Mercury F60 EFI 60HP – Powerful 4 Cylinder Outboard for 5 6.5m Boats

The Mercury F60 EFI is the pinnacle of Mercury’s compact outboard range, delivering 60HP from a robust 995cc inline 4-cylinder engine. This four-stroke motor features Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for surefire starts in all weather and smooth, responsive throttle performance. With its high-displacement powerhead, the F60 generates impressive torque in the mid-RPM range – this means faster acceleration onto plane and the ability to hold heavier 5 to 6.5 meter boats on plane at cruise speeds with ease. Despite its power, the F60 runs exceptionally quiet and smooth thanks to Mercury’s advanced acoustics and low-vibration design, making your boating experience more enjoyable.

Mercury F60 comes equipped with power trim and tilt, allowing you to easily adjust the engine’s angle for optimal performance, shallow-water operation, or trailering. The engine’s lightweight design (around 112 kg) and balanced powerhead minimize transom weight while maximizing stability. An optional Command Thrust version is available for those who need extra thrust: it uses a larger gearcase and propeller to provide greater thrust and improved steering control, especially useful for heavier boats or watersports activities like skiing and tubing. At idle, the F60 is very quiet, and at full throttle it delivers strong performance with outstanding fuel efficiency – you’ll spend less time at the fuel dock and more time on the water.

Built for durability, the Mercury F60 features a freshwater flushing system for easy maintenance, a pressurized lubrication system with warnings for low oil pressure, and Mercury’s legendary corrosion protection (multi-layer paint and stainless components) to ensure long life in both freshwater and saltwater. This engine is SmartCraft compatible, meaning you can connect it to Mercury digital gauges and vessel management systems for real-time engine data and optimal control. The Mercury F60 is a versatile 60HP outboard that suits a wide range of applications – from powering family runabouts and RIBs to serving as a reliable workhorse for commercial or fishing boats that demand a balance of power and efficiency.

Use Cases & Recommendations:
– Perfect choice for medium-sized fiberglass or RIB boats (5–6.5 m) needing maximum power with minimal weight
– Excellent for watersports (water-skiing, wakeboarding, tubing) and heavily loaded boats when equipped with Command Thrust for extra thrust
– Ideal for family leisure boats and fishing vessels, providing a quiet and fuel-efficient ride for trolling or cruising
– Suitable for both freshwater and saltwater use, with robust corrosion protection for coastal boating
– A top pick for boaters who require high performance and reliability, backed by Mercury’s extensive dealer service network
