Mercury V6 3.4L is the new FourStroke and combines power with lightness to give more acceleration and less fuel consumption. There’s three powersteps: 175, 200 and 225 HP.
The American manufacturer sticks to the choice of large displacement blocks, still featuring light construction. This solution makes the engine more reliable and torquey, without being “squeezed” for horse power. The new engine just debuted, at 2018 Miami Boat Show.
It’s all advantages
Having a lighter engine means a better power to weight ratio, better performance and more efficiency, all to the advantage of fuel consumption. There’s four-valve distribution with overhead camshaft, while the shaft is designed to reduce water grip thanks to an accurate hydrodynamic research.
Comfortwise, American engineers invested many hours to reduce noise and vibration of the Mercury V6 3.4L, optimizing the configuration of the assembly system to create a perfect balance. The V-6 geometry is also fundamental in this respect, while the optimization of the ball bearings and of the oil flow reduces friction and the temperature of the oil for an even more efficient operation.
Last but not least, a rather different look, and the chance to choose among different colors: four main colors (Phantom Black, Pearl Fusion White, Warm Fusion White, Cold Fusion White, with the white options only available on the 200 and 225 models) and on top of that the possibility to customize the central part of the grille in four other colors (Pacific Blue, Graphite Gray, Redline Red and Mercury Silver).
