Pricing by HP category
Mercury prices in Canada fall into 5 clear bands. These are 2026 starting points before HST. Real out-the-door pricing depends on shaft length, controls, rigging, and trade-in.
Portable tiller (2.5-20 HP), $1,400-$4,200
Small kicker and dinghy motors. The 9.9 EFI ProKicker is HBW's most-sold in this range. Cash-and-carry friendly.
Mid-range (25-60 HP), $4,800-$9,800
Aluminum-fishing-boat sweet spot. 40-60 HP is the working range for most 16-18 ft hulls. Tiller and remote both available.
High-HP FourStroke (75-115 HP), $11,500-$19,500
The Rice Lake repower bread-and-butter. 90 and 115 HP are our highest-volume Mercury SKUs.
V6 Pro XS or V8 FourStroke (175-300 HP), $22,000-$38,000
Bass boats, larger aluminum, big pontoons. Pro XS V6 is competitive vs Yamaha. V8 FourStroke is the quiet premium option.
V10 Verado (350-400 HP), $46,000-$54,000+
Twin or triple outboards on big offshore boats and large pontoons. Most Ontario customers don't need this band.
Repower budget reality check. Add 20-35% on top of the bare motor price for rigging, prop, install labour, and lake test. Pricing varies by model year, shaft length, controls package, gauges, and prop selection. HST extra. For an actual quote, use the configurator at mercuryrepower.ca.
Getting a straight answer on Mercury outboard prices in Ontario used to mean calling four dealers, waiting on hold, and getting four different numbers, none of which told you what was actually included.
We got tired of that. So did our customers.
Harris Boat Works is a third-generation family marina, on Rice Lake since 1947, and a current Mercury Marine Premier dealer. Every Mercury quote should be clear about what is included and what is not. We publish MSRP and dealer pricing side by side on every motor in the lineup at mercuryrepower.ca.
Here's what motor-only pricing usually does not include: HST (13% in Ontario), controls (typically $700-$1,500 depending on type), a prop ($400-$900 for aluminum or stainless), rigging and installation ($1,200-$3,500 for mid-range, $2,500-$5,000 for V6), and lake test. Those are quoted separately, and the quote you get from us is the invoice at pickup. No surprises.
How Mercury outboard pricing actually works in Canada
Mercury sets a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for every model. Dealer selling prices land at or below that number. HBW publishes both side by side: what Mercury says it's worth, and what we actually charge.
We don't publish a fixed discount percentage off MSRP because it varies by motor, season, and any active Mercury Canada promotions. The honest version is: the dealer price shown in the configurator is the dealer price. That number is the invoice at pickup, before HST, controls, prop, and rigging are added. No haggle, no "call for our best deal." Active promotion details appear in the configurator after HBW updates them; the dated written quote controls the transaction.
Some dealers post MSRP and call it a "price." We don't.
How to read a Mercury model code
Every Mercury model name is a code. Here's how to decode it:
- HP, Horsepower
- M, Manual start (pull cord)
- E, Electric start (push button)
- H, Tiller handle
- L, Long shaft (20")
- XL, Extra long shaft (25")
- PT, Power trim and tilt
- CT, Command Thrust (larger gearcase, more low-end torque, right for pontoons and heavy hulls)
Example: A "9.9 ELHPT Command Thrust ProKicker EFI FourStroke" means: 9.9 HP, electric start, long shaft, tiller handle, power trim, Command Thrust gearcase, set up as a ProKicker trolling motor, with EFI and four-stroke architecture.
A plain 9.9 MH (manual start, tiller, no trim) sits at the bottom of the lineup. The ProKicker stacks features on top of features. Both are legitimate, the right one depends on what you're doing with it.
Current Mercury outboard prices by HP class
The full current Mercury outboard lineup we sell, grouped by HP class. The pricing tables on the live page are generated from the same data the rest of mercuryrepower.ca uses, so prices stay in sync site-wide. Tables not duplicated here, see the live page or the configurator for the full motor-by-motor pricing list. Below is the narrative context that goes with it.
What changes the price within a class
- Tiller vs. remote: Remote (electric start, cable or hydraulic steering) adds $300-$1,500 over tiller.
