Mercury 65hp Jet Outboard | 65ELPT

The Mercury 65hp Jet Outboard | 65ELPT is a powerhouse engineered to elevate your boating experience across Australia’s and New Zealand’s diverse water environments. Designed specifically for navigating shallow and challenging waters where traditional outboards falter, this 65 horsepower jet outboard motor combines cutting-edge technology with rugged durability to ensure you reach your destination no matter the conditions.

Ideal for fishing trips on the Great Barrier Reef or cruising the scenic Auckland Harbour, the Mercury 65ELPT’s innovative jet drive system replaces the conventional gear case with a jet pump positioned flush with the boat’s bottom. This design enables exceptional shallow water operation without the risk of damage from submerged obstacles, giving anglers and boaters access to prime fishing spots and secluded waterways often inaccessible to standard outboard motors.

Powered by a robust 2.1L four-cylinder, inline four-stroke engine, this Mercury motor delivers smooth, responsive power with 65 horsepower. Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) with a computer-controlled multi-port system ensures optimal fuel efficiency and reliable starts every time—even in cold or humid conditions common in coastal Australia and New Zealand.

Performance is further enhanced by the stainless steel impeller, designed to resist wear from abrasive materials like sand and shells often found in coastal and estuarine bottoms. This feature extends the motor’s lifespan, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

The Mercury 65ELPT boasts a 20″ long shaft length and remote mechanical steering, giving operators precise control and maneuverability in tight or crowded waters. Complemented by power trim and tilt functionality, boaters can easily adjust the motor’s angle for improved fuel economy and smoother rides.

Safety and convenience are paramount, with standard features including an electric start system for easy ignition, a stop switch lanyard, and a comprehensive owner’s manual to simplify operation and upkeep. Mercury’s 3-year warranty offers peace of mind for owners investing in a motor known for reliability.
