V8 Verado Performance Data

Refined Power

V8 Verado outboards generate ample torque from class-leading 4.6L displacement, making easy work of powering your boat out of the hole and on plane, while delivering instant throttle response.

Quiet & Smooth

From idle to cruise to wide-open throttle, V8 Verado outboards are quieter than all other outboards in class.

Exceptional Fuel Economy

Verado outboards are calibrated to deliver full performance on 87-octane fuel, with a host of efficiency-enhancing features such as a hydrodynamic gearcase, closed-loop fuel system and Advanced Range Optimization (ARO) that help extend your range on the wate

Verado Advantage

Comfort

The Mercury-exclusive Advanced MidSection (AMS) isolates the powerhead to deliver a smoother, quieter ride than ever before. It’s comfort in a class of its own.

Easy Maintenance

An easy-access door on the top cowl takes the hassle out of routine engine oil checks and fills. Plus, all service points are color-coded to make each task simpler.

Durability

Premium corrosion-preventive technologies and heavy-duty components ensure Verado outboards can stand up to the most demanding marine environments.

Efficiency

Verado outboards deliver superior mpg across every rpm thanks to a host of efficiency-enhancing features that optimize fuel economy. 

SmartCraft® The Power to Do More

Mercury SmartCraft® digital technologies refine the entire boating experience to ensure every day on the water reaches its full potential. From intelligent gauges and displays to advanced systems that make boat control easy, SmartCraft gives you the power to do more with your time on the water. 

SmartCraft compatibility is available for Mercury engines 2004 and newer, 40hp and above; 2022 and newer, 25hp and above. Features vary based on controls and engine models.

Gauges

SmartCraft digital gauges are a convenient solution for staying in the know. They offer at-a-glance access to precise engine data and select SmartCraft controls on a compact digital interface

Displays

With SmartCraft, you can integrate your engine with a compatible onboard display, gaining instant access to performance data and SmartCraft controls on the screen you use most.

Controls

Enjoy instantly responsive control and precise handling with Mercury digital control systems. Whether driving or docking, every task is made easier so you can take the helm with confidence. 

Connectivity

The Mercury Marine app is the ultimate boating companion. It transforms your mobile device into a hub for monitoring data, connecting with a dealer and viewing helpful content.

Features may include:

Exceptionally Smooth & Quiet

The rugged Advanced MidSection (AMS) mounting system cradles the powerhead to isolate vibration, while expert tuning minimizes engine noise and optimizes the sound quality for a more enjoyable boating experience.

Joystick Piloting for Outboards

The industry’s most advanced Joystick Piloting system makes maneuvering in tight spaces as simple as nudging the joystick whichever direction you want the boat to go. The SmartCraft system takes it from there, providing unparalleled low-speed control for easy, confident docking.

Advanced Sound Control

Choose the sound that moves you with the industry-exclusive Advanced Sound Control feature. It lets you toggle between a whisper-quiet exhaust tone or a throatier growl at startup and idle, for those times you truly want to hear the horsepower.

Effortless Operation

Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) controls deliver smooth, quiet shifting and instant throttle response, with zero hesitation. You can further enhance handling and performance with available Electric Steering for multi-engine boats. Whisper-quiet and ultra-responsive, the system consumes less than half the electrical power as electro-hydraulic steering. (Single-engine Electric Steering coming later this year.)

Adaptive Speed Control

The Adaptive Speed Control (ASC) feature lets you maintain engine rpm despite changes in load or conditions. Climbing large swells is easier. Cruising at low speeds is smoother. Carving out tight turns is effortless. You just point the bow toward your destination, and Verado takes it from there.
