Mercury 150 HP EFI
4 reviews
Great when it runs – Easy on gas no doubt, however two times now this “dependable” motor has quit on us. My fault though...I had a 200hp Mercury 2 stroke that wasn’t dependable either. Live and learn.

Top quality Marine engine – I have just clocked 380hrs & my 150hp Mercury EFI 2009 model is running strong & reliable like day1, Yes they are a little thirsty but they are very powerful so can't expect them to be super economical, very low maintanence engines, I change the gearbox oil every season & fit a new water impeller kit every couple years for preventative maintainence & off she goes

Lots of grunt – Bought this new in 2013 to replace an old carby Merc 150 hp on a Haines cannot compare the two in any way at all, lots more power than the old school outboards. Lots of power from down low, much stronger top end power than a 4 stroke better on fuel but not super economical, but for the price I don't care Great outboard for skiing ect

Legend – Tough and powerful, I had one of these on a 5.2 Haines half cab and it was bulletproof. Very grunty engine with nice top speed sound, over 850hrs with just regular maintenance. Fuel economy ok but 4 stroke would be better, also, louder than 4 stroke. For the money its hard to go past this well proven design. Instant power & top speed, reliability and V6 'Howl' Bit on thirsty side, wasn't 200hp.
