Mercury 5MXLH 5HP Outboard – 25in Shaft, Tiller

Description

Deploy the ultra-long, 123cc Mercury 5MXLH to eradicate thrust loss on towering sailboat transoms. The single-cylinder block forces steady low-end torque, pushing heavily loaded displacement hulls upstream against morning river currents. Verifying your auxiliary bracket height guarantees this 25 inch shaft portable outboard motor mounts safely without starving the water pump.

Clear underwater debris safely in shallow creeks by utilizing the manual tilt bracket as a direct physical fix. You simply grab the rear cowl grip to let the 29 kg gearcase pivot upward instantly without physical strain. Mercury casts the lower unit using corrosion-resistant marine aluminum. This physical barrier stops galvanic decay when repowering high-transom sailboats in brackish water.

Key Features of Mercury 5MXLH

• 25-Inch Extra-Long Shaft: Reaches incredibly deep beneath towering sailboat auxiliary brackets, preventing water pump starvation in heavy ocean chop.
• Integrated Fuel Tank: Eliminates external gas tanks and heavy fuel lines completely, freeing up critical cockpit space on small displacement vessels.
• Manual Recoil Starting: Strips heavy starter motors and battery cables completely from your boat, maximizing available gear payload capacity.
• Multi-Function Tiller Handle: Concentrates shift and throttle inputs directly into your operating hand for immediate physical obstacle avoidance.
• Manual Tilt Bracket: Features a rigid mechanical lock, safely holding the gearcase out of the water physically while moored at the dock.
• 29 Kilogram Dry Weight: Keeps the transom weight incredibly low, preventing the stern from dragging excessively on small displacement sailboats.
• 123cc Four-Stroke Block: Produces smooth low-end torque internally, lifting heavy aluminum work boats and large tenders effortlessly.
• Through-Prop Exhaust: Channels toxic combustion gases directly underwater, keeping the aft operator station completely free of smoke.
• Accessible Oil Drain: Simplifies routine crankcase lubrication changes, saving significant time during seasonal maintenance prep without specialized tools.
• Clean Four-Stroke Combustion: Burns unleaded fuel highly efficiently without messy two-stroke oil mixing, keeping pristine anchorages completely free of surface oil slicks.

Why Choose Mercury 5MXLH

This specific build fits only 25-inch transoms requiring direct physical tiller control. The extra-long shaft creates massive drag if mounted on a standard 15-inch boat. You cannot wire this to a forward console steering wheel. Procuring a reliable manual start extra long shaft outboard secures off-grid independence.

• Confirm a 25-inch vertical measurement from the transom top to the keel.
• Verify the tiller handle sweep path clears your rear bench seating completely.
• Avoid oil slicks on the water utilizing modern four-stroke internal lubrication.

Ideal Application and Vessel Fitment

This 25-inch manual-start tiller engine is engineered specifically for tall-transom sailboats, heavy displacement tenders, and commercial river-running hulls demanding massive shaft reach. By stripping away heavy electric starter motors, operators gain maximum payload capacity for remote area fishing gear. The specialized extra-long midsection guarantees this 5 hp long shaft tiller outboard maintains propeller bite in steep ocean swells, making it the ultimate off-grid auxiliary power plant for rugged coastal exploration.

Warranty, Support and Maintenance

Authorized recreational operation receives a 3-Year Limited Warranty alongside a 3-Year Corrosion Warranty. Registered commercial applications fall under a strict 1-Year Limited Warranty with zero corrosion coverage applied to the block. Scheduled maintenance requires replacing gearcase lubricants and changing oil filters at manual-specified intervals. Always save all physical service records. Your engine serial number acts as the only way to source exact genuine replacement parts. Mulmotor provides product-information support before purchase and assistance with order-related questions.
