Mercury 20HP 20MRC FourStroke Outboard

The 20HP 20MRC FourStroke pairs the short 15 inch shaft with remote controls and an electric starter, rather than the tiller-and-pull-start combination found on other versions of this same two-cylinder engine. Mercury lists it at 108 lbs, turning a 5700 to 6200 rpm full-throttle range on a three-blade aluminum prop sized 9.2 inch diameter, 9.1 inch pitch. Remote control, electric start Remote controls let you steer and throttle this motor from a console, and the electric starter means no pull-starting is needed, suited to boats already wired for console operation. The short shaft here fits a lower transom than the long-shaft versions sold under this same model line. Remote controls paired with electric start suit a console-style boat better than a tiller setup would, so check your existing layout before ordering. Ease into higher rpm gradually over the first several hours rather than running this motor flat out right away. What ships with it Along with the propeller above, this unit ships with an owner's handbook, a small tool kit, a quick-connect line, and a 3.2 gallon fuel tank. The 15 inch shaft fits a lower transom than the 20 inch versions of this motor sold elsewhere in the same lineup. How does it start? Electrically, with its own starter rather than a pull cord. Is this covered under warranty? Yes, this outboard, sold new, carries Mercury's 3-year warranty term.
