With its 123cc powerhead, the Mercury Propane outboard offers impressive power by delivering a true 5hp on an alternative clean-burning fuel.
FourStroke Propane 5hp
The clean-burning Mercury 5hp Propane outboard was engineered for everywhere. It runs on the same propane tank used for your grill or can be operated on smaller “camp” propane canisters for the ultimate in portability. From your fishing boat at a remote outpost to the tender on your sailboat, a Mercury Propane outboard is optimized for convenience.
Intuitive, Innovative Features
Clean, Powerful Performance
Easy Operation
With a pressurized fuel system, there’s no fuel priming required, so you can be ready to go as soon as you connect the propane. And with manual choke, you’ll enjoy fast, easy starts, even when the engine is cold.
Portability & Convenience
Simple to install and lightweight, a portable Mercury Propane outboard lets you power your adventures with the same propane used for your grill, eliminating the need to haul gasoline. It’s perfect for keeping at a lake house or as secondary propulsion stored on board a larger vessel.
Secondary Power for Sailboats
The 5hp Propane outboard comes in a Sail Power model that features a longer shaft, a high-thrust prop to control larger boats and a 12-volt, 4-amp/50-watt alternator.
Safety Enhancements
The fuel hose connector threads quickly and easily to the outboard, while propane auto shut-off valves on the engine and in the fuel-hose connector enhance safety on the water.
FourStroke Performance
Explore Farther
A single 20-pound (5-gallon) propane tank can fuel the 5hp Propane outboard for approximately six hours at full throttle.
Eco-Friendly Performance
Mercury 5hp Propane outboards produce 25% lower exhaust emissions than comparable gasoline-powered outboards.
Light & Powerful
Enjoy true 5hp performance, all in a package that starts as light as 59.5 pounds – ideal for powering compact jon boats, inflatables and other small boats.
FourStroke Advantage
Comfort
With a balanced powerhead and sophisticated, vibration-dampening cowl design, Mercury FourStroke outboards deliver an exceptionally smooth and quiet ride at any speed.
Durability
Premium corrosion-preventive technologies and durable components ensure FourStroke outboards can stand up to the most demanding marine environments.
Compact Design
Ideal for new engine setups or repowers, the slender width of a Mercury FourStroke outboard fits most transoms, including those with narrow engine wells and tight motor spacing.
Efficiency
Explore farther and stay out longer thanks to impressive power-to-weight ratios, intelligent fuel systems and optimized fuel injection (on most models) that maximize performance from every drop of fuel.
