The naturally aspirated 520 sterndrive provides recreational boaters a cost effective power option that fits nicely, in both value and performance, between the MerCruiser 8.2L MAG HO and Mercury Racing 540. It features digital throttle and shift and is backed by an unprecedented two-year limited factory warranty.
Joystick Piloting is available on select 520 models featuring the Mercury Racing Bravo Three XR drive. Applications require through transom exhaust. An optional X-haust Noise Reducer Kit available.
The 520 complies with EPA emissions requirements. CARB (California Air Resources Board) emissions compliant models are available upon special request.
