-

Mercury Marine has added V8 4.6-litre engines in 200, 225, 250 and 300hp to its Pro XS range, along with an all-new V6 3.4-litre 175hp model. The new lightweigh­t four-stroke range delivers higher performanc­e with better fuel economy, reliabilit­y and durability. The latest 200-300hp Pro XS models are built on Mercury’s new 4.6-litre V8 engine platform which weighs only 229 kilograms. V8 Pro XS models deliver up to 16% better fuel economy at cruise. The new 175hp Pro XS model is built on the 3.4-litre V6 platform. The fuel-efficient, lightweigh­t (213kg) Pro XS 175hp engine delivers higher maximum RPM at full throttle. V8s come with either digital or mechanical controls and both V8 and V6 Pro XS models sip Regular Unleaded (91 RON) fuel. Advanced Range Optimisati­on improves cruise-speed fuel efficiency and alternator output is boosted automatica­lly while trolling. Adaptive Speed Control automatica­lly maintains RPM, regardless of changes in load. Other features include a top cowl service door and factory-painted Pro Black polycarbon­ate accent panels to personalis­e your Mercury Pro XS outboard.
