Mercury 80hp Jet Outboard 80ELPT

The Mercury 80hp Jet Outboard 80ELPT is a high-output four-stroke jet outboard engineered to operate confidently in shallow, debris-filled waters. By replacing the traditional gearcase with a jet pump, this engine allows boats to access rivers, flats, and rescue zones that are inaccessible to propeller-driven outboards.

Features and Performance

• Jet Drive Propulsion System – Enables safe operation in very shallow water without exposed propellers

• Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) – Smooth throttle response, reliable starts, and optimized fuel efficiency

• Stainless Steel Jet Impeller – Designed to handle sand, shells, and abrasive debris

• High-Displacement 2.1L Engine – Delivers strong, consistent power for demanding conditions

• High-Output Alternator (35 Amp) – Supports electronics with a water-cooled voltage regulator

• Power Trim & Tilt – Improves handling, docking, and variable-depth control

These features combine to deliver strong thrust, improved safety, and long-term reliability in harsh operating environments.

Why You Should Buy It

• Designed specifically for shallow rivers and debris-heavy waters

• Jet propulsion improves safety around obstacles and swimmers

• Higher horsepower provides added thrust for heavier boats

• EFI technology ensures efficiency and dependable performance

• Backed by a Mercury Marine 3-year factory warranty

This outboard is ideal for operators who need serious power with shallow-water capability.
