adventure, rebellion, discovery and, most of all, power. While some may
look at only the surface, intrepid boaters peer deeper into our engines
every journey on the water as distinct and memorable as possible.

We believe boaters adventurous enough to fly the black flag
are rewarded; not just with momentary excitement, but with an
experience more intense, more stirring and more compelling than
any other engine can provide.

THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS

What type of engine do you need? Two-stroke? Four-stroke? With Mercury, there is no wrong answer.
Different boats demand different engines. While our competitors typically offer only one technology,
Mercury has perfected them all. Thats the Mercury advantage. Were proud to offer the marine industrys
most comprehensive, leading-edge lines of two-stroke and four-stroke engines, led by our supercharged
FourStroke Verado and the worlds most preferred two-stroke outboard, OptiMax.
FOUR-STROKE
Intake. Compression. Power. Exhaust. Those are the stages of four-cycle
combustion. Because every combustion series consists of four discrete stages, four-stroke engines
tend to be quieter, smoother and more fuel-efficient than two-strokes, all while producing fewer
emissions. Four-strokes typically lack the torque, muscle and overall giddyup of two-stroke engines.
But Mercury Marine is not your typical four-stroke manufacturer.
From our sensationally powerful Verado 300 hp, all the way down to our simple 2.5 hp portable,
every Mercury FourStroke is smoother, cleaner, quieter and more dependable than any competitors
engine. Plus, much like our two-strokes, Mercury FourStrokes have never lacked in the power
department. Thats specifically true with Mercury Verado, the most sophisticated FourStroke ever.
As the worlds only supercharged production engine, Verado combines the silky-smooth
performance of a luxury sedan with the get-up-and-go of a big-block muscle car.
Look Deeper Into

The Details At
MercuryMarine.com
TWO-STROKE
Piston upstroke. Piston downstroke. Two simple strokes that deliver a ton
of advantages. With a more-concise combustion cycle and less bulk, two-stroke outboards are
notorious for their acceleration, throttle response and superb power-to-weight ratio. But while
boaters love the raw power of two-strokes, they historically have been turned off by their
lower fuel economy and higher emissions.
But 10 years ago, Mercury designed and engineered OptiMax a Direct Injected engine that
combines the power of a two-stroke with the advantages of a four-stroke. OptiMax has the
heart, soul, speed and power of a traditional two-stroke, but its unique two-stage injection
system creates a remarkably complete combustion which means boaters can have a great
time on the water while feeling good about conserving fuel and producing fewer emissions.

LIE THE BRIGHTEST IDEAS
When it comes to marine power, theres no need to fear the dark.
Rather than playing conservatively, Mercury chooses to conquer.

To stand up and rank first at something significant, instead of settling
for mediocrity. We started with a clean sheet of paper and created a
totally unique engine from the water up.
If you want to be revolutionary, rig your boat with the first and only
production supercharged engine in the history of marine propulsion.
Dare to discover the exhilarating results of unbridled thinking merging
with courageous engineering and breakthrough ideas teamed with
tireless follow-through.
Experience luxury sedan comfort and hot-rod performance as you sail

swift and sure over the chop. Feel record-setting acceleration and
ridiculously smooth steering and throttle response. Get to know what

supercharger creates greater
torque. Greater torque provides awesome acceleration
and lets you keep a heavily
loaded boat on plane at slower
speeds and climb taller waves.
So, while those other guys are
eating waves, youll be doing
what you enjoy most.
The patented, award-winning SmartCraft

Shadow Technology delivers intuitive,
easy control by allowing you to pilot
three (or even four) engines with just two
levers even from dual helms. When all
three of your engines are in the same
gear, the center engine shadows the
two outside engines by running at an
average rpm of the two outside engines.
When the outside engines are in opposite gears for docking, the center engine
defaults to neutral.

REACHING THE TOP STARTS IN THE MIDDLE
WELCOME TO
UNCHARTED TERRITORY
Most engines are soft in the middle big powerheads on top, props at the bottom, not
much muscle in between. The torso of a Verado, however, is like a set of washboard
abs powerful to the core. At the heart of Verado is our exclusive Advanced MidSection
(AMS) a unique cradle-mount concept that surrounds the powerhead with four progressive rate mounts. Those mounts isolate the powerhead to eliminate vibration and
stiffen as thrust load increases to improve handling. Plus the AMS positions the engine
five inches farther aft than traditional outboards, eliminating the need for heavy aftermarket hardware, such as jack plates. Smarter and more streamlined, the AMS provides
more lift and generates better top-speed performance.

