Mercury 50HP ELHPT FourStroke Outboard

This new Mercury 50HP ELHPT FourStroke Outboard pairs electric start with Mercury's new advanced tiller, on a 20-inch long shaft, built as a step up in power while keeping the tiller-handle layout buyers expect from this part of Mercury's lineup.

What a buyer gets at 50 horsepower

Displacement is 60.8 cubic inches, and full throttle runs 5000 to 6000 rpm, fed by electronic fuel injection rather than a carburetor. Power trim and tilt is standard, letting the operator raise and lower the motor electrically rather than by hand at the transom, and the new advanced tiller keeps throttle, shift, and trim controls together at one handle instead of spread across separate levers. Dry weight is 247 pounds, something to account for when sizing a hoist or checking transom-rated capacity.

Setup and what is included

The 20-inch long shaft suits a standard transom height; confirm your boat's transom measurement with us before ordering if you are not certain, since shaft length is not something to guess at. Owner's manual, mounting bolts, and a compact set of tools ride along in Mercury's box, together with the piece needed to connect a fuel line, though the propeller is not included and should be matched separately to this motor and your boat. This outboard carries Mercury Marine's three-year warranty. Because it ships new rather than used, there is no running history to review, so the things worth confirming are the ones that do not show up on a spec sheet: that the transom height matches this long shaft, and that your existing fuel line and tank will connect to the fitting Mercury supplies.
