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.
  • AWARD-WINNING TILLER HANDLE: Mercury Marine's tiller handle assembly for the 15 and 20hp portable outboard motors won the 2018 award in the "Propulsion Parts" category at the annual International Boatbuilders' Exhibition & Conference (IBEX). This new tiller handle features several remarkable advancements to make the steering, shifting and throttle operation of portable outboards more intuitive, comfortable and responsive, and is the world's first portable outboard tiller that offers ambidextrous operation.

And a total commitment to corrosion protection, utilizing hard-coat anodizing and a superior multi-step paint process. Mercury FourStroke engines have consistently set the bar for clean, quiet performance and low fuel consumption. Plus, no one has more models to fit your needs.
