3.5hp Mercury 3.5 MH 4 STROKE

The minnow bucket stays level as you slip between the granite shelves below Seven Sisters, the Mercury 3.5's quiet four-stroke barely disturbing the morning calm.

This engine is built for the angler who knows the difference between getting to the fish and getting there quietly. At 3.5 horsepower, it's light enough to carry into backcountry lakes without a second thought, and the four-stroke pull-start fires consistently even after months sitting in the shed over winter. Trolling speed holds steady against a river current, letting you work structure without pushing fish off the bite. When the spot goes cold, it has enough authority to move an aluminum boat to the next point without wasting the morning.

The Mercury 3.5 four-stroke has quietly become the go-to kicker for Manitoba anglers who measure a good day by the livewell, not the tachometer. Most of these go to guys who've already got a big motor on the transom — they just needed something honest and reliable for the mornings that call for a slower pace.
