REPOWER

We are pleased to offer you the most aggressive pricing in the industry on all Mercury outboard motors. Tiller handle models 25HP and below can be shipped to your door or place of business for lower than you think due to large volume rates with our shippers. Call today to purchase your new Mercury outboard and we will ship it out the same day! Call 954-926-5250 to order portable Mercury outboards.

Larger Mercury Outboards (over 25HP) must be installed by at our facility by one of our certified Mercury technicians. We offer free pick-up and delivery for all of our customers in the South Florida region, and we offer competitive pricing on installation. Call 954-926-5250 to order large Mercury outboards.

 

Nautical Ventures is your official Mercury outboard motor engines headquarters for South Florida. We’ve been helping boaters in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Dania Beach and Palm Beach stay on the water with trouble-free enjoyment for over 30 years.

 

Proven Technology.

More than a decade of reliable Mercury® OptiMax® performance is testimony to a great design. Low-pressure Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) delivery, corrosion-resistant alloys and finishes, and rugged components keep Mercury OptiMax outboards on the water, season upon season.

 

Fuel Economy.

Atomized fuel is injected directly into each combustion chamber, backed by a precise charge of compressed air, and the fuel / air mixture is directed toward the spark plug by a uniquely shaped piston. The result is more-complete combustion for outstanding economy and smoke-free emissions.

 

Lightweight.

No outboard in its class weighs less than the Mercury® 250hp OptiMax®. That helps create amazing hole-shot acceleration, increased top speed and overall efficiency. Its compact 60-degree V6 engine delivers brawn without the bulk.

 

The Big Tiller.

The optional center-mounted Big Tiller offers optimal control. A longer tiller grip incorporates a convenient power trim switch, the shift lever is close at hand, and an optional digital troll control adjusts engine speed as low as 700 rpm in 10-rpm increments.

 

Accessory Power.

A 60-amp (756-watt) belt-driven alternator keeps batteries charged to power electronics, lights, livewells and audio equipment.

 

Geared to Win.

The Torque Master II gearcase, available on select 225hp and 250hp Pro XS™ outboards, is designed specifically for performance bass boats. Its stout 1.25-inch prop shaft can handle the strain of running at an elevated mounting height. Patented front water pickups keep the engine running cool regardless of engine height. A cambered skeg improves handling and drivability.
