Pro XS Advantage
Ultimate Performance: No outboard gets from zero to wide-open quicker than a Mercury Pro XS with 4.6L V8 and 3.4L V6 muscle. This is performance that will rocket your rig out of the hole and to the next hot spot in an instant.

Tournament-Winning Torque: More displacement delivers more torque and Transient Spark technology optimises spark timing to boost that torque during hole shot.

Squeezing Speed from Fuel: Mercury V8 and V6 Pro XS models transform every drop of fuel into performance to deliver excellent economy at cruising speed and wide-open throttle.

Smart Charging: A powerful alternator provides net charging output of 20 amps at idle and 85 amps at wide open throttle. Idle Charge battery-management technology automatically increases idle rpm to boost alternator output and recharge low batteries.

Unmatched Power and Speed
The V8 and V6 Pro XS outboards perform like no other, with a dual overhead cam design that delivers instantaneous throttle response and immediate power.

Superior Fuel Economy
Advanced Range Optimisation improves cruise-speed fuel efficiency by automatically adjusting fuel delivery so seamlessly the operator won’t feel or hear it.

Lightweight Heavyweight
4.6L V8 and 3.4L V6 Pro XS outboards offer a combination of ample torque and less weight – ideal for heavier loaded boats.
