2022 Mercury Racing 60R Outboard Engine

The 2022 Mercury Racing 60R Outboard Engine is a 60 hp, four-cylinder, 1.0 liter powerhead built light and compact for shallow-water fishing rather than general-purpose cruising.

What it is for

Its 15 inch midsection is sized for shallow water, and a high-thrust gearcase running a 2.33:1 ratio is built for stronger torque and quicker hole-shot acceleration than a standard gearcase of similar horsepower, with a compact build meant to keep balance and control in skinny water.

Who it suits

Mercury markets this engine for skinny-water fishing rigs, flats skiffs, custom race builds, and other performance applications, where light weight and a short midsection matter more than top-end cruising comfort.

Specifications worth knowing

Horsepower is 60, the powerhead is 1.0 liter across four cylinders, the racing midsection measures 15 inches, gear ratio is 2.33:1, approximate weight is 260 lbs, and it runs on unleaded gasoline.

What to check before buying

Because this is a racing midsection rather than a standard recreational outboard, confirm your hull and rigging suit a 15 inch midsection and high-thrust gearcase before ordering.
