Mercury 20MLH FourStroke Outboard Motor

Introducing the Mercury 20MLH FourStroke Outboard Motor – the perfect blend of power, reliability, and efficiency tailored for the diverse and often challenging marine environments of Australia and New Zealand. Whether you’re fishing the vibrant reefs of the Great Barrier Reef, cruising the scenic Auckland Harbour, or exploring remote coastal waters, the 20MLH delivers smooth, quiet performance that you can trust.

Powered by a 20 horsepower inline 2-cylinder engine with a displacement of 333cc, this lightweight powerhouse is the lightest in its category at just 99 lbs (dry weight), making it incredibly easy to handle and manoeuvre. Its 20-inch shaft length is versatile for a variety of boats, from small dinghies to lightweight fishing vessels, which are popular across the Australian and New Zealand coasts.

The Mercury 20MLH features advanced Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for seamless fuel delivery, ensuring quick starts, improved throttle response, and enhanced fuel efficiency – essential for longer outings on Australia’s expansive waterways or New Zealand’s coastal adventures. Coupled with a single overhead cam and CDI ignition with electronic spark advance, this motor provides responsive and reliable power across the full throttle range of 5700-6200 RPM.

Engine protection is paramount. The 20MLH is equipped with an operator warning system that monitors low oil pressure, over-revving, overheating, and sensor failure, giving you peace of mind while out at sea. The water-cooled system with thermostat ensures optimal engine temperature, even in warmer northern Australian waters.

Designed for ease of use, the motor comes with a tiller steering and manual trim system, enabling precise control whether you’re navigating tight harbour corners or adjusting quickly for shallow water inlets. The gear system includes forward, neutral, and reverse for versatile maneuverability.

Fuel economy and environmental responsibility go hand-in-hand, especially in regions with strict emission standards. With a CARB 3-star rating and recommendations to use 87 octane fuel with up to 10% ethanol, this outboard balances power with eco-friendly performance. Recommended oils include 25W-40 Synthetic Blend Mercury FC-W or 10W-30 4-Stroke Marine Oil for optimized engine life.

This model also includes a remote 3.2-gallon (12 L) fuel tank to keep your boat free of clutter and weight. Finished in sleek Phantom Black, the 20MLH looks as good as it performs.
