Precision Trolling: Dominate the Hunt with Mercury ProKicker

For the serious angler, fishing isn't just a hobby—it’s a discipline. It requires patience, strategy, and equipment that can perform with surgical precision. At Mercury Marine, we understand that the difference between a record catch and a quiet day often comes down to boat control. That is why we engineered the Mercury ProKicker™ family, the industry standard for precision trolling performance.

Built to complement your main power, a ProKicker outboard is the ultimate tool for dialing in the perfect presentation.

Born from the Pro Team

The ProKicker wasn't just designed in a lab; it was born from the expertise of the Mercury Pro Team—the world's most accomplished tournament anglers. Their input helped us refine every detail to ensure elite performance. From the way the engine idles to how it handles in heavy current, every aspect of a ProKicker is "Fishing-First."

Dialed-In Trolling Authority

Successful trolling requires more than just moving slowly; it requires absolute speed control.

• High-Thrust Performance: Every ProKicker features a deep gearcase and a custom-matched, four-blade, high-thrust propeller. This setup provides the extra "bite" needed to move heavy boats through rough water or heavy winds with ease.

• Precise Speed Adjustments: Whether you prefer a tiller or remote helm controls, the ProKicker allows you to lock in exact trolling speeds. On 25hp models, SmartCraft® Troll Control allows you to adjust your speed in 10-rpm increments, ensuring your lures are always running at the optimal depth and action.

Effortless Operation, Maximum Focus

When the bite is on, you shouldn't be wrestling with your engine. Mercury ProKicker engines are packed with features that keep your focus on the fish:

• Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI): Standard across the lineup, EFI ensures surefire, instant starts in all weather conditions and better fuel efficiency, so you can stay out until the limit is reached.

• The Fastest Power Tilt: Mercury ProKickers come standard with the fastest power tilt in the industry. With the push of a button, you can deploy the engine to start a drift or stow it quickly to move to the next honey hole.

• +1

• The Advanced Tiller: Our 15 and 25hp tiller models are a masterclass in ergonomics. They feature a reversible throttle grip for left- or right-handed use and a down-angle stop that keeps the handle at the perfect height for all-day comfort.

Quiet, Smooth, and Reliable

Stealth is a fisherman’s greatest ally. Our engineers balanced the ProKicker powerheads and utilized soft-rubber mounts to isolate vibration, directing it away from the boat. The result is an engine that is exceptionally quiet and smooth, allowing you to sneak up on the spookiest of fish while maintaining a conversation with your partner.

Go Boldly into the Hot Bite

The "Go Boldly" spirit is about having the confidence to push further and fish harder. With a high-output alternator to keep your electronics humming and a maintenance-free valve train for years of reliable service, the ProKicker is more than an auxiliary motor—it’s your most reliable fishing partner.
