Mercury 15HP 15EXLPT ProKicker EFI Outboard

The Mercury 15HP 15EXLPT ProKicker EFI Outboard shares its 25-inch extra-long shaft, remote throttle control, electric start, and 114-pound weight with Mercury's other XL ProKicker variant, but it ships with a standard three-blade aluminum propeller instead of a high-thrust wheel.

Why the propeller choice matters here

A standard three-blade aluminum prop is a general-purpose wheel, giving reasonable thrust across a range of speeds rather than being tuned specifically for the slow, steady push that trolling calls for. If you plan to run this kicker mainly at low speed for extended periods, weigh that against a high-thrust propeller before deciding this configuration is the right one for your boat.

Fitment

The 25-inch shaft length is built for a kicker bracket mounted well above the waterline, the same depth as Mercury's other extra-long ProKicker offerings. Remote throttle control means this motor pairs with a console-mounted lever rather than a tiller handle, so confirm your boat is wired for that before ordering.

Swapping propellers later

Because the standard prop here is a general-purpose wheel rather than one tuned for trolling, some owners later add a dedicated high-thrust propeller once they know how they actually use the kicker; that is a straightforward swap on most outboards and does not require changing anything else about the motor.

Common questions

Is the propeller included? Yes, a standard three-blade aluminum propeller ships with this new motor.
