    Description

    2026 Mercury Marine Fourstroke 40hp EFI 4 Cylinder

    FourStroke 40-60 hp
    It’s simple. You have places to go, and the Mercury 40 to 60hp FourStroke family of outboards is the easiest way to get there. Electronic fuel injection for reliable starts and increased efficiency. Smooth performance. Impressive torque. Rugged durability. It’s everything you need to get more out of your time on the water.

    FourStroke Performance
    Powerful Torque

    A high-displacement powerhead generates serious low-end torque to easily power boats on plane. More torque requires less work from the engine, for a longer service life.

    Quick Acceleration
    The single-overhead-cam design delivers sporty acceleration and exciting overall performance from midrange through top speed. 

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

    SmartCraft® The Power to Do More
    Mercury SmartCraft® digital technologies refine the entire boating experience to ensure every day on the water reaches its full potential. From intelligent gauges and displays to advanced systems that make boat control easy, SmartCraft gives you the power to do more with your time on the water. 

    Gauges
    SmartCraft digital gauges are a convenient solution for staying in the know. They offer at-a-glance access to precise engine data and select SmartCraft controls on a compact digital interface.

    Displays
    With SmartCraft, you can integrate your engine with a compatible onboard display, gaining instant access to performance data and SmartCraft controls on the screen you use most.

    Controls
    Enjoy instantly responsive control and precise handling with Mercury digital control systems. Whether driving or docking, every task is made easier so you can take the helm with confidence.

    Features may include:

    Intuitive, Innovative Features
    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.
