2026 Mercury 15 ELH EFI FourStroke OutboardLightweight Power. Effortless Performance. Built to Explore. Compact, efficient, and remarkably capable — the 2026 Mercury 15 ELH EFI FourStroke delivers smooth, reliable power in a portable package. With 15 horsepower, a 20-inch long shaft, and electric start, this lightweight outboard is ideal for jon boats, skiffs, inflatables, and other small vessels with higher transoms. The 333cc inline 2-cylinder, 4-stroke engine features Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for instant starts, crisp throttle response, and excellent fuel efficiency. Designed for dependable operation in any condition, the 15 ELH’s battery-powered EFI system ensures easy starting and consistent performance across the power band. Mercury’s multi-function tiller handle provides intuitive, one-handed control of steering, throttle, and shifting, while its adjustable friction and lockable 73° angle make trailering and storage a breeze. A 12-amp alternator keeps electronics charged, and the engine’s shallow water drive system offers added versatility when navigating tight or shallow areas. Engineered for comfort and durability, the 15 ELH is saltwater-rated and built with high-grade marine alloys, a multi-step corrosion-resistant coating, and precision-tuned “wishbone” mounts that minimize vibration for a quieter, smoother ride.
