Mercury 60EXLPT Command Thrust FourStroke

This used Mercury 60EXLPT outboard carries the 25-inch x-long shaft and remote steering, with electric start. This unit's paperwork from Mercury gives the gearcase as standard rather than Command Thrust, despite the Command Thrust reference in the model name; confirm that detail with us before ordering if it matters for your propeller.

What's under the hood

Power comes from an inline-4, single-overhead-cam design. The CID/CC figure Mercury gives is 60.8/995. Full throttle runs 5500 to 6000 rpm, dry weight is 247 lbs, and alternator output is 18 amps, 226 watts. Shallow water trim range is 20 degrees, with an optional remote fuel tank connection.

Fit and coverage

A 25-inch shaft calls for a taller transom than the standard-length version of this motor uses; measure before ordering. This engine wants 87-octane fuel at minimum, up to 10 percent ethanol, running on Mercury's FourStroke 25W-40 oil, and it carries a 3-year warranty. A used motor's hours are unit-specific; reach out before ordering if that detail matters to you.

Does the longer shaft affect the gearcase question above? No, shaft length and gearcase type are separate specifications; this unit's gearcase is standard regardless of shaft length.

Is a remote fuel tank connection available on this engine? Yes, Mercury lists that as an optional hookup for this model. Mercury outboards
