The Mercury Racing 60R outboard is a brilliant performance solution for technical flats skiffs. This lightweight, compact outboard is a powerhouse tuned and geared to deliver amazing hole-shot acceleration for instant on-plane performance in skinny water. The proven 1.0L powerhead combines outstanding fuel economy with rugged reliability and quiet operation. Get Wide Open without compromise.
 
The Mercury Racing 60R fits perfectly on a 15-inch transom. Compared to competing 20-inch motors, the 60R offers a lower center of gravity for better boat handling and stability. It can accommodate a lower poling platform while eliminating the need for a jack plate or flared transom. The 4.25-inch diameter high-thrust gearcase accommodates a robust 2.33:1 gear ratio to handle up to 20 percent more prop blade area than a standard gearcase. Its shape also creates additional lift to further boost hole-shot performance and handling.
 
Pushing the WOT range to 6300 rpm maximizes top-end performance and enables more propping options.
 
Less weight is a critical performance advantage on compact angling skiffs. Less weight on the transom improves hole shot, boat handling and stability
