Product details

Power tenders and dinghies effortlessly

The MERCURY FourStroke provides portable power and thrust for exact operation. The 6HP engine's low weight is especially suitable for shallow waters.


Leightweight

Weighing just 17 and 26 Kilograms, respectively, our 2.5 - 3.5hp and 4 - 6hp FourStroke outboards are easy to lift and carry.

Shallow waters
Multiple trim positions enhance performance and enable shallow-water operation.

Easy to start
Automatic decompression bleeds off cylinder pressure to reduce the pulling force required to start the engine.

Quiet

Through-prop exhaust on all Mercury® 4 - 6hp FourStrokes exits underwater for quiet operation.

Fueling options

Mercury® 4, 5 and 6hp FourStrokes feature integral fuel tanks with an external fuel-shutoff valve, as well as a fuel-tank cap on top of the cowl. For extended range, these engines also can be connected to a remote fuel tank placed in the boat.

Starts poorly
Despite following all the steps to start it, the engine starts briefly and then dies. After that, it always takes a long time and requires a lot of energy until the engine starts.
Once it starts, everything is fine.
Therefore, I would not recommend buying it.
