Results from both are incredible

The all-new 250 and 300hp Verado outboards provide sensational power from a rock-solid V8 4.6-liter powerhead that delivers exhilarating acceleration and top speed. Class-leading displacement and robust design provide uncompromising durability and reliability, and the Mercury-exclusive Advanced MidSection (AMS) and under-cowl noise management match the 350’s standard for smooth, quiet marine propulsion.

The legendary L6 350hp Verado, with supercharged torque that hits the instant you drop the digital throttle, unleashes pure, refined marine muscle. Tuned to power the heaviest offshore boats out of the hole and over the swell, it also has the legs to fly big pontoons and speedy runabouts. Yet, 350 Verado still sets the bar for smooth, quiet boating.

Ultimate confidence demands ultimate durability and reliability. And nothing delivers like Verado®. Made to handle big boats and big water with long-bolt design; maintenance-free valve train; dual water inlets for consistent cooling and longer life; superior protection against corrosion; and precise, effortless handling at high speeds, even in rough seas.

Offshore Gearcase: Our ultra-robust, 5.44-inch diameter gearcase is designed and built to handle offshore seas with gears, heavy-duty bearings, and components that are larger and stronger than those in a standard gearcase.

Driving a Verado® is like nothing you've ever experienced. It's smooth. It's quiet. It's nearly effortless. The perfect combination of handling and running quality you have to feel to believe.

SmartCraft® Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS)

Delivers instant throttle response and predictable, ultra-smooth shifts, without the "clunk" of mechanical shifting.

Joystick Piloting and Integrated Power Steering

The ultimate in comfortable, confident and complete control can be delivered by every Verado model. Joystick Piloting allows you to move your boat sideways, diagonally, forward and backward, or spin your boat on its axis. Or remain “virtually anchored” in place despite wind or current. The anxiety and challenges of maneuvering in tight situations are gone. Meanwhile, integrated power steering delivers automotive-like handling for easy boating.

Advanced MidSection (AMS)

Verado features a mid-engine cradle with four progressive rate mounts to isolate the powerhead and deliver a quiet, smooth ride from refined, naturally balanced power. Less vibration, less sound, more control. Boating as it was meant to be.

An Enhanced Boating Experience

Save Fuel

Verado V8 outboards deliver superior fuel economy at cruising speed and wide-open throttle. Advanced Range Optimization (ARO) calibration precisely adjusts the fuel mixture and delivers the best possible efficiency at any speed. And Verado V8 outboards are calibrated to deliver full performance on 87-octane fuel.

Simplified Maintenance

A new Top Cowl Service Door on Verado motors provides easy engine-oil checks and fills. A single push opens the watertight door for access to the dipstick, service decal, and carrying handle.

Boating Made Easier

Available Active Trim makes boating easier and more enjoyable by automatically trimming your engines and simplifying boat operation while improving engine performance and decreasing fuel costs.

Adaptive Speed Control

Whether you’re heading up a swell or into a tight turn, Adaptive Speed Control on V8 Verado outboards automatically maintains a set rpm even as load or conditions change. That means you make far fewer throttle adjustments.
