The Mercury Mariner 240 HP M2 Jet Drive, produced from 1999 to 2004, is a powerful and versatile outboard motor designed for a wide range of applications, particularly those involving shallow water or rocky bottoms where traditional propeller-driven outboards might be hindered. This jet drive system utilizes a centrifugal pump to propel the vessel, creating a powerful jet of water that allows for operation in shallow water, over obstacles, and even in areas where propellers might be damaged. The 240 HP engine, characteristic of the Mariner brand, is known for its robust construction and reliable performance, making it a popular choice for bass fishing, watersports, and other recreational activities.

The M2 Jet Drive system offers several advantages over traditional propeller systems, including increased maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces or at low speeds. The absence of a propeller also eliminates the risk of damage from obstacles, making it ideal for navigating shallow waters or areas with rocky bottoms. The powerful jet propulsion system allows for efficient acceleration and cruising speeds, even when loaded with passengers or gear. Additionally, the Mercury Mariner 240 HP M2 Jet Drive provides a smooth and quiet operation, further enhancing the overall boating experience. This combination of power, versatility, and user-friendliness has made the Mercury Mariner 240 HP M2 Jet Drive a sought-after choice for boaters seeking a reliable and efficient outboard motor that can handle a variety of conditions.
