Still the lightest in class
Mercury's 8hp FourStroke is still the lightest in the class, but being lightweight doesn't mean cutting corners.
The 8hp FourStroke features a convenient multifunction tiller handle that provides easy one-hand shifting operation. Furthermore, this outboard comes equipped with the exclusive automatic reverse hook that doesn't require you to change a clumsy lever manually to hold the engine in place whilst reversing.
Thanks to the Mercury multifunction tiller handle on the 8hp FourStroke, you have the boat control to operate in confined spaces and open waters all day with ease. This revolutionary, all in one handle design delivers one handed operation for shifting, stopping, throttle control, tilting and steering. This gives you unrivalled manoeuvrability and makes your time on the water easier and safer.
- The 8hp FourStroke features the exclusive Mercury multifunction tiller
