Mercury 60HP 60ELPT – Command Thrust 20in

Mercury 60HP 60ELPT Command Thrust Long Power

Featuring a 995cc four-cylinder engine family, the Mercury 60HP 60ELPT serves as a high-torque solution for US boaters requiring a prop-rated propulsion unit with superior thermal stability. This 60HP four-stroke technology utilizes a Command Thrust (CT) gearcase and a larger internal gear set to maximize mechanical efficiency and hole-shot performance for high-transom aluminum skiffs and heavy pontoons. The 20-inch long shaft design provides an optimized center of gravity, while the Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) and electric start ensure immediate, reliable ignition across diverse inland and coastal environments.

Operational longevity of the 60ELPT model is secured through a specialized pressurized lubrication system featuring a maintenance-free valve train to maintain internal cleanliness. To facilitate easy after-storage starts, the unit employs a sophisticated EFI system paired with an 18A alternator for accessory maintenance, while the Mercury XK360 alloy science utilizes a multi-layer finish to mitigate oxidation in high-salinity waters. With a 3-year/300-hour service interval and an oversized propeller footprint for added control, this fuel-efficient outboard provides superior ownership value for boaters seeking high-thrust performance and durability.
