Mercury Verado 300HP CXL Outboard White

Painted in white, this CXL-spec Verado 300 pairs a 25-inch shaft with the counter-rotation option. What this horsepower class shares Horsepower climbs on this block, yet it is still 4.6 liters of V-8 four-stroke at 600 pounds. Throttle and gear changes on this engine are handled electronically, hydraulic assistance lightens the steering, vibration is isolated at the engine mounts, and the starter guards against overload. Full throttle RPM here is rated 5200 to 6000. Twin-engine and finish considerations Because counter rotation is available, pair it with an opposite-rotating unit if a twin installation is the plan. The cowl comes in cold fusion, warm fusion, and pearl fusion white; pick a shade based on hull color rather than performance, since the finish is cosmetic only. Inside the box sit mounting hardware, the owner's manual, and a tool kit. You'll need to source a propeller separately. How does this engine differ from a smaller V-8 Verado mechanically? Horsepower aside, shaft, steering, and mounting hardware are the same type across Mercury's V-8 Verados. What warranty applies? Mercury Marine's 3-year warranty. Does the 25-inch shaft suit most center consoles? It is a common length for mid-size boats, but confirm your own transom measurement before ordering. Is this engine tiller or remote steered? It uses power steering at the helm, not a tiller, consistent with the rest of the Verado line.
