Mercury Marine announced a new 40 horsepower electronically fuel-injected (EFI) FourStroke Jet outboard.

The new 40 hp EFI FourStroke Jet Drive, based on the Mercury 60 hp EFI
FourStroke outboard, makes it possible to boat in shallow lakes, streams and rivers typically inaccessible with a standard propeller-driven outboard.

Unlike some competitive jet outboards, the Mercury 40 hp EFI FourStroke Jet outboard is designed to fit on a 20-inch transom, making it an easy
replacement for the standard outboard.

The 40 hp EFI FourStroke Jet Drive outboard features state-of-the art EFI technology. This sequential multi-port system uses an injector for each cylinder resulting in instant turn-key starting, unmatched smoothness and instantaneous throttle response in all types of atmospheric conditions.

This design provides improved fuel economy, greater range and smoother
running quality than equivalent two-stroke models. Superior fuel efficiency is provided by a microprocessor controlled EFI, sequential multi-port fuel delivery system.

In addition, these engines feature exclusive Mercury technologies, including Engine Guardian and SmartCraft. Engine Guardian constantly monitors and protects you're your engine by taking corrective action when needed. SmartCraft Integrated Technology provides digitally accurate engine performance and diagnostic information.

Mercury 40 EFI FourStroke Jet Drive models will be available through
authorized Mercury dealers beginning this summer.
