It’s Time to Stop Repairing and Start Boating Again
If your current sterndrive is becoming unreliable, expensive to maintain, or simply isn’t delivering the performance it once did, there’s never been a better time to upgrade.
For a limited time, Mercury Marine is offering a guaranteed minimum trade-in on your existing engine when you repower with an eligible new Mercury MerCruiser Sterndrive Package. The promotion runs from 1 June to 30 September 2026, giving Australian boat owners the opportunity to upgrade to modern Mercury reliability while receiving outstanding value for their current engine.
Whether you’re chasing greater reliability, improved fuel efficiency, smoother operation or simply peace of mind, a genuine Mercury MerCruiser repower transforms the way your boat performs.
Why Repower with Mercury MerCruiser?
A modern MerCruiser package delivers far more than just a new engine.
Depending on your vessel, you’ll enjoy benefits such as:
- Greater reliability and reduced maintenance
- Improved fuel economy
- Faster acceleration and stronger mid-range torque
- Quieter operation
- Modern SmartCraft compatibility
- Improved resale value
- Genuine Mercury parts, support and warranty
For many owners, repowering costs significantly less than replacing the entire boat while delivering an almost completely new boating experience.
Guaranteed Trade-In = More Value
During this promotion, Mercury is offering a guaranteed minimum trade-in allowance on eligible MerCruiser Sterndrive packages.
Instead of trying to privately sell your old engine—or paying to dispose of it—you’ll receive a guaranteed trade-in value that reduces the cost of your new MerCruiser package. Promotional pricing varies depending on the engine package selected and finance options are also available on eligible models.
Is Your Engine Ready for Retirement?
Many owners continue repairing older sterndrives because they assume replacing the engine is too expensive.
In reality, once major repairs begin adding up, a complete repower often becomes the smarter long-term investment.
Signs it may be time include:
- Frequent breakdowns
- Poor fuel economy
- Excessive smoke
- Corrosion issues
- Hard starting
- Lack of available replacement parts
- Rising servicing costs every season
If this sounds familiar, we’d be happy to inspect your vessel and provide honest advice.
