Mercury 300HP XL FourStroke Outboard DTS White

The Mercury 300HP XL FourStroke Outboard DTS White pairs digital throttle and shift control with three available white finishes.

Shaft and controls

DTS is an electronic rather than cable-operated throttle and shift system, needing a matching helm. This one carries Mercury's X-long shaft for the 300 horsepower range; get the precise measurement from us before you order, since the figure did not print cleanly for this particular unit.

Specifications

Electric start, electronic fuel injection, and a 527 lb dry weight describe the powerhead here; trim and tilt move electrically rather than by hand, since power trim is standard equipment.

Color, inclusions, and warranty

Three Mercury whites are available here: warm fusion, cold fusion, and pearl fusion. The crate holds mounting hardware, a basic tool kit, and the owner's handbook, with 3 years of Mercury coverage. No propeller ships with this engine; pick one to fit your boat before you head out.

Why pick a tone

The three white options perform identically; choosing one over another is about matching your hull, not performance.

Which white tone is most common on this model? Mercury does not rank them; choose by what matches your boat. Does the finish affect performance? No, color has no bearing on power or handling here. Is a DTS helm included? No, the helm and its wiring are a separate purchase from this engine, and must be compatible with Mercury's DTS protocol before it will shift properly.
