New Mercury 115 Pro XS FourStroke outboard

Published on: 15/09/2016

Mercury has raised the bar even higher with the launch of the new 115 Pro XS FourStroke outboard which will be on show for the first time in the UK at Southampton Boat Show.

Based on the popular Mercury 115 FourStroke, the new Mercury 115 Pro XS delivers significantly better performance than any other high-output 115hp outboard on the market today. In fact, the new 115 Pro XS is 16 pounds lighter than the two-stroke OptiMax outboard engine it replaces and 18 pounds lighter than the nearest competing 115hp engine. Its 2.1L displacement is higher than that of any competing 115hp engine. This unbeatable combination delivers higher torque, better performance and greater durability.

Building on its Pro XS heritage, the new 115 Pro XS was intelligently designed to provide consumers exactly what they’ve been asking for – an outboard that is light and second to none in performance.

Fastest top speed

The 115 Pro XS is up to 3mph faster than its nearest competitor and more than 1 mph faster than Mercury’s standard 115 FourStroke. The 115 Pro XS FourStroke’s higher rpm range delivers improved performance out of an already powerful engine.

Quickest acceleration

More than 1 second quicker than Mercury’s standard 115 FourStroke, the 115 Pro XS has the ability to run lower pitch props to put the boat on plane quicker, reducing 0 to 20mph by 1 to 2 seconds.

Higher full-throttle rpm

Increasing engine rpm from 6000 to 6300 allows prop pitch to be reduced, resulting in maximum performance benefits.

Idle-charge

This new feature provides up to 48% more battery charging at idle speed to support the greater power demands of today’s sophisticated marine electronics and accessories. This means boaters can safely stay out on the water longer.

As a member of the powerful Mercury Pro XS family, the new 115 Pro XS delivers unparalleled benefits including ease of maintenance and superior protection against corrosion with Mercury’s industry-leading ultra-low copper content alloys that help create an outboard built to withstand the elements.

The new Mercury 115 Pro XS FourStroke outboard made its mark at the 2016 UIM Class 3A and 3B World Championships earlier this year in Tvedestrand, Norway. Jack Bobin and Team Motorvated Racing, won a very close contested race that went right down to the wire, finishing an astounding four minutes ahead of their closest rivals. “Last year I raced with a 115 Pro XS 2-stroke and as soon as I heard that Mercury had released a lighter and more powerful FourStroke, I ordered one immediately. I can’t thank Mercury and Barrus enough for helping me to become World Champion; the FourStroke has given me better acceleration out of race turn marks and a higher top end speed,” Jack concluded.