SUPERIORITY IS BUILT FROM WITHIN
FILL UP ON FACTS
No engine uses more stainless steel parts

than Verado. With three times more stainless
steel components in this powerhouse, Verado
is more resistant to salt and corrosion than
any other outboard. While a Yamaha 150 hp
four-stroke tries to keep corrosion at bay with
a mere 12 pounds of stainless steel and a
Suzuki 150 hp four-stroke employs just 11
pounds, a Verado 150 hp boasts 39 pounds.
Sure rust never sleeps, but then again, neither
do we.
While the other guys were busy refueling, Mercury went to work redefining
the rules of consumption. The result?
The Range Plus Powertrain, which provides better fuel economy through
signficant powertrain refinements leaving the other guys feeling pretty empty
inside. At cruise, a new Verado 150 hp
delivers up to 26% more mpg than a
Suzuki 150 hp and up to 43% more
mpg than an Evinrude 150 hp E-TEC.

Verado shows off its exclusive supercharged system, delivering the torque big
boats need to get up on plane and to tackle big water. In fact, compared to
other 150 hp outboards, a Verado 150 hp accelerates from 0 20 mph 28%
faster than Suzuki, 31% faster than Honda and 8% faster than a four-stroke
Yamaha and Evinrude E-TEC.

ENOUGH WITH THEIR LITTLE WHITE LIES

Fact: Mercury OptiMax was the worlds first Direct Injected outboard.
Fact: OptiMax continues to receive the industrys highest customer-satisfaction rating.
Fact: OptiMax is the preferred power of more bass pros.
Fact: OptiMax is the worlds top-selling DI outboard.
Fact: When it comes to marine propulsion, theres nothing more powerful
than the truth.
At Mercury, we dont exaggerate the truth about our OptiMax engines
because we dont need to. We simply run our engines against theirs
and the difference is black and white: No two-stroke engine can beat
OptiMax. Not Yamaha HPDI, not Evinrude E-TEC. No one. If they say otherwise, were always anxious to line em up again. Stick with the truth.
Stick with Mercury.

WHY THE OTHER GUYS

HATE OUR GUTS
DRIVE WATER AND ADRENALINE

You want fast? You want a Mercury Tempest
Plus prop. Its three-blade, stainless steel design
is tough. The higher rake and bigger cup produce

thats why more bass boat companies make
Tempest Plus standard equipment on their boats.

A LEGEND FROM THE START
BEAT EM TO THE PUNCH AND THE FISH
OptiMax created that big splash called DI

technology more than a decade ago, and the
competition has been flailing in our wake
ever since. OptiMax stands alone as the bestselling DI engine in the world and for good
reason: Boaters know that when theyve got
an OptiMax at their back, nothing can stand
in their way. Its no surprise that OptiMax
continues to receive the industrys highest
customer-satisfaction rating year after year.
You cant fill your livewell with excuses. So strike

first and ask questions later with the most responsive two-stroke DI on the water. When tested side
by side, an OptiMax 200 hp blew Evinrude E-TEC HO
right out of the water. OptiMax went from 0 30
mph 7% faster than the Evinrude E-TEC and from
40 60 mph 11% quicker.

OUT OF SIGHT, PEACE OF MIND

Why is a Mercury FourStroke better? Because its nearly invisible.
Go ahead. Rig a Mercury on the back of your boat, and youll
rarely notice it.
Oddly enough, thats what makes it stand out.
When you turn the key, you know its going to start.
When you hit the throttle, youll always have enough power.
When you check the fuel gauge, theres enough to keep the
good times rolling.
Thats the mark of great recreational power. You focus on the
recreation, not the power.
If you do happen to forget about your Mercury? Dont worry.
Its tough enough to handle it.

NOTHINGS MORE RELAXING

THAN RELIABILITY
Cant wait another second to get on the

water? Then count on Mercury to get your
day started right. One turn of the key and
you can expect to hear the soft purr of the
engine. Only Mercury EFI performance
ensures consistent turn-key starting every
time, so you dont waste time getting your
boat off and running.
Unlike competitive engines, people dont use

four-letter words when they talk about Mercury
FourStrokes. Is it because theyre so reliable?
So quiet? Or so worry-free? Yes, uh-huh and
absolutely. The truth is, thanks to its maintenancefree valve train and loads of other reliable features,
this could be the last time you ever think about an
engine for your boat. When you mount a Mercury
on your transom, youll never, ever look back, and
that kind of peace of mind cant be beat.

IS THIS THING ON?
LETS BRING EVERYONE UP TO SPEED
Weve got an announcement to make.

Thanks to impressive advancements such as
engineered air intakes, acoustic foam lining and
an integrated idle-relief attenuator, the Mercury
90 hp FourStroke is remarkably quieter than the
competition. In fact, compared to our 90 hp, a
Yamaha 90 hp four-stroke is 26% louder and
Evinrude E-TEC is 182% louder. Sound amazing? Well, on top of that, our in-line design creates a ride so calm and comfortable, calling it
smooth would be an insult.
Still not positive Mercury beats the other guys in

every way? Our acceleration figures should provide
the knockout punch. A Mercury 90 hp FourStroke
goes from 0 30 mph almost four seconds faster
than Evinrude E-TEC and nearly two seconds faster
than a Yamaha four-stroke. No matter how heavy
the load, Mercury gets you on plane faster than
they can say lights out.

