High-Output Alternator

An 18-amp alternator helps keep batteries charged and fishing electronics humming long into the evening bite.

Command Thrust Gearcase

Designed to sit lower in the water and turn larger props, the available Command Thrust gearcase lifts heavy boats on plane more easily and holds them there at lower speeds without impacting top speed.

Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)

From the moment you crank the engine to the moment you drop the throttle, EFI technology responds with instant power. Surefire starting in all weather conditions. Smooth, efficient acceleration. Maximum fun.

Convenient Maintenance

We made maintenance easier with features like color-coded touch points, an easy-access water-separating fuel filter and an oil filter drip tray, which helps you get the job done with less mess.

Tiller Handle

With a range of adjustments, ergonomic controls and the flexibility to be set up for left- or right-handed operation, the available advanced tiller puts you in complete command of your adventures.

Hard-Working Muscle

With an available Command Thrust gearcase and ample torque, 40 to 60hp outboards make easy work of moving heavily loaded boats.
