Easy Ownership and Smooth Performance

Redefining the Diesel Experience

A Mercury Diesel is more than just an engine you can count on. It’s a powerful, versatile key for unlocking the freedom of open water. From fuel-injection systems that virtually eliminate noise and harshness to features that simplify maintenance, it’s a diesel experience like no other.

Exceptional Power for Effortless Days

Everything about a Mercury Diesel engine is built for life on the water. Advanced turbocharging and injection technologies are precisely calibrated for marine performance, making easy work of moving large boats. Lightweight designs further boost efficiency so you can venture farther and stay out longer.

Versatility and Support

There are Mercury Diesel engines available to power an array of boats and propulsion systems, including sterndrives, inboards and Zeus® pods. All backed by the Mercury global service network. You decide where to go and what adventure looks like, and Mercury gets you there.

Diesel Advantage

Easy Ownership

Top-mounted fluid reservoirs, a self-draining oil filter and an easy-to-reach oil dipstick keep maintenance and service simple.

Reduced Weight

With exceptional power-to-weight ratios, Mercury Diesel engines pack big-time propulsion in a lightweight package. The difference: quicker acceleration, faster planing, and easier handling.

Durability

Durability and reliability are in the details, like thermostatically controlled closed-cooling systems and advanced corrosion resistance. Our diesel engines are designed to go the distance.

Efficiency

Mercury Diesel engines run clean and run easy, without the harshness or fumes from traditional diesels. They can also deliver up to 50% better fuel efficiency compared to gas engines of the same horsepower.