FILL THE LIVEWELL,

SLOW AND STEADY GETS THE FISH
Packing up the boat for a day on the water?

You can leave the spare gas tank behind.
Mercury FourStrokes wont interrupt your
day with an unscheduled trip to the pump.
In fact, our BigFoot 60 hp gets
better
mpg than Evinrude E-TEC and

SMALL ENGINES, BIG PERFORMANCE
Mercury FourStrokes lead the pack by optimizing

performance and providing smooth, quiet operation. If youre looking for precise trolling, these
Mercury FourStrokes can troll at slower speeds
than competitive engines. In fact, our FourStroke
slower than Evinrude E60 hp can troll
TEC and
slower than Suzuki. The kicker
here is, you wont need a kicker.

THE MOST POWERFUL CO-PILOT

Only Mercury FourStrokes help you make the most of your time on
the water with greater thrust and control. Mercury BigFoot features:
(1) an oversized antiventilation plate that prevents air from being
drawn into the prop
(2) a taller and more durable gearcase that uses a low 2.33:1 gear
ratio, which provides more torque
(3) a 20% bigger prop that creates more thrust for increased maneuverability.
When your pontoon is loaded and ready for action, a Mercury BigFoot
60 hp delivers up to
more reverse thrust than Evinrude E-TEC
and
more than Suzuki and Yamaha four-strokes. That translates
to more control in tight spaces and easier docking.

Nobody builds better engines
and nobody backs them better.
Only Mercury FourStrokes have a
three-year limited, factory-backed
nondeclining warranty on the
entire engine and a three-year
limited corrosion protection plan
to make sure you spend time on
the water, not in the shop.
BE A JET PILOT
Our 25 hp Jet isnt jumbo, but it sure is strong. This EFI powerhouse
gives you the freedom to fly over shallow lakes, rocky rivers, narrow
streams and other waterways you wouldnt dream of taking a traditional
propeller-driven outboard. Plus, Mercurys 25 hp Jet offers three-star
emissions, durable stainless steel impellers and a three-year limited,
factory-backed nondeclining warranty.

THEYRE ALL RUNNING BACK

TO THE DRAWING BOARD
Mercury FourStrokes 25 30 hp are the very
first battery-free, manual-start, EFI engines in
the category. When it comes to low-emission
engines, consistent turn-key starting, efficient
fuel management and smooth performance
regardless of conditions, no one can keep up
with Mercury EFI technology.
IT STARTS WHEN YOU SAY SO
PROVEN PORTABLE POWER
When the battery on an ordinary engine is

drained, youre sunk. Not so with Mercury
FourStrokes 25 30 hp. Every engine in this
horsepower range comes standard with a
manual recoil starter. So even if the battery
quits, you can take matters into your own
hands and keep your trip going strong.
THIS IS UNHEARD OF!

Our 2.5 and 3.5 hp FourStrokes weigh just 42 pounds, including the

Nothing moves a big load better

than BigFoot. It features a taller
gearcase to place the propeller deeper in the water, producing more
thrust to power heavier loads. From
a pontoon to a large fishing boat to a
shallow water skiff, BigFoot s unique
design delivers the control, thrust
and maneuverability needed to produce big-time fun.
CONVENIENCE HAS
NEVER BEEN SO CLEVER
STUFFED TO THE GILLS

WITH FEATURES
Never before has portable power seemed so perfect. Notorious for their user-friendly features like
full forward and reverse shifting, our 4, 5 and 6
hp FourStrokes also offer through-prop exhaust
that buries the sound underwater for quieter
operation and a decompression system that
allows for quick and effortless one-hand starting.
Plus, our 4 hp model raises the bar with an integrated fuel tank with shutoff.
Our 2.5 and 3.5 hp FourStrokes may be

small, but theyre filled with big ideas.
Both engines feature tiller steering that
rotates 360 degrees and a twist grip throttle for maximum maneuverability
and convenient one-handed control. Plus,
a clearly visible sight gauge makes it easy
to monitor and maintain a proper oil level.

manually change a clumsy lever to hold the engine in
place while running in reverse.
KEEP IT TOGETHER
The Mercury Pro Kicker tiller model features the fastest tilt in its class, and is
equipped with an exclusive kicker centering
strap that automatically straightens and
secures the engine once its completely tilted up. So when youre ready to roll, your
trolling engine wont flop around like a fish

MERCURY OILS: TO PROTECT AND PERFORM

MERCURY
2-CYCLE OIL
MERCURY
4-CYCLE OIL
Our 2-cycle oils far exceed

the marine industrys
TC-W3 standard so that
they dont just meet warranty requirements they
maximize performance
and long-term reliability.
When it comes to four-stroke

oils, Mercury protects your
investment like nothing else
