To extend range the 60R is equipped with computer-controlled electronic fuel injection (EFI). programmed to deliver outstanding fuel economy at cruising speed on 87-octane fuel.
Sits perfectly on a 15-inch transom and under a compact poling platform to lower the center of gravity for improved stability.
The high-thrust gearcase can handle up to 20 percent more prop-blade area than a standard gearcase and provides added lift aft to boost hole-shot performance.
