KEY FEATURES

Engine:

• 9.0L – 90 degree DOHC V-8
  • Aluminum block and heads for reduced weight
    • Designed/Developed/Produced by Mercury Racing
  • Durable NiCom® coated aluminum cylinder bores
    • NiCom coating improves heat transfer and durability
• Quad cam, four valve (QC4v) design optimizes power and torque throughout the engine operating RPM range
  • Intake and exhaust port flow is significantly improved over conventional 2-valve heads
  • Overhead cam design extends the operating rpm range
  • Fuel efficiency rewards of 20 to 30% vs. similarly rated engines
  • Improved durability
  • Twin, water cooled turbochargers yield better performance, fuel economy and sound quality and reduce noise
• Electronic turbo-compressor management delivers a broad "mesa shaped" torque curve under all operating conditions
• Integral exhaust system designed and developed specifically for QC4v
  • Pulse separated exhaust tuning (from Mercury Racing's expertise in high performance 2-stroke engines) improves low RPM turbocharger response
• Closed Cooled
  • Enhanced corrosion resistance and improved engine cooling
  • Same corrosion protection level as Racing's robust 8.2L products
• Higher level of integration
  • A "clean sheet" design provided the opportunity to optimize accessory and marinization design and layout
  • Designed for ease of OEM installation
• Dressed to Thrill
  • Optional turbo inlet and front cover kit for those who prefer style over the look of technology
  • Multiple engine and drive color options

Corrosion:

• Closed cooling
• The charge cooler is made of a military specification alloy for excellent corrosion resistance

Advanced Electronics:

• Propulsion Control Module (PCM) microprocessor with Mercury Racing developed software
• Digital Throttle and Shift
  • Single-turn "SmartStart"
  • Automatic throttle synchronization
  • "Shadow mode" (where two levers control three or four engines)
• Engine Guardian: real-time, self-protection engine fault diagnostics and messaging
• Sequential fuel and spark
  • Provides excellent fuel economy and run quality
• 105 amp charging system (50% more output compared to competitive models) - ample power supply for today's advanced marine electronics

Regulatory:

• Meets future EPA and CARB exhaust emissions regulations

Propulsion System:

• All new hydraulic transmission to handle the 1100's high torque
  • 35% more friction surface
  • Improved design and materials
• Dry-sump NXT1 SSM with gear ratios from 1.15:1 to 1.42:1
  • Features the legendary Six drive with the new M Series transom plate
  • For lighter, very fast boats
• Dry-sump M8 drive with 1.5:1 or 1.7:1 gear ratio
  • For richly appointed, very fast boats
• M8 drive combines best features of the dry-sump NXT1 and Six drives
  • Surface piercing gearcase, packed with heavy-duty components, is designed specifically to handle the 1 higher torque
  • Delivers 35% more capacity than the legendary Six drive
  • Two inches shorter resulting in an overall lower center of gravity for improved handling and overall boat performance
  • Features twin pinion gear shaft design (first patented by Mercury for outboard racing back in the 1950s)
  • Innovative design splits the torque load for a high power capacity while maintaining a slim gear housing shape for hydrodynamic efficiency
  • Dry-sumped for maximum power-output
  • An active anode enhances corrosion resistance by adjusting its current to the protection need
• New Pro Finish 5 & 6-blade CNC sterndrive propellers are designed with stamina for the 1350's massive torque and surface piercing impact
  • The props are backed with a 1-year factory warranty when used on Mercury Racing engine packages

Warranty/Service:

• 1-year limited for recreational boating
• Maintenance is less frequent when compared to competitive product
  • Twice as long between oil changes
  • Three times as long between valve adjustments and rebuilds
  • Easy access to maintenance points
    • Convenient winterization
• Supported by the world's largest marine service network of dealers
• Backed by the Mercury Racing's Total Engine Application Management (T.E.A.M.) accreditation process
  • Factory approved integration process for Mercury Racing sterndrive marine propulsion systems
  • Requires training of the entire OEM boat builder and dealer staff involved with the installation of the Mercury Racing propulsion system
  • Result: quicker installation and reduced warranty claims with the aim of greater customer satisfaction
