There is growing interest in the Joystick
Piloting for Outboards (JPO) technology that
works in combination with Mercury Digital
Throttle & Shift (DTS) for full joystick docking.
The electronic fobs work off of
Mercury's Theft Deterrent System (TDS).
The Race/Pleasure key fobs provide the
operator visual cues via an interactive
VesselView display. One key fob controls
the horsepower output of multiple
engines. The Theft Deterrent System
(TDS) disables the vessel when an
assigned electronic key is not engaged.
The dual calibration enhances consumer
value by offering essentially two engines in
one, both backed by a factory warranty.
The 9.0-liter quad cam four valve
(QC4v) cylinder block and head design,
combined with SmartCraft Digital
Throttle & Shift (DTS), provides big
power with luxury-car-like drivability.
4.5L 200hp sterndrive unit
A clever application of computer technology allows the owner to
change out the key fob on his Mercury Racing QC4v 1550 engine
dialling it up to the full power output when racing fuel is available, or
down to 1350 hp when the best available is premium pump fuel.
The 4.5L 200hp sterndrive is the newest
horsepower version of the new V6 block
that was designed and is manufactured
at Mercury Marine's world headquarters
in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The 4.5L
200hp is based on the 4.5L 250hp
sterndrive introduced by Mercury in
May 2014.
The MerCruiser 4.5L established new
standards for acceleration and overall
performance with design innovations
such as a long runner scrolled intake
manifold and high displacement, which produces an outstanding power-to-weight ratio.
The 4.5L delivers maximum fuel efficiency and exceptionally quiet operation. Its newly designed rear-facing throttle
body, anti-whistle throttle plate, engine cover and mounts,
lightweight flywheel, fuel supply module, and structural oil
pan all work together to deliver superior sound quality and
smoothness from idle all the way through the power band for
a better boating experience.
A really neat feature that will be especially appreciated by
the tow sports crowd is that the 4.5L V-6 also offers Adaptive
Speed Control (ASC), which automatically maintains the set
rpm point regardless of load or condition changes, such as
tight turns, tow sports and lower speeds on plane. The result
is increased throttle response and a "sportier" feel for the driver, who no longer has to make continual throttle-control
adjustments.
As John Pfeifer told us back in January, Mercury Marine is
committed to product leadership and this stable of new
engines is clear proof of that commitment!