- Shaft length: Long (20") fits most boats. Extra long (25") is $100-$200 more. Measure your transom before you order.
- Power trim: Adds $400-$600. Worth it for motors that are going in and out of weedy water regularly.
- Command Thrust: Adds $400-$1,000. Designed for pontoons and heavy hulls. If you're mounting a 9.9 on a pontoon as a trolling motor, this is the right gearcase.
Things to know about the mid-range tier
Command Thrust matters on some pontoons. On a 60-115 HP pontoon, compare tube count, loaded weight, capacity plate, intended speed, watersports use, and propeller options. The configured price difference changes by motor, and the benefit must be judged on the actual hull rather than a promised payback.
Pontoon HP sizing reality. A 20 ft pontoon needs at least 60 HP CT to get up on plane reliably with a normal cottage load. 90 CT is the sweet spot for most. 115 CT is for tritoons or anyone who tows tubes regularly. Underbuying the motor is one of the most common mistakes we see. The capacity plate is the ceiling, not a suggestion.
Pro XS vs. standard FourStroke at 115 HP. Both run on the same 2.1L inline-4 platform. The FourStroke is tuned for smooth cruising and fuel economy. The Pro XS is tuned for hole-shot and a higher RPM ceiling.
Price difference between the two at 115 HP is small, roughly $400 ($17,083 dealer price for 115ELPT FourStroke vs $17,490 for 115ELPT Pro XS, before HST). For a family bowrider or pontoon, take the FourStroke. For a bass boat or anyone who wants snappier acceleration, take the Pro XS.
Things to know about the V6 and V8 tier
The 150 FourStroke is our most common repower for 19-21 ft bowriders. It's lighter than the V6 motors in the band above (Mercury 150 inline-4 FourStroke is roughly 206 kg (455 lb) vs. the V6 200 FourStroke at roughly 215 kg (475 lb)). The weight savings get more meaningful when you step up to heavier competing 200-class motors, the discontinued inline-4 supercharged Verado 200 sat around 231 kg (510 lb), and older Yamaha 200-class V6 motors typically land in the 238-254 kg (525-560 lb) range. It gets better fuel economy, and has more than enough power for skiing, tubing, and cruising Rice Lake or Lake Simcoe.
All-in installed cost. For a V6 repower, add $2,500-$5,000 for SmartCraft / VesselView controls and rigging, $600-$1,200 for prop selection, and the on-water test (included). Old motor removal and disposal are typically included in the install quote. A 150 HP FourStroke repower at Harris Boat Works typically lands at $25,000-$28,000 all-in, before HST and before any trade-in credit. A 225 Pro XS repower typically lands at $36,000-$39,000.

Verado is special order. If you're looking at a V8, V10, or V12 Verado (250-600 HP, all naturally aspirated), call us directly at 905-342-2153. We'll quote it properly.
What's different about buying Mercury at a Premier dealer
Mercury dealer certification runs Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Premier. Premier requires factory training across every Mercury family, full G3 diagnostic equipment, demonstrated service volumes, stocked parts inventory, and top-tier Customer Satisfaction Index scores.
For the motor price itself, Premier and Bronze dealers are generally within a few hundred dollars of each other. The difference shows up in warranty work, complex diagnostics, repower expertise, parts availability, and what happens when something goes wrong three years after the sale.
Harris Boat Works has been a Mercury dealer since 1965. We've been Premier for over a decade. Some GTA customers drive 90 minutes to Gores Landing to buy here. That's not because we're the lowest price on every single model. It's because when we quote something, that's the price, and when you need service, you're not starting over with a stranger.
Mercury promotional pricing and coverage
Mercury Canada runs promotions through the season: spring repower season (March-May), summer in-stock pushes (July-August), and fall "buy now for spring" windows (September-November).
Mercury promotions can include cash rebates, financing incentives, or additional coverage when the written offer explicitly says so. The current financing path is TD "Always On" at 5.48% APR through December 31, 2026, see the financing guide for terms. Check current promotions before comparing any offer.
Eligible new Mercury outboards for pleasure use in Canada include a 3-year limited warranty and a separate 3-year corrosion warranty. The two periods run concurrently, not as six stacked years. Additional promotional coverage applies only when written promotion terms explicitly include it. Check the promotions page for current terms.
