2013 Mercury FourStroke 150 HP

Fuel Efficiency

• 3.0L displacement delivers the powerful torque needed to launch your boat onto plane and provide responsive mid-range acceleration.
• A large 4.9" gearcase easily lifts heavy boats better than smaller gearcases found on competitive fourstrokes, significantly improving boat handling from slower cruising speeds to full throttle runs.
• An exceptional power-to-weight ratio means outstanding fuel economy and more on-water time between fill-ups.
• Belt-driven means less heat and weight.
• Fully regulated at 14.2 volts.
• Hard anodized for best-in-class corrosion protection.
• Provides power only when needed.

Performance

• A smaller compact design and a lighter weight reduces the overall package weight of the boat, which, depending on the hull, will improve performance and efficiency.
• Durability & Superior Performance - Higher displacement means less work from the engine to produce torque and horsepower. The new Mercury 150 hp FourStroke is built to develop loads of torque at a stress level that will ensure higher durability than any other 150 hp outboard. Higher displacement simply means more torque and horsepower. The higher the torque, the faster the holeshot and acceleration. And more power equals faster top speeds. The Mercury 150 FourStroke is the only 150 FourStroke to have a torque curve rivaling the strongest two-strokes.
• Some 3.0L outboards produce well over 250hp. This 3.0L Mercury FourStroke only needs to deliver 150hp, which means exceptional durability and long-term peace of mind.
• The lowest weight 150 FourStroke on the planet!
• The new 150hp FourStroke also features a robust 4.9" gearcase that uses larger, more durable components.
• The new Mercury 150hp FourStroke has almost 15 percent fewer parts than Suzuki's 150 Four-stroke and almost 18 percent fewer parts than Yamaha 150 hp Four-stroke engine.
• The new Mercury 150hp FourStroke is 454 lbs and is only 22 lbs heavier than the 150 OptiMax (at 432 lbs).
• This makes the new 150hp FourStroke a great fit not only for new boat packages, but also repower, even on older boats which could not handle the weight of heavier competitive 4-Strokes.
• Weight comparisons are based on competitors' published weights for 20" (L) models.
• What seems like magic is simply Mercury Marine doing what it does best - creating game-changing, incomparable engines that elevate boating to the next level.
• With nearly 10,000 hours of engineering and field testing, we made sure that this 150hp FourStroke is the world's most reliable outboard engine.

Reliability

• At a weight approaching that of a 2-Stroke, the new 150 FourStroke is the lightest of its kind, and will easily repower most older hulls not designed to accommodate the weight of competitive 150 4-Strokes.
• Exclusive MercFusion paint system features an Electro-Deposition Paint process, which electronically bonds paint to metal throughout the engine, even inside internal water passages.
• Flexible enough to accommodate mechanical or hydraulic steering, the Big Tiller system, mechanical control/cables, and a full complement of either analog or SmartCraft gauges - this new 150 FourStroke is equally suited to the most basic or the most sophisticated of repower jobs.
• Lowest copper content aluminum - Mercury XK360 is the most corrosion-resistant alloy on the market.
• Mercury's new 150 FourStroke has far less transom well interference and a lower profile making it easy to fish over and around, or to mount under tight-fitting engine wells.
• No-spill oil change system and easy-access fuel filter.
• QR code linking to videos, local dealers, and a Mercury-direct hotline.
• The only fourstroke available with a valve train that requires NO maintenance over the life of the engine.
• Waterproof electrical systems and connectors sit under a tightly sealed cowling system that uses a baffle to let air enter the cowl but forces water to drain out.

Sound Management

• Low pass acoustic filter to weaken high frequency exhaust noise at idle speeds
• Quiet operation at low speeds makes it easier to converse while in the boat or during a long day of trolling.
• Simple baffle design

STANDARD FEATURES

• An outboard that is fully tested in all conditions for all-around performance
• Best-in-class battery charging system for longer battery life
• Compact and lowest weight in design for better hull control
• Fewer moving parts for less friction and greater reliability
• Large displacement for "out of the hole" performance
• Mercury FourStroke technology for maximum fuel economy and smoothness
• More stainless steel components for longevity
• Quiet operation, making it easy to converse
• The most compact, lowest weight, most durable 150hp FourStroke outboard the world has ever seen. Extremely versatile in single or twin applications.
• The only outboard that comes with a 3-year corrosion warranty

Vibration ManagementSystem

• Higher durability and significantly reduced vibration mean a more pleasurable boating experience all around.
• Placing the mounts farther away from the powerhead significantly reduces mount temperature and increases mount durability. Angling the mounts significantly reduces vibration transmitted to the boat, at all points in the power band, but especially at transient points from a fast idle to where the boat is coming on plane.
• The Mercury 150hp FourStroke incorporates an exclusive and unique Focused Mount System which is 22 percent heavier and tougher than those found on competitive 150hp outboards.
• The upper mounts are at a much wider 45-degree angle from the engine's center of gravity and in a location where they can operate under ambient temperature conditions, rather than under the higher heat radiating from the immediate powerhead area.

Warranty

• 3-year industry-exclusive corrosion warranty.
• 3-year non-declining factory-backed warranty.
• A warranty that's supported by the strength and service expertise of one of the largest dealer networks in the country.
• Support from the largest network of authorized Mercury dealers.
