150 hp Verado
Fuel Economy Without Compromise. When it comes to fuel economy, we rewrote the rules. The truth is, every part was designed to make Verado the most fuel-efficient engine ever. And that it is. Verado offers class-leading fuel-efficiency … without compromising a single lick of power.
The making of a masterwork.
When Mercury set out to engineer the most perfect outboard engine imaginable, we made sure to question everything – every number, every scenario, every bit of minutia – ensuring no detail was taken for granted, no stone left unturned. The result was Verado, the world’s only supercharged production outboard engine
OptiMax
Not Your Typical Two-Stroke
Piston upstroke. Piston downstroke. Two simple strokes that deliver a powerful advantage. Mercury’s OptiMax line, the best-selling direct-injection two-stroke outboards on the market, is the culmination of years of technological innovation. From the outset our goal was to provide boaters with superior acceleration and top-end speed. All while delivering the clean, quiet, durable, and fuel-efficient qualities of a four-stroke. The results speak for themselves (very quietly).
Designed and engineered to combine the best of both worlds, OptiMax has the heart, soul, speed, and power you expect of a traditional two-stroke. But OptiMax’s proprietary two-stage injection system creates a remarkably concise combustion cycle – giving you the fuel conservation and lower emissions of a four-stroke. A win/win, win/win any way you shake it.
Superior Speed and Performance.
OptiMax consistently ranks first among direct-injection engines in holeshot, mid-range acceleration, and top-end speed. That winning consistent performance and unmatched throttle response is due to our Two-Stage Direct Injection System, which provides a constant supply of atomized fuel and air to make the most efficient use of fuel. Additionally, its outstanding power-to-weight ratio results in increased speed and holeshot, making OptiMax a superior engine for any type of boat.
Raw Power. Pure Efficiency.
Mercury pioneered direct fuel-injection technology with OptiMax. Ever since, these engines have set the bar to be the industry’s low-emission, high-performance leader. But it doesn’t end there. OptiMax is so fuel-efficient that it also beats most four-strokes. Thanks to its exclusive two-stage, direct-injection technology, it delivers the ultimate in efficiency, squeezing more miles and performance
from every drop of fuel.
The Best Deal Going.
OptiMax provides exactly what you need – from best-in-class fuel economy to unbeatable performance and leading corrosion resistance. The OptiMax lineup’s durability, reliability, and advanced direct-injected system make it a spectacular value.

Four-Stroke
Not your average four-stroke.
For nearly 20 years, we’ve been the world’s premier producer of four-stroke power. Why? Because no one offers a more advanced, more powerful array of four-stroke
outboards than Mercury. We’ve never been content producing basic, conventional four-stroke engines. Instead, we’ve pioneered and patented electronic fuel injection, and integrated it into our proven FourStroke workhorses. All to bring an entirely new level of performance to the four-stroke category.
