The Ultimate 150hp Four-stroke
Boaters spoke and we listened. The new Mercury 150 FourStroke is
the toughest, smallest, and lightest 150hp four-stroke engine in the
world. In other words, another game-changing outboard from Mercury -
just what you need to take your time on the water to the next level.
- Mercury FourStroke technology for maximum fuel economy and smoothness
- Large displacement for "out of the hole" performance
- Compact and lowest weight in design for better hull control
- Fewer moving parts for less friction and greater reliability
- Quiet operation, making it easy to converse
- An outboard that is fully tested in all conditions for all-around performance
- The only outboard that comes with a 3-year corrosion warranty
- More stainless steel components for longevity
- Best-in-class battery charging system for longer battery life
The most compact, lowest weight, most durable 150hp FourStroke
outboard the world has ever seen. Extremely versatile in single or twin
applications.
Tough enough for the most extreme conditions
Durability & Superior Performance
Higher displacement means less work from the engine to produce
torque and horsepower. The new Mercury 150 hp FourStroke is built to
develop loads of torque at a stress level that will ensure higher
durability than any other 150 hp outboard. Higher displacement simply
means more torque and horsepower. The higher the torque, the faster the
holeshot and acceleration. And more power equals faster top speeds. The
Mercury 150 FourStroke is the only 150 FourStroke to have a torque curve
rivaling the strongest two-strokes.
- Some 3.0L outboards produce well over 250hp. This 3.0L Mercury
FourStroke only needs to deliver 150hp, which means exceptional
durability and long-term peace of mind.
- The new 150hp FourStroke also features a robust 4.9" gearcase that uses larger, more durable components.
- With nearly 10,000 hours of engineering and field testing, we
made sure that this 150hp FourStroke is the world's most reliable
outboard engine.
Light enough for efficient performance
The lowest weight 150 FourStroke on the planet!
What seems like magic is simply Mercury Marine doing what it
does best - creating game-changing, incomparable engines that elevate
boating to the next level.
The new Mercury 150hp FourStroke has almost 15 percent fewer
parts than Suzuki's 150 Four-stroke and almost 18 percent fewer parts
than Yamaha 150 hp Four-stroke engine.
A smaller compact design and a lighter weight reduces the
overall package weight of the boat, which, depending on the hull, will
improve performance and efficiency.
The new Mercury 150hp FourStroke is 454 lbs and is only 22 lbs heavier than the 150 OptiMax (at 432 lbs).
This makes the new 150hp FourStroke a great fit not only for new
boat packages, but also repower, even on older boats which could not
handle the weight of heavier competitive 4-Strokes.
Weight comparisons are based on competitors' published weights for 20" (L) models.
Vibration Management System
The Mercury 150hp FourStroke incorporates an exclusive and
unique Focused Mount System which is 22 percent heavier and tougher than
those found on competitive 150hp outboards.
The upper mounts are at a much wider 45-degree angle from the
engine's center of gravity and in a location where they can operate
under ambient temperature conditions, rather than under the higher heat
radiating from the immediate powerhead area.
Placing the mounts farther away from the powerhead significantly
reduces mount temperature and increases mount durability. Angling the
mounts significantly reduces vibration transmitted to the boat, at all
points in the power band, but especially at transient points from a fast
idle to where the boat is coming on plane.
Higher durability and significantly reduced vibration mean a more pleasurable boating experience all around.
Sound Management
As part of its world-class sound management technology, the
Mercury 150hp FourStroke features a special idle exhaust relief system:
- Simple baffle design
- Low pass acoustic filter to weaken high frequency exhaust noise at idle speeds
Quiet operation at low speeds makes it easier to converse while in the boat or during a long day of trolling.
Built for Salt
Saltwater is a marine engine's worst nightmare.
To survive wide-ranging salinity, temperature, and humidity
levels requires expert marine understanding, technology, cost, and
equipment. No other company invests as much time, energy, and dollars in
their products to deliver an engine with the long-term corrosion-fighting characteristics:
- Lowest copper content aluminum - Mercury XK360 is the most corrosion-resistant alloy on the market.
- Exclusive MercFusion paint system features an
Electro-Deposition Paint process, which electronically bonds paint to
metal throughout the engine, even inside internal water passages.
- Waterproof electrical systems and connectors sit under a
tightly sealed cowling system that uses a baffle to let air enter the
cowl but forces water to drain out.
Tough Engine. Tough Warranty.
No other manufacturer offers:
- 3-year non-declining factory-backed warranty.
- 3-year industry-exclusive corrosion warranty.
- Support from the largest network of authorized Mercury dealers.
A warranty that's supported by the strength and service expertise of one of the largest dealer networks in the country.
Two-Stroke torque. FourStroke Efficiency.
What do you get when you combine class-leading displacement with
the lightest 150hp fourstroke on the market? Mercury's new definition
of performance.
- 3.0L displacement delivers the powerful torque needed to
launch your boat onto plane and provide responsive mid-range
acceleration.
- An exceptional power-to-weight ratio means outstanding fuel economy and more on-water time between fill-ups.
- A large 4.9" gearcase easily lifts heavy boats better than
smaller gearcases found on competitive fourstrokes, significantly
improving boat handling from slower cruising speeds to full throttle
runs.
All Amped Up
The Mercury 150hp FourStroke's marine hardened "on-demand"
alternator is a 60 Amp (756 Watt) high-output external unit. In fact,
this alternator already produces over 2/3 of its charging power at just
1000 RPM... perfect for keeping batteries fully charged while trolling
or on that leisurely cruise.
- Belt-driven means less heat and weight.
- Provides power only when needed.
- Fully regulated at 14.2 volts.
- Hard anodized for best-in-class corrosion protection.
More Time on the Water. Less Time in the Shop.
Under the cowl, the new 150hp FourStroke has a convenient
maintenance label highlighting basic maintenance intervals and
requirements for the "do-it-yourself's". This label features a QR code
that links to a series of step-by-step videos demonstrating just how
easy it is to perform routine maintenance such as oil and gear lube
changes.
- QR code linking to videos, local dealers, and a Mercury-direct hotline.
- No-spill oil change system and easy-access fuel filter.
- The only fourstroke available with a valve train that requires NO maintenance over the life of the engine.
Perfect for Repower
Mercury's new 150 FourStroke has far less transom well
interference and a lower profile making it easy to fish over and around,
or to mount under tight-fitting engine wells.
At a weight approaching that of a 2-Stroke, the new 150
FourStroke is the lightest of its kind, and will easily repower most
older hulls not designed to accommodate the weight of competitive 150
4-Strokes.
Flexible enough to accommodate mechanical or hydraulic steering, the Big Tiller
system, mechanical control/cables, and a full complement of either
analog or SmartCraft gauges - this new 150 FourStroke is equally suited
to the most basic or the most sophisticated of repower jobs.
