Mercury Marine announces the introduction of its ultra-lightweight and reliable 15/20hp EFI FourStroke outboard platform.

In addition, Mercury launched its new Multi-Function Tiller Handle assembly designed for the 15/20hp EFI FourStroke platform ñ the world's first portable outboard tiller that offers ambidextrous operation.

"We are thrilled to bring to the market an all-new 15/20hp EFI four-stroke outboard platform, an engine that is easy-to-start, intuitive-to-operate, lightweight, fuel-efficient, quiet, powerful and reliable," said John Buelow, Mercury Marine VP of global category management. "Through extensive consumer research, we identified four defining features that our customers had been asking for, and these engines provide them. †The goal is always to deliver an elite boating experience to our customers, and these engines do just that."

Mercury's new Multi-Function Tiller Handle is an ergonomically enhanced control for the company's new 15/20hp EFI FourStroke outboard lineup. †This lightweight portable outboard platform starts at just 99 lbs. (45 kg.), and is 11 lbs. (5 kg.) lighter than the platform it replaces in Mercury's outboard line.

"Mercury's all-new, proprietary tiller handle is adjustable in ways never seen before on portable outboards," said Jim Hergert, Mercury Marine category manager. "It can be set up for right- or left-hand operation and the vertical down stop is adjustable to accommodate specific boat layouts and body frames, enhancing the boating experience and making it extremely user-friendly."

Designed for anglers, recreational family boaters, and commercial operators, the new outboard features battery-free EFI for fast, reliable starting, instant throttle response and better overall performance; is among the lightest on the market improving acceleration, top speed and handling; and delivers exceptional fuel economy.

The ProKicker trolling engine comes standard with a high thrust 4-blade prop, power tilt and Mercury's patented "kicker straps" that automatically center and lock the outboard in the tilt up position during high speed running to protect the clamp bracket from impact.

The all-new Mercury's 15/20hp EFI FourStroke outboard is available in Mercury, Mercury ProKicker and Sea Pro commercial variations.
