2026 Mercury Marine® Verado 600hp Base

2026 Mercury Marine® Verado 600hp

It’s time to stand out. The Mercury V12 600hp Verado outboard gives you power like you’ve never felt before. Effortlessly capable, with range to explore beyond the horizon. Comfort and luxury, for evenings of entertaining. It’s the outboard that performs above all others, inspiring an exclusive class of boating adventure.

Adrenaline-pumping excitement when you want it. Wave-conquering power when you need it. The 600hp Verado is our most powerful outboard ever, built on a dynamic, instantly responsive 7.6L V12 powerhead that elevates the experience of modern ultra-premium boats.

No other outboard handles like the V12 Verado. Because the upper engine remains still and only the gearcase turns, steering authority is sharp and precise. Every maneuver is effortless as the system responds instantly to your commands

When you take the helm of a V12-powered boat, you immerse in an on-water experience that’s distinctly Verado. Effortlessly smooth. Whisper-quiet. An engine so finely tuned that you can lose yourself in moments of pure, unapologetic luxury

Features may include:

• The outboard segment’s first V12 powerhead delivers superior horsepower and performance in a surprisingly compact footprint. Combined with the steerable gearcase and simple, streamlined rigging, the design allows the engine to mount on 27-inch centers, so boaters can fit as much power as they need on the transom.

• The two-speed transmission makes easy work of transferring 600hp to the gearcase. It doles out maximum torque and acceleration in first gear then silently shifts to second for efficient cruising and thrilling top speed. No shift clunk. No limitations. Only smooth, impressive power.

• Electro-hydraulic controls allow the steerable gearcase to react instantly to driver commands. With no movement from the engine above water, there are no distractions – only precise maneuverability around docks and smooth, effortless handling in open water.

• A new series of dual props were expertly crafted to harness the full potential of 600hp. Designed to run in a contra-rotating configuration, the new propellers power the boat on plane swiftly and efficiently, while delivering exceptional handling and fuel economy at midrange speeds.

• A more rugged, more refined next-generation Advanced MidSection (AMS) mounting system cradles the powerhead to isolate noise and vibration, while careful tuning dampens induction sounds and nearly eliminates injection noise. 600hp never sounded so quiet

• Calibrated to deliver full performance on 87-octane fuel, the V12 Verado outboard leverages dual propellers, a hydrodynamic design and Advanced Range Optimization (ARO) to maximize fuel economy. In one boat test, dual V12 Verado outboards delivered 20% better fuel economy at cruise than triple competitive 425hp outboards.

• Industry-leading 7.6 liters of displacement and a performance-inspired quad-cam design generate exceptional torque to make easy work of propelling heavy boats on plane. Because the engine works less, it runs longer, for uncompromising reliability.

• The V12 Verado outboard establishes new standards for smooth and quiet operation. Even at 600hp, noise and vibration are on par with the V8 300hp Verado outboard – and superior to the competition
