Details & Inspection Notes

Weighing 93 lbs, this 2018-build 8ELH (SKU 8ELH-18) runs Mercury's 8 HP twin-cylinder engine on the long shaft, paired with electric starting and tiller control.

Suited applications

Long-shaft 8 HP motors like this show up on small pontoons, skiffs, and jon boats riding higher off the water, plus sailboat auxiliary and kicker or trolling setups. One hand on the tiller manages F-N-R shifting, throttle with adjustable tension, steering, and the stop switch all together.

Specifications before you order

A 76-watt alternator handles charging on this build. No internal battery is fitted. The gearcase spins at a 2.08:1 ratio, and Mercury's auto-ratchet hardware adjusts tilt without separate tools. This unit carries Mercury's usual three-year factory coverage, dated from purchase. A rubber transom pad protects hull finish on boats without a built-in bracket.

Q: Does this model need an internal battery? No internal battery is built in; electric start draws on the boat's own 12-volt battery instead.

Q: Is tilt adjustment manual or powered? Manual, through Mercury's auto-ratchet hardware, with no powered trim motor on this build.

Q: Is the fuel system carbureted or injected? Carbureted — this engine does not use electronic fuel injection.

Q: What boats is the long shaft meant for? Pontoons, skiffs, and jon hulls that ride a bit taller at the stern, plus sailboat auxiliary duty.
