    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.

    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

    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??

    I understand you can get somewhere quick, but how the hell do you fish with those in the way?

    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.
