Features

Features

  • Air induction - Performance-Tuned Scroll Intake Manifold
  • Recommended fuel - Unleaded Regular 87 Octane Minimum (R+M/2) or 90 RON 10% Ethanol Maximum
  • CARB star rating - 3
  • Compatible with SmartCraft digital technology
  • Controls - Mechanical throttle & shift
  • Shipped "Jet Ready" without gearcase, but with jet pump kit in box with engine. Customer must install jet pump as part of rigging process.
  • Requires a 25 in. boat transom

Intuitive, Innovative Features

  • HIGH-OUTPUT ALTERNATOR: A powerful 35-amp alternator helps keep batteries charged and your onboard electronics running all day.
  • STAINLESS IMPELLER: The stainless impeller improves performance and withstands harsh, abrasive debris that can be drawn through the pump, enhancing long-term durability and reliability.
  • ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION (EFI): From the moment you crank the engine to the moment you drop the throttle, EFI technology responds with instant power. Surefire starting in all weather conditions. Smooth, efficient acceleration. Maximum capability.
  • HIGH-DISPLACEMENT POWERHEAD: Featuring the proven Mercury 2.1L inline-4 powerhead, these 65 and 80hp Jet outboards pack the muscle and reliability needed to confidently tackle challenging waters.
  • ADVANCED CONTROLS: With choice of tiller or remote steering, you can outfit your shallow-water boat with a Mercury propulsion system that’s perfect for your adventures.

Jet Advantage

  • CORROSION RESISTANCE: Specially engineered alloys, waterproof electrical connections and a tightly sealed cowl system help protect your engine from the harshest elements in freshwater and salt.
  • DURABILITY MEETS DRIVABILITY: Our Jet outboards are tough, yet easy to handle, with a durable stainless impeller that can withstand hard operation and intuitive controls that put you in full command on the river or the marsh.
  • MORE FUN ON LESS FUEL: Explore farther and stay out longer thanks to a lightweight design and optimized fuel injection that maximize performance from every drop of gas.
  • COMPACT FLEXIBILITY: The low weight and slender width of a Mercury Jet outboard lets you power boats ranging from compact river skiffs and small jon boats to larger boats capable of hauling all the gear and people you need for serious outdoor adventures.

Jet Performance Data

  • REDUCED FRICTION: These FourStroke outboards are among the lowest-friction engines on the water. Low friction reduces the amount of power needed to run the engine, leaving more power to run the boat efficiently.
  • POWERFUL ACCELERATION: Mercury Jet outboards deliver awesome hole shots thanks to an efficient jet-drive design and performance-tuned scroll intake that increases torque.
  • LIGHTER BY DESIGN: The lightweight FourStroke engine design is ideal for shallow-water applications.
