The new Mercury V-8 SeaPro outboard models bring more of everything to the job—more displacement, more power, more efficiency and more durability. The impressive muscle of our new V-8 4.6-litre powerhead is specifically designed for commercial duty and delivers our best-ever fuel economy and FourStroke performance. The combination of ample torque and low weight makes these engines ideal for heavily-loaded boats. Guaranteed to do its job, so you can do yours. Mercury SeaPro FourStroke models come with a 2+1 = 3 year commercial factory warranty.

ENGINE DETAILS

Mercury engineers strategically trimmed weight to produce some of the lightest engines in the class—by up to 30 pounds—and the powerhead configuration has been optimized to minimize size. Ideal for commercial fishing vessels, commercial workboats and law-enforcement boats.
