Mercury 15EXLPT ProKicker FourStroke

This used Mercury 15EXLPT ProKicker FourStroke pairs a 25-inch extra-long shaft with remote steering and power tilt, making it a kicker-class 15 HP outboard built for mounting high on the transom of a boat that already runs a larger main engine.

What a ProKicker setup is for

A ProKicker model like this one is meant to idle a boat along at trolling speed while the main outboard stays off, which is why Mercury builds it with its own remote throttle and steering rather than tiller controls; those controls are sold separately, so confirm you have a compatible remote binnacle and cable run before ordering.

Fitment and trim notes

The 25-inch shaft is meant for a high-mount bracket, and power tilt lets you raise the kicker clear of the water when running on the main engine alone. Mercury lists this as the lightest motor in its weight category, which matters when adding a second outboard to an already-loaded transom. The alternator is rated for charging duty, so it can help maintain a trolling or accessory battery while the kicker idles.

Condition and coverage

This unit is sold used, so expect normal cosmetic wear from prior service; it is not being represented as new. Mercury's coverage on this model carries the standard warranty plus an additional Product Protection Gold plan, for five years of combined coverage from the purchase date.

What fuel does it use? Mercury recommends 87 octane fuel for this engine, with up to 10 percent ethanol content allowed.

Can I run it without the fuel tank shown? The remote tank options are listed as optional, so check which capacity suits your boat before ordering.
