Mercury Outboard 250 / 300 Verado
The smooth, refined power of a V-8 4.6-litre powerhead delivers exhilarating acceleration and top speed to run offshore with confidence, with generous displacement and robust design that provide uncompromising durability and reliability. The Mercury-exclusive Advanced MidSection (AMS) and under-cowl noise management features set the standard for smooth, quiet marine propulsion.No outboard in the class offers more displacement than the Verado V-8 4.6-litre. The performance-inspired 32-valve double-overhead-cam (DOHC) design and long, tuned intake runners produce more torque and allow the engine to reach higher engine speeds (rpm) faster. Weight is trimmed to 272 kilos for improved power-to-weight. Transient Spark calibration optimizes spark timing to boost hole-shot torque by as much as 7 percent, so you can get on plane and get going in an instant
Superior fuel economy
V-8 Verado outboards deliver superior fuel economy at cruising speed and wide-open throttle. Advanced Range Optimization (ARO) calibration precisely adjusts the fuel mixture and delivers the best possible efficiency at any speed. Verado V-8 outboards are calibrated to deliver full performance on 87-octane fuel.
Smooth and quiet
250 hp and 300 hp Verado deliver class-leading smooth and quiet performance. The next-generation Advanced MidSection (AMS) on moves engine mounts aft and outward to virtually eliminate vibration. Engine noise is minimized by a tuned multi-chamber air intake, fuel-injector covers that decrease high-frequency noise, and a highly engineered cowl sealing system.
Corrosion resistance
Not only are Verado outboards designed and built to withstand the rigors of saltwater operation, they’re backed by a three-year anti-corrosion warranty – a significant advantage over competitors’ products.9
