Product details

Easy starting

The new MERCURY F8 EFI outboard is incredibly responsive, provides greater safety and easy starting.


The new EFI models

The Mercury EFI outboards include:
  • The new EFI outboard engines deliver fast, reliable starting and instant throttle response in any weather.
  • The superior torque provides more acceleration, for faster boat planing.
  • Lighter construction and improved design for better performance, fuel economy, efficiency and hull control.
  • The new design allows quicker and easier oil and filter changes.
  • The new EFI outboards have a practical fresh water flushing system and a low-copper aluminium alloy that provides even better protection against corrosion.

Command trust

Big-time power. With a longer design and bigger components, Mercury Command Thrust was made specifically to deliver the type of power, thrust and control that wider, heavier boats demand.

The Command Thrust Difference (Blue shaded areas represent prop and gearcase advantages)
  • 20% larger prop increases control especially at low speeds.
  • Taller gearcase puts the prop deeper, below turbulent water, for improved performance.
  • A low 2.42:1 gear ratio delivers thrust and maneuveraility that big loads demand.
  • Oversized Antiventilation Plate. Oversized design prevents air from being drawn into the prop, which increases efficiency.


Power in the palms of your hands

The Tiller model features an exclusive Mercury multifunction tiller. Which controls:
  • Shifting
  • Throttle control (featuring an optimal slow-speed throttle advance function)
  • Stopping
  • Tilting
  • Steering


Low weight

At a very low weight, these engines are very portable and improve the performance of lightweight boats.


Convenient and easy tilting

Push down on the tiller handle to easily tilt the outboard to any position made easy with an exclusive ratcheting transom bracket.


Start easily, idle smoothly

Mercury 4-stroke EFI outboards have features that make starting easier, warm-ups faster and idling smoother!
  • EFI fuel system with battery-free manual start.
  • Improved fuel consumption.
  • Fast, reliable starting.
  • Improved running quality.

How powerful does the starting battery need to be for the electric start model of this engine? I know its 12v, but how many amp-hours and how high does the CCA rating need to be?
