Mercury has invested countless hours into engineering the 175 to 225hp family of FourStroke outboards, so you don’t have to give it a second thought. A 3.4L V6 powerhead delivers unmatched performance and reliability, while a vibration-dampening design ensures a quiet, comfortable boating experience. FourStroke outboards are easy to own, fun to drive and ready to explore.
Adaptive Speed Control: Maintains a desired rpm regardless of changes in load or conditions without adjustments to the throttle lever position.
Smooth and Quite: V6 FourStroke engines are quieter and smoother than the leading competitor.
Industry-Exclusive Battery Management Technology: When battery voltage is low, engines will automatically increase idle rpm to boost alternator output and charge batteries to the proper level, protecting the batteries from draining while trolling and operating electronic devices.
