It weighs a bit more according to MERCURY, 497 for the large 3L 200 OPTI and 510 for the 4 cylinder VERADO. Also remember that MERCURY doesn't count anything else in the weight of the VERADO than the engine, midsection and lower unit. They strip them down to essentually only what is required to make them run and drain the oils out and use that weight number.
