Axopar 37

The Axopar 37 is a walkaround day boat for two outboards from Axopar Boats of Finland, which designs its boats in Finland and builds them in Poland; the engines were never part of the boat price. The first generation, which Axopar calls Mark 1 (model years 2016–2019, 11.20 m), came as T-Top, C T-Top, Cabin, AC, Sun-Top and SC; for model year 2020 the boat was redrawn with a new 11.50 m twin-stepped hull and sold as Spyder, Sun-Top and XC Cross Cabin, so hull, deck and most fittings differ between the two. The second generation got a Mercury V10 pre-rig in 2024, a higher power limit of 2 × 400 hp from model year 2025 and the Iconic Edition trim package in 2025, and in 2026 it is still built next to a completely new model, the Axopar 38. Axopar counts more than 3,000 boats sold and names the 37 the best-selling outboard boat of 35–40 ft in the US in 2024 and 2025, so used boats and parts come up often.

Equipment & its manuals

Standard equipment as the builder’s documents list it. Boats were ordered with options and refitted since — check what is actually aboard.

OutboardMercury Verado L61,2,3,4Mark 1: on the MY2017 price list an option, the Mercury pre-rig for one or two Verado L6 with VesselView 702 (a preparation for other makes’ steering was offered too); the MY2019 model pages recommend 2 × 350 XL Verado L6—Axopar never included engines in the boat price; the dealer supplied them. Mercury Active Trim was an add-on to the Mercury pre-rig. Axopar’s figures for 2 × 350 XL Verado L6: 2.6 l/nm at 30 kn, top speed 49 kn.
OutboardMercury 300 XL Verado V8 × 23,4,5Mark 1, MY2019 model pages: one of the two engine choices Axopar recommended, the other being 2 × 350 XL Verado L6—Axopar’s figures: 2.6 l/nm at 28 kn, top speed 47 kn. Mercury presented the new Verado V8 300 on an Axopar 37 Sun-Top in May 2018.

The pre-rig kit brings a Mercury heavy-duty steering cylinder, the Verado tilt helm, SmartCraft DTS controls and a diagnostic port in the console. All of Axopar’s consumption figures are for 2 × 300 hp Mercury. The MY2022 list also offers a preparation for other makes’ steering up to 2 × 300 hp.
OutboardMercury Verado V10 × 210,11Second generation: option from the ‘V10 update’ that the wiring diagrams of the MY2020–2024 manuals note, and on the lists of autumn 2025, also as a JPO version—Engines are not included in the boat price. The V10 came with the higher power limit (2 × 400 hp in the manuals from model year 2025); the wiring diagrams note that the battery isolators were changed to Mastervolt for the V10 update.
Steering—12,6,13All versions, standard: hydraulic with tilting wheel; second generation with or without power assist, with JPO a Mercury electro-hydraulic power steering—The owner’s manual asks you to check the oil level in the helm pump before casting off; use the oil the steering maker specifies.
AutopilotMercury Joystick Piloting for Outboards (JPO)6,7,8,11,13,14Second generation from model year 2020: option with the V8 pre-rig, on the lists of autumn 2025 also with the V10; autopilot with heading and route modes and the Skyhook digital anchor—Part of the ‘JPO installation’ pre-rig, with electro-hydraulic power steering and DTS.

An enclosed toilet compartment, with optional shower and automatic sump pump, is an option from 2020.
Bow thrusterSide-Power SE6012,7,11,6,14,13,15,10All model years 2016–2026: option; the tunnel is moulded into every hull, so the thruster can be added later—Single propeller in a 185 mm GRP tunnel, joystick on the dashboard, own Aux battery with a separate main switch; 4080 W in the wiring diagram. The manual allows four runs of at most 30 seconds in 25 minutes. A Sleipner SX50 stern thruster appears for the second generation in the MY2025 and 2025/26 price lists and in the XC wiring diagrams.

Good to know

  • Mark 1 (11.20 m, 2015–2019) and the second generation (11.50 m, from 2020) share the name but not the hull, deck or most fittings. The hull identification number on the starboard side of the stern tells them apart: on second-generation boats it reads like FI-AXO7A001F920, where 7A, 7B or 7C stands for Spyder, Sun-Top or XC and the last two digits give the model year.13,12,7
  • The fuel tank lies in the middle of the keel; its valves and the water-separating fuel filter are under the driver’s seat. Check the filter for water regularly, and twice a year and before winter check the tank compartment: a thin hose pushed down the aluminium pipe on top of the tank reaches its lowest point, and a wet-dry vacuum empties it.13
  • Bow thruster and bow windlass run on a separate Aux battery in the bow with its own main switch. A weak thruster is often just this battery; the manual limits the Side-Power SE60 to four runs of at most 30 seconds in 25 minutes.13,6
  • Axopar sold the boat without engines, so rigs vary: Mercury 350 Verado L6 or 300 Verado V8 on late Mark 1 boats, Mercury V8 and later V10 pre-rigs on the second generation. On a used boat, check for VesselView or VesselLink, DTS controls and, on JPO boats, the joystick and Skyhook.3,6,11
  • US-market boats have the EPA fuel system (Perko overfill prevention, carbon canister in the tank vent line), European boats do not, so fuel-system parts differ by market; the appendices to the current manuals show the fuel system with a parts list.6,13,33
  • For wiring work, the MY2020–2024 owner’s manuals (32 and 47 MB) contain the complete electrical drawings with makes and fuse ratings; from model year 2025 they moved to the separate appendices. Mark 1 owners will not find their manuals on the portal: Axopar’s link leads to a SharePoint folder that asked for a Microsoft sign-in in October 2026, so ask an Axopar dealer for a copy.14,10,33,20
