What is the difference between a regular outboard motor and a Mercury Jet-Drive Outboard Motor?
Mercury Jet-Drive Outboard Motors are specifically designed to pilot boats in shallow waters where propeller-driven hulls and traditional outboard motors are unable to operate. Because Mercury Jet-Drive Outboard Motors have no lower unit extending below the hull, boaters can navigate over obstacles that would restrict access to boats with a propeller-driven outboard motor.
Benefits of Mercury Jet-Drive Outboards
When the water’s too shallow for traditional outboard motors, turn to Mercury Jet Outboards:
- The engine’s gear case is replaced with a jet pump that sits even with the bottom of your boat.
- Designed for extreme shallow-water operation.
- Heart-racing acceleration.
- Excellent handing and top-speed maneuvering.
