Forget everything you know about four-stroke outboards. Ours change the game. Completely. They’re tougher, smaller, and lighter than any other four-stroke on the water. With a combination of performance and efficiency that will take your time on the water to a whole new level. World class engines, world class support, that's what you get when you buy a Mercury. All recreational Mercury outboard models from the 2.5 - 350hp range now come with 3+3= 6 years of warranty coverage.
