Gearcase

5.44 HD Gearcase

The Mercury Racing 5.44 HD gearcase option is ideal for heavy bay boats and multi-engine performance center console boats that require a more-submerged gearcase and benefit from added stern lift. It features a 1.60:1 gear ratio.

Sport Master Gearcase

The race-proven Sport Master gearcase is a surface-piercing design intended for boats capable of exceeding 85 mph, and features low water pick-ups and a crescent leading edge to maximize speed and efficiency. It also features a 1.60:1 gear ratio.

Power to the Water

The new Mercury Racing® Ventera™ propeller is designed to handle big outboard horsepower on fast center consoles, day cruisers and bay boats. This 15-inch diameter, four-blade prop was engineered specifically to carry more load with greater efficiency at high speeds and in semi-surfacing installations.
