Mercury 90 HP ELPT Command Thrust FourStroke Outboard Motor

When you are pushing a heavier boat, a larger pontoon, or a heavy-duty fishing rig, you need more than just standard horsepower. You need maximum leverage and lifting power. The Mercury 90 HP ELPT Command Thrust combines the lightweight, fuel-efficient 2.1L FourStroke powerhead with a larger, heavy-duty gearcase and a 2.38:1 gear ratio. This allows the motor to swing a larger diameter propeller, getting heavy hulls on plane faster, improving mid-range cruising efficiency, and delivering superior low-speed maneuvering.

At Resorters Marine & Outdoors, the price on our motors is for it being rigged on your boat and water-ready, making it completely hassle-free for the customer. Plus, every new Mercury motor comes backed by a factory 3-year warranty for complete peace of mind on the water. No surprise shop fees and no added setup costs. Just hook up your boat, launch, and head out on the water.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between standard Mercury 90 ELPT and Command Thrust?

The standard Mercury 90 uses a smaller gearcase with a 2.07:1 ratio, which is great for lighter aluminum boats. The Command Thrust version uses a larger, heavy-duty gearcase with a 2.38:1 ratio. This lets you run larger propellers to generate extra thrust and lift for heavy pontoons, fibreglass hulls, or loaded fishing vessels.

Does your price cover mounting and rigging?

Yes! Our listed price includes complete mounting and rigging on your boat, making it completely hassle-free and 100% water-ready with zero surprise charges.
