Wednesday, 19 March 2008
New 20hp FourStroke.Mercury Marine has extended is impressive FourStroke outboard lineup with the introduction of an all-new 20hp model.
While weighing in at only 53kgs, the new 20hp machine still boasts plenty of power with its 351cc displacement.
“This is an engine which delivers top performance in a fully-featured yet lightweight and portable package,” said Mercury’s Product Director for Outboards, Ken Evans.
“Our FourStrokes have long led the pack in clean, quiet, fuel-efficient outboard power, and our new 20hp model is no exception.”
Importantly, with fuel prices getting higher and higher, Mercury Marine's FourStroke technology has been proven to consume 40% less fuel across the board which translates to extraordinary savings.
A 3-star VELS rating means the engine is also environmentally friendly with ultra-low emissions.
The new 20hp FourStroke is available with a multi-function tiller featuring Mercury’s exclusive shift-in-handle design as well as providing control of steering, throttle, throttle friction and stop controls for convenient one-hand operation.
The new manual trim models include, for conveyance and safety, automatic reverse hooks. Power tilt models are available in 38cm and 50cm (15 and 20 inch) shaft lengths for added versatility. The outboard is offered in manual or electric start, with the electric start models equipped with a manual-starter for added safety and peace of mind.
Along with super-quiet performance, thanks to a through-prop exhaust which buries exhaust noise underwater, the engine also features a unique engine mounting system that reduces vibration which together make Mercury’s new 20hp FourStroke incredibly user friendly.
