The Mercury F50 is engineered to deliver peak performance and refinement in the midrange outboard class. With its inline 4-cylinder 995cc engine, this 50HP runs exceptionally smoothly, virtually eliminating vibration at idle. The EFI system precisely meters fuel, resulting in quick starts, crisp throttle response, and optimal fuel burn. The Mercury 50HP has a well-earned reputation for reliability – many professional operators choose it for its longevity and easy maintenance. The engine weighs about 112 kg (for the long-shaft ELPT model) and comes standard with Power Trim & Tilt for convenience in operation and shallow water accessibility. For boats that demand extra thrust (e.g., heavy loaded decks or pulling water toys), Mercury offers a F50 Command Thrust version with a larger gearcase and prop that provide more push at lower speeds. The smart engine management system ensures smooth shifting and includes prop hub cushioning to protect against shock if the prop strikes an object. The Mercury F50 meets stringent emission and noise standards, meaning cleaner running and quiet enjoyment on the water. This 50HP is ideal for boats in the 5-6 meter range, offering a combination of speed (top speeds over 50 km/h on appropriate hulls) and comfort for long hours of cruising.
