Mercury 300XXL Verado FourStroke Cold Fusion

On the 30-inch shaft offered within this Verado range, this used Mercury 300XXL Verado FourStroke runs the same 300 hp V8, built in with digital throttle and shift alongside electro-hydraulic power steering. Advanced Range Optimization adjusts fuel delivery at cruise automatically, without any change the operator would sense.

Why the longer shaft

Order this length over the shorter Verado in the same lineup only when your transom sits deeper, since shaft length is fixed once the engine leaves the factory. An advanced mid-section tames vibration from the powerhead, and that hardware contributes to a 600 lb dry weight.

Charging and the engine itself

This configuration's 115-amp alternator, with idle charge, covers the added electrical draw a base FourStroke in the same family would not need. The V8 underneath is still 4.6 liters at 279 cid, with 32 valves over its twin camshafts, a 5200-6000 rpm full-throttle ceiling, and a 1.75:1 gearcase.

Is a propeller included? No, match one separately to the boat.

What color is this unit? Confirm the exact finish with us before ordering, since this listing's details differ on that point.

Everything about fitment, rigging, and controls on this 30-inch Verado matches its siblings in the lineup regardless of which finish you end up with.

Sold used, so hours and maintenance history are worth confirming beforehand. This engine's coverage totals 5 years: a 3-year standard term, topped up by 2 further years under Product Protection Gold.
