Key Selling Points

Built for Shallow-Water Boating

The biggest advantage of this Mercury is its Jet Drive configuration.

Unlike a conventional propeller-driven outboard, a jet-drive system is designed for operation in shallow waterways, making it particularly useful for boaters navigating areas where underwater obstacles and limited water depth are a concern.

Ideal applications include:

• Shallow rivers
• Creeks
• Rocky waterways
• River fishing
• Jet sleds
• Aluminium fishing boats
• Workboats
• Shallow-water recreational boats
• Suitable commercial marine applications

If shallow-water access is important to you, a Mercury Jet Drive can provide a major advantage over a conventional propeller setup.

60HP Powerhead – 40HP Jet Output

This Mercury uses a 60HP powerhead and produces approximately 40HP of jet-drive output.

Jet-drive systems experience power loss through the conversion from propeller thrust to jet propulsion, which is why the powerhead rating and jet output are specified separately.

The result is a package designed to provide the power required for demanding shallow-water applications while retaining the manoeuvrability and protection advantages of a jet drive.

Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)

The Mercury four-stroke powerhead features Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for precise fuel delivery.

EFI provides several practical benefits:

• Easy starting
• Smooth throttle response
• Consistent engine operation
• Efficient fuel delivery
• Improved drivability
• Reduced need for manual fuel-system adjustment

This makes the engine well suited to boaters who want modern fuel-injected convenience combined with shallow-water capability.

Four-Stroke Inline-Four Powerhead

The Mercury powerhead uses a four-cylinder four-stroke configuration, providing smooth and dependable operation.

The four-stroke design is well suited to regular fishing, recreational and workboat use, offering:

• Smooth power delivery
• Quiet operation
• Efficient fuel consumption
• Reliable performance
• Practical maintenance requirements

Remote Control Operation

This outboard comes with a remote control system, making it suitable for boats where the operator controls the engine from a steering console or helm.

Included control equipment:

• Remote control system
• Throttle / shift control box
• Wiring harness
• Ignition key

This makes the package particularly attractive for buyers looking for a more complete installation rather than a bare engine.

Only 30 Engine Hours

One of the strongest features of this Mercury Jet Drive is its only 30 hours of engine use.

At just 30 hours, this is an exceptionally low-hour used outboard and provides an attractive opportunity for buyers who want a modern Mercury Jet Drive without purchasing brand new.

Low-hour advantages:

• Minimal operating hours
• Attractive condition for its age/specification
• Less accumulated operating time
• Excellent resale appeal
• Strong value compared with new replacement cost

Engine hours should be independently verified from the engine’s hour meter or diagnostic system where available.
