The Mercury 40 SeaPro is built to work alongside you, providing dependable power and low running costs on a tight schedule. As part of the SeaPro 40–60hp lineup, this 40HP engine exemplifies reliability and efficiency. It features a high-displacement powerhead (nearly 1.0L) for its horsepower, meaning it runs effortlessly and is less strained – a key factor for longevity in professional service. The SeaPro 40 shares many of the rugged attributes of the larger 60HP, including the standard Command Thrust gearcase which improves handling and thrust. With its larger footprint and prop, the engine can push heavy loads and keep a boat steadily on plane at lower speed. Enhancements like a commercial-grade fuel pump, reinforced motor mounts, and durable coatings on all aluminum castings make this engine resilient in harsh conditions, including saltwater. Operational convenience isn’t sacrificed – manual or electric start versions are available, as well as tiller or remote steering setups to suit your specific needs. The EFI fuel system ensures quick, choke-free ignition and optimizes the mixture for minimal consumption. Thanks to its four-stroke design, the Mercury 40 SeaPro boasts significantly lower emissions and quieter operation than older two-strokes, making it an eco-friendly and operator-friendly solution. For businesses that need a compact yet tough engine that won’t quit, the Mercury 40 SeaPro is an investment in long-term reliability and efficiency.
