Features & Benefits

• OptiMax direct fuel injection improves fuel economy up to 60% at cruise speeds, meets 2004 CARB exhaust emission standards, and eliminates smoke.
  
• Variable-ratio oil injection eliminates the hassle of pre-mixing oil with fuel and automatically provides extra oil during break-in.
  
• A 3-gallon (US) remote oil tank with a separate engine-mounted reserve tank provides maximum range. Variable ratio mixing reduces oil consumption.
  
• Multi-point oil injection delivers oil exactly where its needed to further minimize oil consumption.
  
• Large 7.25" diameter pump pushes more water through the pump for greater thrust, superior effeciency, maximum acceleration and ski towing capability.
  
• Rubber-isolated engine mounting system isolates engine vibrations to give you a smooth, comfortable ride and never requires adjustments or alignment.
  
• Mercury-exclusive, patented XK360 aluminum alloy and unique multi-step painting process supplies industry-leading corrosion protection.
  
• Unique, multi-step painting process includes chemical treatment, EDP and chrome epoxy primers and abrasion resistant acrylic paint baked to a hard, corrosion-resistant finish.
  
• Corrosion warranty includes an industry-exclusive, 3-year limited corrosion failure warranty.
  
• Stainless steel impeller with variable pitch provides superior propulsive efficiency, performance and durability.
  
• Large displacement engine allows lower engine RPM and reduces stress on internal engine components which increases reliability and durability.
  
• Optional shift and steering cable bellows seal out water and debris and improves cable life, especially in saltwater environments.
  
• Self-sacrificing aluminum anodes guard against the effects of galvanic corrosion in a saltwater environment.
  
• Low maintenance pump requires only annual lubrication maintenance on all pump bearings, no need to disassemble pump parts to change oil.
  
• Parts and service support provide the customer with better worldwide access to parts and service than any other marine engine manufacturer.
  
• Adjustable trim plate adjusts boat attitude to compensate for minor boat bottom variations.
  
• Computer controlled starting offers optimum starting in all weather conditions. Most sophisticated system offered.
  
• Propulsion Control Module (PCM) engine controller rivals current automotive engine technology and provides state-of-the-art computerized engine management capabilities.
  
• SmartCraft compatible engine allows for up-to-the-second engine gauge information and gives advanced warning of possible problems.
  
• Self-draining cooling system eliminates worry about draining the cooling system after operating in cold temperatures. Reduces winterization costs.
  
• Engine protection systems protects the engine from or warns operator of adverse engine conditions.
  
• Automatic bilge siphon system keeps your engine compartment dry whenever the engine is running, even when the electric bilge pump fails to operate.
  
• Dual muffler through-transom exhaust with expansion chamber delivers unmatched quiet running for a more comfortable driving experience while enhancing engine performance.
