Performance You Can Count On
1. Quiet and Smooth Operation
Thanks to its 4-stroke technology, the Mercury 5HP propane outboard is quieter and far smoother than comparable 2-stroke engines. Whether you’re traveling on a placid lake or heading into the bay, you’ll appreciate the quiet – especially if you’re fishing or just enjoying a leisurely ride.
2. Easy to Start
No more yanking and pulling! The Mercury 5HP LPG model features a manual start system that’s been optimized for propane fuel, offering a reliable and easy ignition every time.
3. Great Throttle Response
With a responsive tiller handle and a multi-function throttle, you’re always in full control. It’s ideal for precision maneuvering in tight spots or launching from shore.
4. Low Maintenance Requirements
Propane burns cleaner than gasoline, resulting in fewer carbon deposits in the engine and a longer-lasting engine. That means less frequent oil changes, less exhaust residue, and lower long-term maintenance expenses.
Why Propane? The Benefits Over Traditional Gasoline Outboards
The Mercury 5MH-LPG outboard engine is an excellent option for boaters concerned about the environment. Propane as a fuel possesses several distinct advantages over gasoline:
Cleaner Burning Fuel
Propane emits much lower levels of pollutants, including carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides. It is a much cleaner option for boaters who are environmentally conscious.
Easy Fuel Storage
Propane cylinders are easy to handle, refill, and store. No more do you need to deal with smelly gasoline spills and degraded fuel. A 16.4 oz canister can give you up to one hour of run time at wide-open throttle. You can also hook up to a larger 20 lb tank for extended trips.
Less Risk of Spills and Contamination
Propane is a closed, non-toxic fuel system, eliminating the danger of water contamination. It’s safe for the environment and marine life and much less likely to leak.
Longer Shelf Life
Propane won’t degrade over time like gasoline. This is especially convenient for seasonal boaters who won’t be using their engines every weekend.

Who Is This Outboard Best For?
Anglers and Fishing Enthusiasts
Quiet running and smooth idling make the Mercury 5HP ideal for fishing trips. Whether you’re trolling or backing into narrow inlets, you’ll appreciate the low noise and high precision.
Campers and Outdoor Adventurers
This is a favorite among camping enthusiasts who take inflatable boats, canoes, or dinghies with them on excursions. The propane model is a great choice because it can share fuel with propane grills and camp stoves – fewer gear, more fun!
