Time for a New Outboard Motor?
Is your boat ready for new power? Don’t wait until your engine is no longer working. With many outboard options on the market, identifying the best engine for your current boat can be daunting. Your authorized Mercury dealer can assess your current boat, discuss typical use and loads, determine which rigging and accessories you will need, and more.
The Big Tiller.
The optional center-mounted Big Tiller offers optimal control. A longer tiller grip incorporates a convenient power trim switch, the shift lever is close at hand, and an optional digital troll control adjusts engine speed as low as 700 rpm in 10-rpm increments.
Mercury jet drives providing superior safety
The Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club is upgrading its fleet of rigid inflatable boats (RIBs), replacing standard outboards with Mercury jet drives. The club has fitted an 80hp Mercury jet drive to one of its RIBS and is set to follow suit with another three.
