FourStroke 2.5-20 HP

Introducing the Mercury FourStroke. Put amazing power in the palm of your hand. These compact outboard motors take you to the fun, the fish, or whatever floats your boat – quickly and reliably. Enjoy quick acceleration to go with exhilarating speed. Easy to install and operate, with reliable starting, low vibration, and instant throttle response. It’s worry-free boating at its best.
Built to deliver the type of power, thrust, and control that wider, heavier boats require. Great for aluminum tiller, inflatable soft hull, jon, utility, and sail boats.
Multiple trim positions to enhance performance and enable shallow-water operation. Through-prop exhaust makes it extra quiet.
Mercury 15 and 20hp FourStroke outboards are designed to improve every minute of your time on the water. The tiller can be adjusted for steering with either hand, adding convenience, while battery-free electronic fuel injection (EFI) and a twin-cylinder powerhead deliver reliability, easy starts, optimized fuel efficiency and outstanding power.
