sterndrives Mercury Racing strives to create the most powerful, responsive, fuel-efficient sterndrives on the planet. Doing so requires incredible dedication. So it’s no surprise that Mercury Racing – along with its parent company Mercury Marine® – was the first U.S. marine engine manufacturer to be ISO 9001:2000 certified. These sterndrives reflect Mercury Racing’s high standards and commitment to continuing our leadership position in the marine industry both on and off the racecourse.
STERNDRIVEs 525 EFI sterndrive You don’t need to don a race number (but you can) to enjoy the raw power this race-proven engine delivers. It’s a favorite among recreation sport boaters and poker runners alike. Already world renowned for its prowess on the racecourse, the 525’s popularity is bound to grow with the addition of an extra dose of durability via the newly available NXT1® and NXT1 SSM drive options.

Sterndrive Props hand–crafted sterndrive props Transferring the power of an engine into high performance on the water is the job of a propeller. Mercury Racing has perfected the science behind propeller design. Pitch, rake angle, diameter, blade configuration … they’re all part of an equation that differs depending on what your boat needs (and what you want). From the Mirage Plus to the 6-Blade CNC Cleaver, with Mercury Racing propellers you always get the same thing: customized prop perfection.
Shown is the Mercury Racing Lab Finished 6-Blade CNC Cleaver propeller. mercury prop slip calculator is available at mercuryracing.com to help you quickly determine the difference between actual and theoretical travel resulting from a necessary propeller blade angle of attack. Propeller Cases constructed of high-impact polyethylene protect your investment during shipping and storage. See mercuryracing.com for suitable propellers.

outboard Props High-performance Props Mercury Racing Lab Finished ® outboard propellers have set more speed records, and won more national and world championships than any other propeller. Many of the first propellers were created and produced to support factory tunnel boat racing. In an effort to get more performance out of racing props, hydrodynamic experts spent years in engineering labs studying propellers traveling through water and the effects modifications made to propeller (and boat) performance.
Shown is the Mercury Racing Lab Finished Bravo I Vented. mercury prop slip calculator is available at mercuryracing.com to help you quickly determine the difference between actual and theoretical travel resulting from a necessary propeller blade angle of attack. LAB and PRO Finish Options Lab Finished models feature thinner blades (compared to the Pro Finished) with crisp leading and tight trailing edges that are designed for lightweight boats with natural bow lift.
