Standard with Power Steering and DTS with Available Integrated Rear Tie-Bar Bracket ▼

FOND DU LAC, Wis. (April 26, 2021) – The Mercury Racing 300R outboard is now available with the Mercury Racing Advanced MidSection (Racing AMS), a third midsection option that improves handling, simplifies rigging and adds additional setback to this potent, high- performance outboard. The 300R outboard with the Racing AMS midsection will be available with a 5.44-inch HD or Sport Master gearcase, in Phantom Black or Cold Fusion White colors. All models with the Racing AMS feature standard Mercury Digital Throttle and Shift (DTS) control and standard Mercury electro-hydraulic power steering.

“With the addition of Racing AMS, more powerboat enthusiasts can experience maximum performance in the 300hp outboard class that is only available from the Mercury Racing 300R,” said Stuart Halley, Mercury Racing general manager. “This package should be especially appealing for use on high-performance, stepped-bottom center console boats, many of which have transoms already optimized for the for the added set-back of the AMS as offered on other Mercury Marine and Mercury Racing outboard products. It’s a better fit on many of these transoms and permits more tilt range within narrow motorwells. With the new 300R Racing AMS models, more performance enthusiasts may now experience the awesome punch of a Mercury Racing V8 outboard.”

New Four-Stroke Performance for Tunnel Boat Racers ▼

Mercury Racing expands its Apex Series of competition outboards with the introduction of the Mercury Racing 200 APX, a V6 four-stroke model designed for UIM F2 and APBA OPC tunnel boat racing. Rated at more than 200 horsepower, the 200 APX outboard offers racers a very durable powerhead and the latest in four-stroke engine technology, while reducing exhaust emissions by 90 percent compared to the Mercury Racing 200 SX two-stroke outboard currently in use in these classes, which is no longer in production. The Mercury Racing 200 APX will be available in May, 2021, only to qualified racing teams.

“The new 200 APX is designed to deliver outstanding performance while reducing the cost of maintenance and fuel for F2 and OPC race teams, many of which are amateurs,” said Stuart Halley, Mercury Racing general manager. “Mercury Racing is also striving to produce high-performance and competition engines that keep emissions to a minimum, and the 200 APX helps push that effort forward.”

More Diameter and Pitch for the Fastest Multi-Engine Performance Boats ▼
FOND DU LAC, Wis. (March 15, 2021) — Mercury Racing® has expanded the pitch range of its popular Revolution® 4 XP propeller line, investing in a new base casting that will be used to produce this high‑performance prop in a 15‑inch diameter and pitches of 26.0, 26.5, 27.0 and 27.5 inches. This new casting will be used to replace the current 14.63‑inch diameter Revolution 4 XP at 26.0‑ and 26.5‑inch pitch sizes.

“The latest high‑performance center console boats, paired with multiple Mercury Racing 400R and 450R outboards, are requiring a taller pitch propeller due to the speeds being achieved,” said Mercury Racing Performance Propeller Manager Nick Petersen. “They are running right to the rev limiter. This new propeller offering will open the speed range for customers that prefer the design of the Rev 4. A boat that’s now out of rpm at 86 mph may be able to reach 90 mph without hitting the rev limiter.”

FOND DU LAC, Wis. (Feb.&nbs;17, 2021) — Mercury Racing Propeller Manager Scott Reichow — for decades a respected source of design vision, innovation, and prop wisdom to racers and high‑performance boat owners — retired Jan. 29, 2021, closing out a career with the company that began in 1977.

A Truly Incredible Experience!▼

The Alva River Run was just amazing. The entire island was like one giant party barge with boats all around it, and not an extra space to be spared. It really is a great location and there were no mishaps of any kind. Hanging out on the island with a panoramic view of all the boats really was exactly what I needed after being in lockdown so long. The variety of boats there was astounding, from a classic Checkmate to one of Wildman Randy's Liberator creations and almost everything you can imagine was present. It really was a great day to shoot photos.

Whether storing your boat for months or years, a few extra steps can make a big difference▼

With the exception of the the diehards among us, the boating season is over for most people up north now so I thought this might be a good time to outline some tips for the proper storage of your boat during the off-season or just taking it out of service. I should note that this article is about the care of your hull in storage, not the engine and other systems.

There are many sources for preparing engines for storage, however I’ve found that often the hulls themselves are usually put into storage with not much more than a cover. That may be fine for short-term, in-between-use layups, however, additional steps should be taken if the boat is to be stored for more than a month.

It's That Time Again! ▼

It seems to have become a tradition to give away a Fire TV during the holidays, so here we go again! I use my Fire TV every day, and during the COVID solitary confinement, it has helped a great deal. So I will be giving away the new 2020 version of the Fire TV Stick with Alexa remote. I don't think anybody is sure how long COVID will continue to be a big concern, so maybe this device will make any future lockdowns a bit easier.

I hope you are all well and staying safe. If anybody has extra masks or materials for people that are in a situation of great need, please consider reaching out to them. My thoughts are with all of you, and please be careful out there.
