Tier 3?

**SouthernWake** · 02-10-2021, 06:32 AM

saw where they were releasing something.

I wonder if it is to compete with the Yamaha XTO in the big boat market?

I just don't see that being a V12...I installed hundreds of the V8 300's and the 450R's and they look identical in size comparison. I can attest that there was no more space under those cowlings for 4 more cylinders.

These look pretty big

those are not 600s....they are the 4.6l V8 400s.

Stickers or photoshop

ETA: Hell, they didn't even use the 450R cowling for the fake photos

I'm going to put one on the back of a scarab and rule the f'n locks.

The cool thing about them is you can flip a switch and they will run off of electricity.

I thought Mercury was just now releasing a 450 HP this year?

I still would love to have me a Merc offshore racing engine

450R has been around a couple years.

The boss man had a demo on these 600s a couple months ago. That's a 46 Vahalla they ore on. Also had a set on a big Regal cruiser.

So they over-powered the 46 VH by 600 HP??

Yes. Actually by a little more. Ratings can be changed. We just changed our 247 from 300 to 350 to accomidate the Mercs.

The whole motor doesn't rotate when turned. The powerhead and upper stay stationary and only the lower unit turns.

Damn....thats wild. Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen with joysticks, anchor mode, etc

You can't give away a big boat with Zeus or IPS drives these days

Just saw a video of that. Pretty cool.

Edit... I see a video has been posted here too. Typed too soon.
