Mercury's SeaPro range gets commercial support
Designed for commercial use, the Mercury SeaPro range boasts triple the recreational boating durability ratingMercury Marine says its expanded range of commercially-rated SeaPro FourStroke outboard engines is finding increasing favour with operators seeking high-hour applications and the ability to withstand harsh marine environments.
The big American outboard maker cites the recent willingness of boat-towing organisation TowBoatUS to switch to SeaPro as evidence that more operators are switching to its commercial outboard range. TowBoatUS operates more than 600 boats in the States.
Mercury’s new 40hp and 60hp SeaPro FourStroke engines complement the current 75, 90, 115, and 150hp SeaPro FourStroke engines that were released in 2015 and have accumulated thousands of hours in commercial markets around the world.
"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," said Marty Bass, president of Mercury Marine Europe, Middle East and Africa.
With robust high displacement and lightweight design, the SeaPros are said to deliver the performance required by commercial users by being 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).
