Mercury 50HP ELPT Four-stroke Outboard | Scratch & Dent Level 1 | 5357

Unit 5357, a Scratch & Dent Level 1 listing, is Mercury's 50HP ELPT four-stroke at a listed 247 lbs on the 20-inch long shaft, sold new despite the cosmetic grade.

Power and handling

A 60.8 displacement rating puts the EFI-fed full-throttle range at 5000-6000 RPM. The running angle adjusts electrically from the console rather than by hand, and the starter is onboard and electric, not a recoil pull-start. Steering ties into a remote, cable-driven setup, so plan for matching helm hardware rather than a tiller arm, since this motor is not meant to be steered by hand at the transom.

Condition notes

Scratch & Dent Level 1 flags cosmetic condition only; the listing treats this as new equipment, not used or refurbished, and backs it with Mercury Marine's 3-year warranty term. Ask the seller for photos of this specific unit if the exact blemish location matters to your decision before you buy it sight unseen, and inspect the crate for transit damage on arrival so it is not confused with the original cosmetic grade.

Who this fits

A 50 HP motor at this weight suits mid-size aluminum and fiberglass boats running a console rather than a tiller arm, where the savings on a cosmetic-grade unit matter more than a flawless cowl.

Common questions

What's included? An owner's manual, a tool kit, mounting hardware, and a quick-connect fuel line ship with unit 5357; a propeller does not.
