Mercury 60ELHPT Command Thrust FourStroke

The Mercury 60ELHPT Command Thrust FourStroke outboard motor sets a new standard for reliability, power, and efficiency in the 60 horsepower category. Designed specifically to meet the demanding conditions of Australian and New Zealand waters, this engine guarantees exceptional performance whether you’re fishing the pristine waters of the Great Barrier Reef or cruising the stunning Auckland Harbour.

Built with a robust Inline 4-cylinder engine featuring 2 valves per cylinder and a single overhead cam (SOHC), the Mercury 60ELHPT delivers smooth and responsive power with a displacement of 995cc (60.8 CID). Its performance-tuned scroll intake manifold ensures optimal air induction, enhancing fuel efficiency and combustion. The engine’s electronic fuel injection (EFI) system provides precise fuel delivery, leading to reduced emissions and better throttle response, compliant with the rigorous CARB 3-star rating.

One of the standout features is the Command Thrust gearcase offering a gear ratio of 2.33:1, which improves low-end torque and thrust – ideal for heavy boats and pushing through challenging water conditions like tidal currents or shallow bays common in the region. With a shaft length of 20 inches and a light dry weight of just 247 lbs, this motor is versatile and suitable for a wide range of vessels from small commercial boats to recreational fishing rigs.

The Mercury 60ELHPT includes advanced technologies such as the SmartCraft Engine Guardian, an operator warning system that protects your engine by alerting you to potential issues before they become serious. Compatibility with SmartCraft digital technology (DTS) enables you to monitor and manage your outboard’s performance more easily, making it a great fit for tech-savvy boaters looking to optimise their marine experience.

Starting is effortless with the electric turn-key system, while mechanical throttle and shift controls (sold separately) offer the simplicity and reliability demanded by fishermen and boaters in AU/NZ. The new advanced tiller steering system provides enhanced control and comfort, allowing for precision handling even in rough waters.

Additional premium features include power trim for easy adjustment of the motor angle, a wet sump lubrication system for durable engine life, and a water-cooled system with thermostat for ideal temperature regulation. The exhaust system is routed through the propeller hub (through-prop), reducing noise and emissions to create a smoother, quieter boating experience.

Mercury, a brand synonymous with quality and innovation, has been a trusted name in marine engines for decades. Their commitment to rigorous testing and durability means you can rely on your Mercury outboard to perform day after day, season after season. Backed by an exclusive 5-year factory-backed limited coverage – including a 3-year standard warranty plus a 2-year Mercury Product Protection Gold plan – this outboard offers unbeatable peace of mind.
