Mercury bigfoot

[pete1949]

I have a 2002 Mercury 15hp bigfoot 4 stroke. What is the difference between a Bigfoot and a regular 15hp engine?

Re: Mercury bigfoot

bigfoot allows a bigger prop and goes deeper in the water it has bigger gears in it (Lower Unit). The intake for the water is towards the front of the LU rather than in the middle. Thats how you can tell the difference
