BIG PERFORMANCE IN
A SMALLER OUTBOARD
THREE-YEAR
WARRANTY
Every Mercury FourStroke is
backed by a limited three-year
factory warranty.
CLEANEST
BY FAR
All Mercury FourStrokes (except 15 hp)
exceed the EPA emissions standards for
2008 and have received a CARB three-
star ultra-low emissions rating. They’re
all clean and efficient but boast plenty
of torque to keep it fun.
Versatile, reliable and fuel-efficient Mercury Portables run laps around the competition.
Literally. Available with horsepower ranging from 2.5 to 25, these high-performance
powerhouses are designed to work harder than the average outboard.
Take our BigFoot Portables for example. With their oversized gear cases, larger props and
greater gear reduction, BigFoot Portables are engineered to provide greater thrust,
maneuverability and holding and stopping power. Their portable design makes them ideal
for use on pontoons, light-duty commercial craft and inflatables, or as auxiliary power on
sailing or fishing boats.
From the convenient tiller-handle controls to a beefed up transom assembly, the 9.9hp
ProKicker is fisherman's dream. Built to handle the meanest whitecaps and get to the fish
quicker, the Pro Kicker features a superfast power tilt, centering straps that keep the
engine aligned while under main power and a four-blade, high thrust propeller for superior
handling and ultra-slow trolling speeds.
Add in the fact that Portable FourStrokes can run off your main fuel source, and it’s no
wonder more and more fisherman and pro anglers are making our FourStroke Portables
their kickers of choice.
THREE-YEAR
CORROSION WARRANTY
Every Mercury engine is
backed by the industry’s only
three-year corrosion failure
limited warranty, further
proving that we stand behind
our power.
