Key Features

  • Exclusive low-profile air intake system combines a massive 90 mm throttle body with the MerCruiser multiport fuel injection system to produce 365 ft l
  • Custom 'S' pipe exhaust system maximizes power output, enhances engine design, and runs underneath transmission mounts, opening up more foot room insi
  • MerCruiser mulitport injection system provides dependable turn-key start , optimized fuel/air distribution to each cylinder, digital electronic spark
  • High-flow cylinder heads and advanced roller cam design provide up to 10-15 percent greater horsepower output for the same engine displacement.
  • One-piece serpentine belt means easier servicing, less maintenance, unsurpassed belt life, and requires less horsepower to drive the engine accessorie
  • Built-in flush system simplifies maintenance by allowing you to attach a garden hose to the engine flush port on top of the engine.
  • To make winterization easier, color-coded drain plugs are located on the engine block, exhaust manifolds, and the circulating pump hose. The blue drai
  • Powerful 65-amp/917 watt alternator easily compensates for extra power required by MPI systems and fully charges batteries for dependable starting and
  • Water-cooled and insulated fuel system helps keep fuel temperatures down and greatly reduces potential of vapor lock.

Captain's Report

  • All MerCruiser® gasoline engines are designed to run on 87-octane fuel making them less expensive to operate than engines that require a higher-octane rating.
  • Standard audio alarm system warns of low oil pressure, high water temperature, and excessive transmission temperature, reducing chances of engine or transmission damage.
  • Color-coded service points for easy identification of key service areas (yellow -engine oil; blue - engine coolant; brown - transmission fluid).
  • Engines incorporate roller valve lifters, improving efficiency for increased horsepower and performance.
  • 65-amp/917-watt alternator fully charges the battery for dependable starting with extra capacity to handle additional electrical accessories. Alternator is located high on the engine to avoid water contamination.
  • One-piece serpentine belt means easier servicing, less maintenance, unsurpassed belt life, and requires fewer horsepower to drive the engine accessories.
  • Heavy-duty water-circulating pump uses a stainless steel shaft, bronze impeller and special seal for long life.
  • Sealed flywheel housing protects starter from water damage for added resistance to the elements.
  • 50-amp/706-watt circuit breaker is standard to help prevent overloading of the electrical system and is easy to reset, eliminating the need for troublesome fuses.
  • Remote water-separating fuel filter ensures dependable starts and performance by removing water and solid particles from fuel before they reach the fuel system.
  • Water-cooled and insulated fuel system helps keep fuel temperatures down and greatly reduces potential of vapor lock for added reliability on today's higher-horsepower fuel-injected engines.
  • The engine, including the alternator, is painted for better corrosion protection.
  • High-capacity seawater pump utilizes plastic pump body and stainless steel end plate and shaft for increased durability and corrosion protection.
  • Electro Deposition Painting (EDP) process used on engine as well as oil pan offers excellent protection from corrosive environments.
