Mercury 75HP 75ELPT 20″ Shaft – Outboard Motor

The Mercury 75ELPT is a 75-horsepower FourStroke on Mercury’s 2.1-liter four-cylinder block, the same big powerhead behind the 90 and 115, so it’s loafing at this rating and makes its torque low. Electronic fuel injection delivers turnkey starts in cold weather, and the motor rigs with electric start, power trim and tilt, remote controls, and a 20-inch long shaft. That displacement-to-horsepower ratio is the story here: at 360 lbs it planes a heavy load at lower rpm than a smaller block would, with a maintenance-free valvetrain and saltwater corrosion protection throughout.

Understressed power like this suits a mid-size aluminum boat, a small dual console, or a workboat hauling gear through the Casco Bay islands day after day. For a repower off an aging 75 or 90, the low-end pull gets a loaded hull on plane sooner, and the shop’s factory-certified techs handle the rigging with OEM parts. South Port Marine stocks and installs the 75ELPT in South Portland, so call (207) 799-8191, or the Danvers office at (978) 904-1924 on the North Shore.
