Mercury Marine has announced the latest expansion of its award-winning Verado outboard lineup with the introduction of the all-new V10 425hp Verado outboard and a performance enhanced version of the V10 350hp Verado outboard.
Both models set new benchmarks for performance in the high-horsepower outboard segment, delivering exceptional power, acceleration and fuel efficiency while continuing Mercury’s legacy for smoothness and quiet operation.
“These new V10 Verado engines reflect our commitment to giving boaters exactly what they’ve asked for: greater performance with the same smooth, refined experience they expect from Mercury,” said Mercury Marine President, John Buelow.
“With this launch, we’re raising the bar in the high-horsepower category and reaffirming the Verado family’s position as the pinnacle of premium outboard performance.”
All-New V10 425hp Verado
The new 425hp model delivers class-leading acceleration and significant weight advantages compared to a 450hp competitor. In Mercury’s testing, it was:
- 3 seconds faster from 0-48 km/h than a 450hp competitor (on a 26-foot, 5,000-pound (2270 kgs) centre-console boat with a heavy load)
- 115 kgs less than a 450hp competitor (25-inch XL models)
- Equipped with a 150-amp alternator – the highest output in its class
- 22% quieter at cruise than a 450hp competitor
Enhanced V10 350hp Verado
The upgraded 350hp model delivers impressive improvements in top-end speed and mid-range acceleration:
- 35 km/h higher top speed than a 350hp competitor (light load test configuration)
- 4 seconds faster from 0-48 km/h and 8 seconds faster from 0 to top speed than a 350hp competitor (heavy load test configuration)
- Four times the alternator output at cruise compared to a 350hp competitor
- 40% quieter at cruise than a 350hp competitor
- 15% quicker 0-80 km/h acceleration than Mercury’s current 350hp model thanks to enhanced mid-range torque
Built for Repower and New Builds Alike
Built on Mercury’s compact V10 platform, both engines offer 26-inch centre-to-centre mounting, making them ideal for repowering boats originally rigged with L6 Verado or competitive outboards.
Digital Throttle & Shift is standard on the new 425hp and enhanced 350hp Verado outboards, which also offer available Joystick Piloting for exceptional control and precision.
