New Mercury 3.5HP Tiller Outboards

3.5 Horsepower Mercury Tiller Outboard Motors

Mercury 3.5 hp tiller outboard motors offer some of the best performance and reliability in their class. At NuWave Marine, we proudly offer Mercury 3.5 horsepower tiller outboard motors that are perfect for your small boat.

For nearly 100 years, Mercury Marine has been one of the best manufacturers of marine engines and motors. Mercury stands out by designing its products for maritime applications from the ground up, rather than adapting pre-existing automobile engines.

How much does a 3.5hp Mercury tiller outboard weigh?

The Mercury 3.5 tiller outboard motor weighs approximately 41 pounds dry and with an empty fuel tank. This makes the Mercury 3.5mlh outboard motor an appropriate choice for small watercraft like aluminum tillers, inflatable soft hulls, and jon boats.

These small craft don’t require much power, and their light hulls can’t support the weight of a larger engine. With a quiet, smoke-free operation, a Mercury outboard motor can help you enjoy your time on the water undisturbed.

How much fuel does a Mercury 3.5 hp outboard use?

The Mercury 3.5 horsepower outboard motor features an integrated fuel tank with a capacity of 0.3 gallons, or 1.1 liters. At full throttle, the engine can run for roughly 45 minutes on a full tank of gas, while throttling down to 3/4 extends the runtime to about an hour.

Some boat owners will carry an extra jerry can of gas on their boat for refueling to extend their range and time on the water.

If you want an engine with even further fuel capacity, you may want to consider a Mercury 4 hp motor, as that model can connect to an external fuel tank.

How fast does a 3.5hp Mercury tiller outboard go?

You should expect a top speed of roughly 9.6 miles per hour while at full throttle. While at full throttle, the Mercury 3.5hp outboard achieves RPMs between 5000 and 6000. This is the perfect operating speed for the types of boats that the 3.5 hp Mercury outboard is meant to propel.

Your boat’s top speed will depend on other factors aside from your engine, including your hull, propeller, and the water’s conditions.

Because these watercraft are so small and light, they aren’t meant for the higher speeds you see on larger and heavier boats. The Mercury 3.5mlh motor instead provides a lightweight, quiet, and smokeless boating experience that is safe and comfortable.
