Intuitive, innovative features

Rugged and smooth

Durable internal components, quality materials and precision engineering combine to provide smooth shifting and a long service life.

Power Trim XD

By moving the power trim pump inside the hull, we have virtually eliminated corrosion before it can start and made it easy to check or service the system while the boat is in the water.

MercFusion paint system

From start to finish, Mercury drives are engineered tough, right down to a multi-part paint system that creates a durable outer seal against the elements.

Precision MerCathode

The available MerCathode® system is a powerful electronic corrosion inhibitor that automatically and constantly fights back against galvanic corrosion. It is ideal for boats kept in the water.

Easy-check drive lube monitor

Routine drive lube checks are a breeze. You can check the level and quality of the lube from the engine compartment, and there is an audible warning that will alert you if the lube gets low.

Performance in every prop

Whether you want maximum speed, peak efficiency or all-around great performance, we offer a broad selection of three and four-blade props to help you dial in your propulsion system. It is the total performance package.

MerCruiser Drives Advantage

Easy ownership

We have simplified service so you can keep your focus on fun, with features that minimise maintenance and allow routine tasks to be done without removing the boat from the water.

The Mercury diesel family is legendary for durability and reliability. Tough engines and drives made for long hours, endless days and year after year of boating fun.
