Mercury Racing unveiled their new 1300 and 1350hp turbo engines along with their new M8 drive at the Miami Boat Show last month. Double R Performance will be stocking these engines upon their release this fall. Please see attached Specifications:

ENGINE

* At 1300 hp, this is the fastest, most powerful engine Mercury Racing has ever introduced
* Turbo-compressor induction delivers a punch from holeshot to peak rev range, while pulse-timed exhaust tuning keeps turbos spooled, eliminating lag altogether
* Monster, mesa-shaped torque curve ensures unwavering power through entirety of runtime by controlling boost and regulating torque at high engine outputs
* Quad cam, four-valve, port fuel injection, and dry-sump efficiency deliver massive amounts of power with 9-liter displacement, matching high-performance marine propulsion with luxury-car-like drivability
* 6500 RPM redline adrenalizes boat and boater alike
*Cylinder heads sport two cam shafts for a more robust valve train and enhanced power

DRIVELINE

* 35% stronger driveline and tough new CNC propellers allow engine to endure in both treacherous and ideal offshore conditions
* M8 surface-piercing sterndrive with hydraulic transmission handles high torque and power levels with ease for improved handling and exceptional performance

FUEL ECONOMY

* 20-30% greater fuel economy rewards boaters with more on-water time than ever before
* Common rail port injection and four-valve delivery reduces the total amount of fuel pumped and heightens metering accuracy
* Both 1300 and 1350 are compliant with EPA and CARB emissions requirements, increasing their range without worry of stringent laws and regulations

LASTS LONGER

* Durable NiCom®-coated aluminum cylinder bores improve heat transfer and are one element which enables an increase in overall engine lifespan by up to an unprecedented 100%
* Charge cooler is made of military-specification alloy so cooler corrosion is an enemy boaters don’t have to fight
* M8 drive increases power capacity by 35% over our world-champion Six drive, plus comes standard with an active anode for enhanced corrosion resistance
* One-year factory warranty and support from world’s largest marine service dealer network and Mercury Racing’s T.E.A.M. accreditation program provides the best coverage in the industry
