Mercury 150HP CXL FourStroke Outboard

This new Mercury 150HP CXL FourStroke is a 150 HP, four-cylinder outboard with a 25-inch extra-long shaft, electric start, and remote mechanical steering, weighing 455 lb. Counter rotation is available on this model for twin-engine installations, and it ships with the owner's manual, mounting hardware, and a tool kit, though the propeller is not included.

What to check before buying

Because the propeller is sold separately, budget for one before this engine is ready to run, and match the pitch and diameter to your boat's weight and use rather than guessing. Confirm the 25-inch shaft fits your transom; this is the extra-long option, built for taller installations than Mercury's standard-length 150 HP motors. Full throttle on this 3.0-liter, EFI engine runs 5000 to 6000 RPM.

Coverage

This engine is covered by Mercury's three-year factory warranty from the date of purchase, and if a counter-rotation gearcase matters for your twin-engine setup, confirm that detail with us before ordering. Mechanical remote steering keeps the control hardware simple compared with hydraulic options sold on some of Mercury's other 150 HP engines.

Does this include a propeller? No, a propeller must be purchased separately to run this motor.

Is counter rotation standard or optional? It's available on this model, which matters mainly for twin-engine installations.

What does the mounting hardware cover? It's included alongside the owner's manual and tool kit; the propeller alone is the add-on buyers need to budget for.
