Mercury 300HP CXL FourStroke Outboard DTS White

The Mercury 300HP CXL FourStroke Outboard DTS White is a new V8 finished in white, rigged for digital throttle and shift, with counter rotation offered for twin-engine installations.

Shaft and controls

This model uses an electronic DTS system rather than a cable-operated remote or tiller, so plan on a matching DTS helm rather than wiring in a mechanical control box. The shaft is Mercury's X-long length for this 300 horsepower range; confirm the exact figure with us before ordering, since that detail did not come through cleanly on this unit.

Specifications

Dry weight here is 527 lbs, electric start is standard, and fuel delivery runs through electronic injection. Switch-controlled power trim and tilt ships with the engine, saving you from manually trimming a motor this heavy. Counter rotation suits the second engine in a paired install, letting the props on each side spin opposite directions.

Included and warranty

A tool kit and mounting hardware come with the paperwork, under Mercury's 3-year coverage for this engine. As elsewhere in this range, the propeller is not bundled with this engine; pick one sized to your boat and typical load before you order.

What does the white finish change? Just the color; mechanically this is the same DTS-equipped 300 horsepower V8 as the rest of the CXL line. Is a propeller included? No. Can a tiller be added later? No, DTS-rigged engines are not set up for tiller conversion.
