Verado
Boating choices were once black and white: four-stroke engines boasted advanced technology and reliability, but couldn’t equal the acceleration of traditional two-strokes. Mercury, driven by a history of innovation, set out to manufacture a FourStroke engine that would deliver performance and reliability with an automotive-like driving experience. Verado, the world’s only supercharged production outboard engine, provides all that and more. The future of outboards is here today.
No outboard delivers quicker throttle response, better automotive-like control, easier steering, quieter operation or smoother shifting than Verado. Here’s a firsthand look at the innovation and technology that made the ultimate driving experience a reality.
Nothing’s Quieter
The Verado multichambered Intake Sound Attenuator not only reduces overall noise by up to 14 decibels, it also tunes the engine sound to a more pleasing tone. Additionally, acoustic foam lining along the upper cowling and lower cowl absorbs high frequency engine and driveshaft noise, resulting in Verado’s best-in-class sound rating.
SMOOTHEST RIDE
Verado inherently runs smoother than conventional V-block outboard engines thanks to its Inline Design. An inline six-cylinder engine is better balanced because the cylinders are aligned in one row, providing a smoother-running, more compact design.
PRECISE STEERING
Verado’s exclusive Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering system eliminates steering torque while delivering a precise steering feel.
VIRTUALLY VIBRATION-FREE
Not only are the Verado Perimeter Engine Mounts twice the size of typical mounts, the innovative positioning around the powerhead virtually eliminates engine-related boat vibration.
ULTIMATE CONTROL
The SmartCraft® Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) System delivers automotive-like control, instant throttle response and smooth shifting by eliminating the hesitation of traditional mechanical cable systems. More than 50,000 hours of testing and four years of consumer use make DTS the most rigorously proven control system on the water.
AWESOME TORQUE LEVELS
SmartCraft delivers excellent control and confidence for marine systems, especially when it comes to fuel management. SmartCraft provides up-to-the second information on fuel range, fuel levels and fuel flow, ensuring accurate and dependable fuel information for improved efficiency.
Reliability: Out here, it’s everything.
There is never a time on the water when you don’t rely on your engine. That’s why we made sure Verado delivers the strength, toughness and durability you demand.
UNMATCHED WARRANTY COVERAGE
Every Verado comes with a three-year limited factory-backed, nondeclining warranty. In addition to this confidence-building coverage, Verado features the industry’s only three-year limited corrosion failure warranty. What does that mean to you? Factory-direct support for total peace of mind.
SUPERIOR CORROSION PROTECTION
Salt demands more. That’s why Mercury uses more stainless steel components than our competitors, as well as our exclusive low-copper XK 360 aluminum alloy that provides industry-leading protection against saltwater corrosion. In addition, the Verado supercharger features a marine-grade anodized aluminum housing and Teflon®-coated rotors. To top it all off, Verado is equipped with protective sacrificial anodes for superior protection at every level.
