Mercury 65HP 65ELPT EFI Jet Outboard – 20″ Shaft
The 65-horsepower Mercury 65ELPT EFI uses jet-drive propulsion and a 20-inch shaft for compatible applications. Jet drive reduces exposed propeller hardware for shallow-water operation, while EFI supports controlled fuel delivery and the shaft length suits compatible transoms.

Common Question of Mercury 65ELPT Jet
Is the 65ELPT a jet outboard?
Yes. The Mercury 65ELPT is identified as an EFI jet outboard with a 20-inch shaft. Jet propulsion uses an intake, pump, impeller, and steering nozzle instead of an exposed propeller. Verify intake clearance, cooling flow, controls, fuel system, and boat compatibility before installing this high performance outboard motor.
Does it use fuel injection?
Yes. The EFI designation identifies an electronic fuel injection system for controlled fuel delivery during starting and operation. Jet performance depends on clean intake flow and correct mounting. Keep sand, gravel, weeds, and debris away from the intake, and confirm the complete package before purchase.
What transom fits its shaft?
A 20-inch transom is the intended match for this 65ELPT jet configuration. Measure the hull and verify intake clearance before installation. Correct mounting supports water flow, cooling, thrust delivery, and steering response. Proper measurements support a correctly installed ready to bolt marine outboard package.
