2020 Mercury 50 HP 4-Stroke 20″ (L)

This 2020 Mercury 50 HP ELPTO is a four-stroke on a 20-inch shaft with only 137 hours logged, sold as used, like-new equipment with electric start and power trim already fitted.

Why the hour count matters here

Being a four-stroke rather than a two-stroke, this motor runs on straight gasoline rather than a fuel-oil mix poured in at the pump, which simplifies fueling trip to trip. Mercury's own four-stroke design from this era is a known quantity, and 137 hours is light for a motor of this age, though low hours on their own are not a substitute for a look at the water pump and compression before a long run; the seller's account has it never repainted and running well, fully serviced and ready to mount. Steering and shift work through a remote setup rather than a tiller fixed to the motor, which suits a boat already wired for console controls.

What comes with it

Controls, electric start, and power trim are included. The 20-inch shaft fits a standard transom height; confirm that measurement with us before ordering rather than guessing. This motor is finished in black, and a four-stroke this recent typically needs less fuel-system attention than an older two-stroke of similar power, since there is no oil-fuel mix ratio to keep track of trip to trip.
