Mercury Racing for Sale in Riverside, CA

Mercury Racing builds the highest-output propulsion Mercury makes — purpose-built powerheads and closed-course competition outboards engineered for boats that run hard. Gearhead Marine stocks and rigs the Mercury Racing line in Riverside, CA: the R-series outboards from 60R through the 500R and the APX competition outboards. Matching Bravo XR sterndrive hardware is listed under Sterndrive. Racing power is not a trim level — it is different internals, different gearcases, different rigging and different service intervals. Sportmaster and Torque Master gearcases, camber and side-steer configurations, remote oil reservoirs and DTS controls all have to be matched to the hull and the way you run it. Our technicians rig these engines for poker runs, bass and tournament boats, and offshore performance hulls across Southern California, and we will tell you honestly when a standard Pro XS or Verado is the smarter buy. Call (951) 299-8024 with your hull, target speed and current setup for Mercury Racing pricing, lead times and rigging help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Mercury Racing 300R and a standard 300 HP outboard?

A 300R is a Mercury Racing engine, not a trim package. It uses different internals, a Sportmaster or Torque Master racing gearcase, higher-rpm calibration and racing-specific rigging, and it expects premium fuel and shorter service intervals. A standard 300 HP FourStroke or Pro XS is the better buy for most boats — call (951) 299-8024 and we will tell you honestly which one fits how you actually run.

What does XR mean on a Bravo drive?

XR marks Mercury Racing drive hardware. A Bravo XR is strengthened for the torque and sustained speeds racing power produces, and it carries Mercury Racing badging rather than standard MerCruiser badging. XR drives are not interchangeable with standard Bravo units on spec alone — call us with your engine and gear ratio.

Can I put Mercury Racing power on my boat?

It depends on transom rating, hull design and rigging. Racing outboards and Bravo XR drive gear place loads a standard hull may not be built for. Gearhead Marine will review your hull, transom and current setup before quoting — call (951) 299-8024.

Do you rig and service Mercury Racing engines in Riverside?

Yes. Our technicians rig and service the Mercury Racing line — R-series outboards, APX competition outboards and Bravo XR drive hardware — including gearcase, prop and DTS control setup. Mobile service is available to your marina or storage yard.
