Big-time power. With a longer design and
bigger components, Mercury BigFoot was made
specifically to deliver the type of power, thrust
and control that wider, heavier boats demand.
❖ Taller gearcase puts the prop deeper, below
turbulent water, for improved performance.
❖ Unlike the three-blade prop found on other
outboards, our
low-pitch, four-blade prop
increases control especially at lower speeds.
❖ A low 2.42:1 gear ratio delivers thrust
and maneuverability that big loads demand.
