Verado 250-300hp

The smooth, refined power of a V-8 4.6-liter powerhead delivers exhilarating acceleration and top speed to run offshore with confidence, while its generous displacement and robust design provide uncompromising durability and reliability. The Mercury-exclusive Advanced MidSection (AMS) and under-cowl noise management set the standard for smooth, quiet marine propulsion. These exciting new V-8 Verado outboards are wrapped in crisp, bold styling that makes an unmistakable statement on any transom.

Intuitive, Innovative Features

Exceptionally smooth and quiet

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

Joystick piloting for outboards

The industry’s most advanced joystick piloting system makes manoeuvring in tight spaces as simple as nudging the joystick in 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.
