Mercury 8ELH FourStroke Outboard Motor

Dry weight is 94 lbs on this used Mercury 8ELH FourStroke, an 8 HP twin-cylinder motor on the long shaft, electric-started and tiller-controlled. Warranty on this unit Total protection on this unit reaches five years: Mercury's usual factory term, plus an added two-year Product Protection Gold plan from this seller. Specifications and condition notes The alternator on this SOHC twin puts out 76 watts at 6 amps, and the gearcase shifts at a 2.08:1 ratio. Having already been run by a prior owner, it shows the kind of cosmetic wear that comes with use, even though its CARB rating and fuel delivery haven't changed from the day it left the factory. A hand-adjusted ratcheting trim stands in for power tilt here, and a Phantom Black propeller is part of the package. A fuel stabilizer before winter storage helps keep a carbureted engine like this clean. Q: How does the warranty work on a used motor like this? It combines the standard term with the added Gold plan, five years total. Q: Is the long shaft right for my boat? It fits boats with a higher transom than a short-shaft hull needs — measure before ordering. Q: Does this one need power trim to adjust? No, a hand-adjusted ratcheting system handles tilt and trim angle on this particular unit. See other Mercury outboards at this horsepower.
