Mercury 300XXL Verado FourStroke Warm Fusion

This used Mercury 300XXL Verado FourStroke in Warm Fusion White carries the 300 hp V8 on a 30-inch shaft, pairing electro-hydraulic power steering with digital throttle and shift as standard equipment. Advanced Range Optimization handles fuel delivery at cruise on its own, with nothing for the operator to notice.

Picking the 30-inch leg

This shaft length suits a deeper transom than a shorter Verado in the same range would call for; order the length that matches your boat since it cannot be changed afterward. An advanced mid-section isolates vibration, which is part of why dry weight reaches 600 lbs here.

Electrical load and powerhead specs

A 115-amp alternator with idle charge is handy here for boats running extra electronics, and the V8 beneath it stays unchanged: 4.6 liters, 279 cid, 32 valves across its twin camshafts, and a 5200-6000 rpm ceiling at full throttle, on a 1.75:1 gearcase.

What color does it come in? Warm Fusion White.

Is a propeller included? No, props are sold separately from the powerhead.

Anyone replacing an older 300 hp Verado with this one should expect the same mounting footprint, aside from the added length of this particular shaft.
