FourStroke Portables are anything but lightweight
when it comes to performance. Available in 2.5 to
25 horsepower, these FourStrokes incorporate
the lessons we’ve learned in more than 65 years
of perfecting outboard technology for the marine
environment.
In short, we took championship-winning power
and performance and made it everything a
four-stroke should be:
Clean and Quiet Reliable
Fuel-Efficient No Mixing of Gas and Oil
Additionally, most manual-start FourStroke
Portables feature a camshaft decompression
system that makes them easier to start than
competitive four-strokes.
™
Fast, reliable outboard power – you really can
take it with you no matter where your boating
adventures lead. With Mercury Portables you get
the dependable power and performance you need
without sacrificing convenience. With horsepower
ranging from 2.5 to 25, Mercury Portables are
made to fit in the back of your car as easily as
they fit on the back of your boat.
All models offer quick, easy starts and a rubber-
insulated transom mounting system to reduce
vibration and driver fatigue. And many feature
simple, one-handed operation with shift, throttle,
steering, throttle friction, and stop controls all
designed to fit in the palm of your hand.
After all, boating is supposed to be fun and easy.
Tough, dependable Mercury Portables help you
keep it that way.
