Mercury launches new 135hp FourStroke
Mercury Marine expands its FourStroke family with the release of its new 3.0L 135hp outboardMercury says that its new 135hp FourStoke EFI outboars is designed to provide reliability and durability, no matter what is thrown at it, while delivering good performance and outstanding fuel efficiency.
"We’ve developed this model specifically from the feedback given to us by Australian and New Zealand consumers and dealers," said Nicholas Webb, Director of Engines and Marketing, Mercury Marine ANZP.
"They love our latest generation high-cubic-capacity, low-weight FourStrokes and wanted the same technology to fit to 135 and 140hp rated boat transoms. It’s exciting just how competitive this model is, with its 3.0-litre capacity going competitor Four Strokes at just 1.8-litre or 2.0-litre. Customers are definitely going to be impressed by the refinement and performance characteristics of this engine. It’s every bit as good as its FourStroke siblings.”
Webb said that the compact 135hp FourStroke EFI has a 3.0-litre, four-cylinder in-line configuration, is low weight, has fewer moving parts, and has been designed to be reliable and durable.
Its 4.9 inch (12.5cm) gearcase housing is built to handle higher horsepower, but thanks to its ultra-efficient hydrodynamics this larger housing doesn’t increase drag.
We're told that the 135 has a maintenance free valve train for life.
Like many of Mercury’s latest FourStroke models, the new 135hp FourStroke EFI can be rigged with the full suite of Mercury SmartCraft gauges and Mercury’s innovative BigTiller system.
"Like the 150 before it, this is an engine which has it all – reliability, smooth operation, a great torque curve, low weight, compact size and excellent fuel economy," said Webb.
