- Performance: They offer high maneuverability in situations where a propeller would be damaged.
- Characteristics: The jet drive results in a slight horsepower loss compared to a prop-driven counterpart but provides specialized performance for rivers and other shallow areas.
- Early models (pre-mid-1990s): Most were carbureted and came in displacements like 2.0L, 2.4L, and 2.5L. Performance models included the Black Max series and XR-series with enhanced features.
- EFI and Optimax (mid-1990s and later): In the mid-1990s, Mercury introduced Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for better fuel efficiency and throttle response. This was followed by the Optimax line, which used Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) to improve fuel economy and lower emissions significantly
.
- High-performance versions: The Pro Max, Super Magnum, and later XS models (Optimax) offered high-performance features like revised porting, special pistons, and different engine control module (PCM) calibration for competitive use.
- 135, 150, 175 HP: These typically used the 2.5L V6 block, with the different horsepower ratings achieved through carburetor size or EFI programming. For example, a 150 HP XR6 had different tuning than a standard 150 HP.
- 200, 225, 250 HP: These used both 2.5L and 3.0L blocks over time. The larger displacement allowed for more power, especially at lower RPMs. In the Optimax line, the 250 HP might have different pistons, heads, and a higher air/fuel pressure than the 200 or 225
.
- Mariner vs. Mercury: A Mariner 225 EFI from 1996 would be mechanically identical to a Mercury 225 EFI from the same year, with parts often being interchangeable.
- Optimax fuel system: Owners of Optimax models must be diligent with fuel filter changes and fuel system checks. The DFI system is more complex and requires clean fuel to function correctly.
- Powerhead issues: While generally reliable, older engines can experience wear on pistons, rings, and crank seals. Any decrease in performance or unusual engine noise warrants an inspection.
- Trim motor
: Aftermarket trim motors are commonly available for these models.
- Water pump impeller: Given the age of these engines, the water pump impeller should be inspected and replaced regularly to prevent overheating.
