Jet 80 ELPT 4-Stroke EFI. This jet is built on the 115 powerhead to create 80 hp at the pump. It's best known for it's carrying capacity and it runs out well with heavy loads. This engine comes standard with a stainless steel impeller to handle rocky rivers (competitors still try to sell aluminum impellers) and mounts to a 27" transom height. We stock risers if your transom isn't tall enough.
Of course, this engine is a 4-stroke. It's also fuel injected and dialed in to run a various altitudes (Merc has a test site at 7000 ft altitude).
Information
2026 Mercury Marine® FourStroke 80hp Jet
From first light in the duck blind to last cast on the river, Mercury Jet outboards help ensure that nothing stands between you and your adventures. These lightweight, capable and efficient engines are built to dominate shallow water
Features may include:
High-Output Alternator
A powerful 35-amp alternator helps keep batteries charged and your onboard electronics running all day.
Stainless Impeller
The stainless impeller improves performance and withstands harsh, abrasive debris that can be drawn through the pump, enhancing long-term durability and reliability.
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
From the moment you crank the engine to the moment you drop the throttle, EFI technology responds with instant power. Surefire starting in all weather conditions. Smooth, efficient acceleration. Maximum capability.
High-Displacement Powerhead
Featuring the proven Mercury 2.1L inline-4 powerhead, these 65 and 80hp Jet outboards pack the muscle and reliability needed to confidently tackle challenging waters.
Advanced Controls
With choice of tiller or remote steering, you can outfit your shallow-water boat with a Mercury propulsion system that’s perfect for your adventures
Reduced Friction
These FourStroke outboards are among the lowest-friction engines on the water. Low friction reduces the amount of power needed to run the engine, leaving more power to run the boat efficiently.
Powerful Acceleration
Mercury Jet outboards deliver awesome hole shots thanks to an efficient jet-drive design and performance-tuned scroll intake that increases torque.
Lighter by Design
The lightweight FourStroke engine design is ideal for shallow-water applications.
Corrosion Resistance
Specially engineered alloys, waterproof electrical connections and a tightly sealed cowl system help protect your engine from the harshest elements in freshwater and salt.
Durability Meets Drivability
Our Jet outboards are tough, yet easy to handle, with a durable stainless impeller that can withstand hard operation and intuitive controls that put you in full command on the river or the marsh.
More Fun on Less Fuel
Explore farther and stay out longer thanks to a lightweight design and optimized fuel injection that maximize performance from every drop of gas.
Compact Flexibility
The low weight and slender width of a Mercury Jet outboard lets you power boats ranging from compact river skiffs and small jon boats to larger boats capable of hauling all the gear and people you need for serious outdoor adventures
