MERCRUISER earned the title of “world’s most popular sterndrive” because it delivers reliable performance in a value package. Reliable performance means more family fun year after year without missing a beat. Alpha drives slice through the water with an efficient hydrodynamic profile producing very little drag. And because of the Alpha drive’s many maintenance-free features – you’ll enjoy a worry-free ownership experience.

DIFFERENT BOATS. DIFFERENT POWER.
V-bottom boats work well with traditional outboards because the hull leaves behind relatively undisturbed water to be grabbed effectively by the engine’s prop. However, the twin tubes of a pontoon typically feed turbulent water toward the engine. Mercury's design and larger components overcome this challenge and deliver power when and where you need it.
