“Every performance powerboat enthusiast should experience the awesome punch of the Mercury Racing V8 300R outboard.”
Jeff Broman
Director, Mercury Racing Category
The Mercury Racing 300R outboard is offered with three midsection choices, each designed for specific performance applications.
To extract maximum performance, the Racing 300R is equipped with a Mercury Racing-designed short-runner intake, high-performance intake camshafts, an oil cooler and a performance-optimized ECU calibration that increases the WOT range to 6400 RPM.
Three gearcase options are available for the 300R outboard, each design for a specific high-performance application.
An optional rear tie-bar bracket integral to the Mercury Racing AMS provides a strong, ultra-light mounting point for precision steering in ultra-high-speed applications. Select HD CMS models are available with optional rear tie-bar mounting plates and side steering brackets for high speed applications when using the Sport Master gearcase.
The dual muffler system of Advanced Sound Control offers the option of a deep sport tone with a stirring growl on start-up.

The Racing 300R is designed to make full power on readily available 87-octane fuel. To squeeze more power from less fuel Advanced Range Optimization (ARO), a closed loop fuel-control system, utilizes electronic sensors to precisely adjust the fuel mixture for the best-possible efficiency at all speeds. Mercury Racing 300R is engineered to be reliable and durable. A rugged midsection is designed to handle all the high-performance abuse the water can dish out. Superior protection against corrosion begins with the industry’s lowest-copper aluminum alloy and exclusive, comprehensive finish treatments. These high-performance outboards are tested, tested and tested again – in the lab and on the water – in a never-ending quest to exceed the highest expectations.
