 MerCruiser MPI engines with SmartCraft™ feature the most sophisticated boat/engine data-management system available. This system monitors up to 64 internal and external functions and continuously adjusts the engine operations for optimum performance.
The Black Scorpion features the powerful ECM 555, for unmatched engine-management capabilities.
The 555 control module enables boat manufacturers to offer state-of-the-art digital information displays like the Mercury-exclusive SC5000 System View, a small computer screen that allows the driver to easily monitor and verify real-time engine and boat data.
MerCruiser multiport fuel injection (MPI) system features high-quality marine-specific componentry for unmatched performance and increased throttle response.
It also provides dependable turn-key starts, optimized fuel/air distribution to each cylinder, digital electronic spark advance, idle speed control, & automatic adjustment for atmospheric & elevation changes for reliable performance.
Engine Guardian™ proactively monitors and protects your engine from the damaging effects of low oil pressure, high engine pressure, engine over-speed, or low cooling water pressure.
The Engine Guardian system not only detects and alerts you of an engine problem, it automatically reduces power to a safe level that allows you to continue operating. |
Dry-joint exhaust system eliminates a potential leak path, reduces a buildup of condensation and decreases the threat of water ingestion for longer engine life.
Exclusive low-profile air intake system combines a massive 90 mm throttle body with the MerCruiser® multiport fuel injection system to produce 365 ft lbs of hole-shooting torque.
Exclusive Tunnel Ram intake manifold draws on racing technology for maximum power & exceptional throttle response.
To make winterization easier, color-coded drain plugs are located on the engine block, exhaust manifolds and the circulating pump hose. The blue drain plugs are hand-removable and require no tools.
Water-cooled & insulated fuel system helps keep fuel temperatures down & greatly reduces potential of vapor lock.
Audio warning system that alerts boater of low oil pressure, high water temperature & excessive transmission temperature.
3-year/300-hour maintenance interval for most scheduled maintenance on all gas models. Some scheduled and routine maintenance is required more frequently as specified in the engine owner's manuals. |
