is built with our fully filtered air intake to protect internal engine components from dust and sand. Our advanced antidrainback oil system assures instant lubrication upon start-up.

The ECM Electronic Control Module’s advanced microprocessor is the brain of the Mercury FourStroke engine controling idle speed, starting and smooth performance while alerting you to potential problems. Mercury FourStrokes deliver powerful saltwater protection by using stainless steel components, hard anodizing, engineered polymers and exclusive multistep painting and coating processes. Saltwater maintenance is made easy in the 40 – 115 hp models with the innovative freshwater flushing water. All 40 – 115 hp Mercury FourStrokes are designed to be SmartCraft Compatible for the ultimate in easy boating. SmartCraft Integrated Marine Technology brings together all boat and engine functions to provide information about current fuel usage or warnings of a potential problem. Engine Guardian uses more than 40 sensors to monitor functions of your engine. If the proactive operator-warning system detects overreving, overheating or low oil pressure – Engine Guardian automatically reduces engine power to prevent damage.
