Mercury 60 HP SeaPro Electric Start Steering Trim and Tilt CT Long Shaft Outboard Motor

The Mercury FourStroke 60 ELPT EFI CT SeaPro is a 4-stroke outboard marine engine with 60 HP / 45 kW and a 995 cc 4-cylinder engine, designed for commercial fishing boats, rental tour boats, water taxis, and high-use marine vessels that require a long shaft. Thanks to its Command Thrust (CT) gearcase system, it features a large gearcase and propeller of an engine block from a higher power range. The SeaPro series is a specially developed Mercury series for commercial and heavy-duty outboard motors. Increased durability, SmartCraft integration, and long service intervals are optimized to meet the needs of commercial operators.

FourStroke 60 ELPT EFI CT SeaPro Series Features and Technology Advantages

SeaPro engines aim for long life in saltwater environments with an enhanced cooling system and increased anode protection compared to standard FourStroke series. The SmartCraft gauge system enables fleet-specific engine monitoring.

• 4-Cylinder Engine (995 cc): SeaPro engines aim for long life in saltwater environments with an enhanced cooling system and increased anode protection compared to standard FourStroke series
• Long Shaft (508 mm (20")): The propeller operates at optimum depth with the correct transom height
• SeaPro Durability Package: Enhanced cooling, increased anode protection, and long service intervals
• Command Thrust (CT) Gearcase: The large gearcase and propeller of an engine block from a higher power range — high torque at low RPM and strong thrust capability
• Electric Start: Instant activation with a key or button — comfortable and fast starting
• Power Trim & Tilt: Adjust trim angle with a button while underway — fuel efficiency optimization; tilt to fully raise the engine
• 25 Liter Internal Tank: Sufficient capacity for medium-distance routes; option for external tank connection

Long Shaft — Which Boat Type is it Suitable For?

A long shaft (508 mm (20")) is suitable for the vast majority of inflatable boats, aluminum boats, and fiberglass boat models. For boats with a transom height of 381 mm, a short shaft model should be preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Mercury SeaPro 60 HP recommended for commercial use?

The SeaPro series offers an enhanced cooling system and increased anode protection compared to standard FourStroke engines. SmartCraft integration facilitates fleet management and engine monitoring. Long service intervals reduce operational costs.

What does the SmartCraft system provide in SeaPro engines?

SmartCraft transmits engine status, fuel consumption, temperature, and hourly operating data to a digital display. In multi-engine configurations, each engine can be monitored separately. The early warning system for malfunctions prevents unexpected breakdowns.

What are the maintenance periods for SeaPro engines?

SeaPro engines are designed for long service intervals. Oil changes should be performed according to manufacturer recommendations. In saltwater use, freshwater flushing after each use and end-of-season anode inspection are mandatory.

Which boat and inflatable boat brands are compatible with the FourStroke 60 ELPT EFI CT SeaPro?

Mercury outboard motors are compatible with many fiberglass, aluminum, and inflatable boat models thanks to their universal transom clamp or transom mounting system. The only criteria are your boat's transom height of 508 mm (20") and the maximum engine power approved by the manufacturer. You can confirm compatibility by sharing your boat model with Clever Marin.
