Diesel advantages

Easy ownership

Top-mounted fluid reservoirs, a self-draining oil filter and an easy-to-reach oil dipstick keep maintenance and service simple. Plus the support of Marine Works Premier Mercury Service Centre team.

Reduced weight

With exceptional power-to-weight ratios, Mercury diesel engines pack big-time propulsion in a lightweight package. The difference: quicker acceleration, faster planing, and easier handling.

Durability

Durability and reliability are in the details, like thermostatically controlled closed-cooling systems and advanced corrosion resistance. Our diesel engines are designed to go the distance.

Efficiency

Mercury Diesel engines run clean and run easy, without the harshness or fumes from traditional diesels. They can also deliver up to 50% better fuel efficiency compared to gas engines of the same horsepower. 

A MerCruiser diesel is more than just a powerful, versatile engine you can count on. A diesel sterndrive unlocks the freedom of open water. From fuel-injection systems that virtually eliminate noise and harshness to features that simplify maintenance, you'll enjoy a diesel experience like no other. Everything about a Mercury diesel engine is built for life on the water.

Advanced turbocharging and injection technologies are precisely calibrated for marine performance, making easy work of moving large boats. Lightweight sterndrive designs further boost efficiency so you can venture farther and stay out longer. There are Mercury diesel engines available to power an array of boats and propulsion systems, all backed by Marine Work's Premier Mercury Service Centre. 

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.

Digital Throttle & Shift

Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) controls deliver silky-smooth shifting and instant throttle response, with zero hesitation. Integrated controls for selecting SmartCraft technologies make boating even easier.

Joystick Piloting for outboards

Intuitive joystick controls provide digital anchoring at the touch of a button and 360 ̊ manoeuvrability in tight spaces when you need it most. In open water, the Auto Heading and Route features let you lock in your course for simplified control.

Active Trim

With just a push of a button, Active Trim automatically optimises trim levels, adapting on the fly to turns, hole shots and water conditions to ensure smooth, efficient trips.

VesselView

VesselView® displays transform the helm of the boat into the ultimate command centre by linking together the Mercury propulsion system with compatible onboard accessories. You can monitor engine data, control SmartCraft digital technologies, view charts and sonar, and even operate onboard entertainment systems all from one intuitive touchscreen interface.
