Mercury 15HP 15MLH EFI Outboard

Mercury's 15HP 15MLH EFI Outboard pairs manual pull-cord starting with a 20-inch long shaft and tiller steering, and the complete motor weighs 107 pounds. Long shaft, manual start A 20-inch shaft like this one is built for a taller transom than the short-shaft manual-start version of the same 15 HP block, so confirm your boat's measurement before ordering rather than assuming one shaft fits every hull. Skipping electric start keeps this motor simpler, with no battery or starter wiring involved. Operating the tiller handle Everything needed for underway control, throttle, forward-neutral-reverse shifting, and steering, lives in the tiller rather than at a console, so the operator stays near the stern for the whole trip. This fuel-injected 15 HP engine settles into a steady idle once warm, even without electric start assistance. Storing it between trips A pull-cord outboard like this one is simple to store since there is no battery to keep charged; the main upkeep concern is fuel, since ethanol-blended gas left sitting for long stretches can gum up a carburetor or injector over time, so running fresh fuel through it periodically helps keep starting easy. Common questions What's included? A three-blade aluminum propeller, fuel tank and line, safety lanyard, tool kit, and owner's manual. Is there a warranty? Yes, Mercury Marine's standard three-year warranty covers this new motor.
