The Mercury 5hp Sail Power Outboard 5MLHA is purpose-built for sailors who need reliable auxiliary power with precise low-speed control. Designed to move heavier sailboats efficiently, this Sail Power model combines a 20-inch long shaft, high-thrust propeller, and integrated alternator—making it ideal for docking, harbor maneuvering, and calm-water motoring.
Compact, portable, and easy to operate, the 5MLHA is also well suited for aluminum tiller boats, inflatables, and utility craft that benefit from extra thrust at low speeds.
Features and Performance
Powered by a 123cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine, the 5MLHA delivers smooth, predictable power across a 4,500–5,500 RPM range. The high-thrust 3-blade aluminum propeller (6.0” pitch) is optimized to push heavier loads at slower speeds, improving control and responsiveness.
An onboard 4-amp / 50-watt alternator provides charging capability for onboard electronics, a valuable feature for sailboats. The carbureted fuel system ensures reliable operation, while manual starting and tiller throttle control keep the design simple and easy to maintain. An internal 0.3-gallon fuel tank maintains a clean, compact setup.

It delivers controlled thrust, charging capability, and long-shaft compatibility—backed by the proven engineering of Mercury Marine. Ideal for sailboats and heavier small craft, this outboard offers confidence, efficiency, and everyday convenience on the water.
