MERCURY PROPELLERS:
A PERFORMANCE REVOLUTION
Only Mercury offers over 500 unique propellers, each
engineered with the best technology and alloys available, making
it easy to maximize top speed, acceleration, fuel economy and
towing power no matter the size or style of your boat.
UNMATCHED DEALER
COVERAGE AND SUPPORT
Every Mercury outboard is developed to deliver outstanding
reliability and performance. However, if there comes a time when
you do need to visit a dealer, it’s reassuring to know that Mercury
has more factory-trained, authorized dealers in North America
than any other outboard manufacturer. So if you’re coming in
for routine maintenance or just to find out about the latest
marine technology,
Mercury Marine has a dealer near you.
PRECISION
SETS US APART
Boaters choose Mercury outboards because of their
superior fuel economy, performance and durability.
Mercury Precision Parts
®
and fluids are designed
to protect your investment, so the performance and
durability that you expect on day one will be
enjoyed for years to come.
Our proprietary
X7 alloy is 30% stronger and
four times more durable than conventional stainless
steel. This allows us to design props that deliver
a combination of top speed and acceleration that
other props cannot.
If the propeller strikes an underwater object, our
innovative Flo-Torq
®
II system sacrifices itself to
protect the outboard’s lower unit. Plus, the Flo-Torq II
system makes our props compatible with other
outboards, so even non-Mercury owners can enjoy
an improvement in performance.
Before we introduce any new propeller,
we subject
them to rigorous fatigue testing
to make sure that
Mercury Propellers lead the marketplace in durability,
performance and satisfaction.
Maintenance products like Mercury Quickleen
®
and our Fuel System Treatment and Stabilizer
work together to deliver the fuel efficiency and
engine performance you expect year after year.
Water is merciless on your engine components.
Our high-performance gear lube uses advanced
emulsifiers and tackifiers to deliver protection against
corrosion and wear and tear.
The best way to keep your engine clean and running
efficiently is to choose Mercury Precision Oils.
Unlike automotive blends, our oils are specifically
designed to protect against the brutal conditions of
the marine environment. So whether it’s the
custom-formulated, FC-W-certified Verado oil or
our carbon deposit-reducing OptiMax oil, Mercury
Precision Oils are designed to work seamlessly
with your Mercury outboard.
More dealerships mean more convenience. Our
service network is the largest in North America with
over 5,500 authorized dealers.
Each authorized dealer incorporates the same procedures
to ensure a consistent, quality experience, regardless
of location. This includes:
• Performing pre-delivery inspection.
Utilizing specialized diagnostic tools to quickly
diagnose engine performance issues.
Employing a dedication to delivering a higher
level of customer service.
• Training at Mercury University, which allows the dealer to
stay informed on the latest Mercury products and technology.
Our Mercury
customer service call center is staffed
with product specialists to help answer both dealer
and customer questions about their outboards.
