At Mercury, we engineer, build and test reliability into all our products. We always have, and we always will. Because whether you've got four 300hp Verados spanning your transom or a 2.5hp FourStroke on the back of your inflatable boat, consistent, reliable engine performance is a must.
So before we put our outboards to the test in the real world, they endure test after test in our state-of-the-art testing center. All so you can take to the water with confidence every time, no matter what. Because when you're on the water, reliability is more than just a word. It's peace of mind.
At Mercury, when we add product innovations to our outboards that improve reliability, fuel efficiency, or handling, we make sure that none of them compromises a single lick of power or performance. It's important to us because we know it's important to you. As much as we tout reliability and dollars saved at the gas pump, we can't help but feel a certain affinity for unfathomable holeshots … unrivaled acceleration … and unparalleled top speed. Like you, we're hardwired to appreciate the wind in our face. So naturally our outboards are hardwired to deliver all that and more.
Sure, Mercury's sophisticated engineering and innovative technology result in world-class outboard reliability and performance. But boaters like you demand outstanding fuel economy – and Mercury delivers. Take the Mercury Verado and OptiMax outboard families, for example. When compared to other outboards, the Verado and OptiMax can save you thousands of dollars over five years. This fuel efficiency isn't exclusive to our large outboard families; it also pertains to our small and mid-range horsepower outboards. The writing is on the wall. When it comes to fuel efficiency, ours is a lineup of outboards that remains almost impossible to best.
Verado, the world's only supercharged production outboard engine, epitomizes reliability, power, and performance and delivers the smoothest, most intuitive, most finely tuned ride on water.
