SeaPro engines, with robust high displacement and
lightweight design, deliver the performance required by commercial users and
are validated to three times the engine durability of recreational engines.
The new SeaPro engines also feature several engine improvements to increase
durability and reliability including a commercial grade fuel pump, flywheel
magnet retainer, more durable upper mounts, stainless steel thermostat, and an
improved gas assist trim cylinder (on select models).

"Mercury’s latest SeaPro FourStroke outboard engine
introduction enhances Mercury’s commitment to developing the most durable, most
reliable four-stroke outboards for commercial applications," said Marty Bass,
vice president of Mercury category management. "With SeaPro we have not simply
re-calibrated our existing product, we have made upgrades to enhance durability
and performance and then tested those upgrades to withstand the harshest
environments.

Along with Mercury’s exclusive multi-step paint process,
the 40hp and 60hp SeaPro FourStroke engines come standard with an anodized
driveshaft housing, further decreasing the opportunity for corrosion and
improving performance and life in harsh saltwater environments.

Mercury’s larger Command Thrust gearcase, which creates a
bigger footprint in the water and provides more leverage to control the boat,
is standard on the new 40hp and 60hp SeaPro models. Its larger torpedo,
combined with a bigger-diameter prop, can lift a heavy boat onto plane more
easily and hold it there at lower speeds without impacting top speed. The
gearcase oil drain is in the torpedo, further simplifying gearcase oil changes
on the beach or in the shop.

All SeaPro models feature an extended commercial warranty
compared to standard engines and are backed by the best service network in the
industry. A pictorial owner’s manual and pictorial under-cowl maintenance decal
