    Every time I thought he was already in it I hear the turbos spool up even higher

      came to comments to basically say the same thing.. every time i thought he was WOT , the throttle got wider opener..lol

    Catalysts are required today for gas sterndrive engines up to 500 hp. engines. Lambda (02) sensors are utilized mostly to keep the engine operating in the vary narrow band that makes the catalyst most efficient. The precious metals used in the catalysts are expensive, so maintaining tighter control improves durability while allowing the manufacturer to load the catalyst with less metal. Ensuring the boat is set up, trimmed and loaded correctly has a much greater impact on fuel economy.

    They are our quad cam, four valve 1350 sterndrives which feature twin turbochargers.

    Fantastic. Merc has hit a home run with those 1350's. The 50 is a beautiful machine.

    1). Nothing to correct regarding the turbos. In the boat, all one hears is wind noise. For this video, the camera microphone had a direct shot to the four turbo intakes, so the turbo whistle recorded on the video is exaggerated.
    2) The engine block, heads and inlet air are closed loop cooled. The heat exchangers, exhaust manifolds and turbo hot section are raw water cooled. Other than the actual heat exchangers, most of the cooling system is integrated into the castings.
    3) Includes M8.

    Wow! That power package is quiet for a gas powered boat in fact one MTI cat with the same turbo DOHC 9litre/1350 package ran so quiet(World offshore-KeyWest'11) I swore that boat was running Lycoming turbines,it had the speed like a turbine too!

  • @turkt2249
    @turkt2249 10 лет назад

    I found at first it was trimmed to low but boy! That thing must have one heck of a hull design to be trimmed that low and using all of the power to the water and still give a good ride! Nice!

  • @highvelocity123
    @highvelocity123 12 лет назад +1

    I have been boating for 30 yrs and I am always amazed how far behind the times boat motors have been...The turbo concept makes so much sense for boats, along with fuel injection, etc. Are we going to see 02 sensors anytime soon as standard equipment, I wonder?? How hard is it to re-design an exhaust header or manifold...? why not make the most efficient running motor possible, since boats are horrible in-effecient by nature.

  • @mercuryracingofficial
    @mercuryracingofficial  12 лет назад +3

    One partial top off to be safe, although we could have gone all the way. 1350's get 25-30% better fuel economy than 1075's.

  • @ajfisher1

  • @mercuryracingofficial

    Cost depends on a number of things, new vs. used; the size of the boat, the size/power of the propulsion package(s) installed and optional accessories included.

    Sweet ride, even though it may seem quite to some, I'm sure wearing hearing protection would be a good idea.

    Poker runs are organized recreational boating events with hundreds of boats participating. They are not a race in which the first to the destination is the winner. Card stops and a lunch stop are involved and there are many "no wake zones" along the way. It was a full day with friends enjoying a common passion for performance boating.

  • @bobl78
    @bobl78 12 лет назад

    The same for piston aircraft engines. Until today pilots have to concern about mixture settings and complicated procedures for startup and finding best mixture during cruise..... and if they use fuel injection, its mechanical and mixture settings are still necessary... dont understand that... do pilots learn to fly because its so interesting to set mixture for the engine ?

  • @Smokin07ram

    Can't wait to see the 1350s run in an Outerlimits 40-43SV!
    Can you say 160-165mphin a V-hull?! :)

  • @TurboGSR96
    @TurboGSR96 12 лет назад

    I know if you pair exhaust pules correctly in the exhaust manifolds with equal length runners and use a divided collector on the manifold, you get better spool when paired with a divided turbine housing ... this is no secret in the auto racing world, nor are variable geometry turbine housings on the turbo's.

  • @goropeza101
    @goropeza101 12 лет назад

    Tom Gentry was right! His Turbo-Eagle engines powered many boats to record speeds and Gentry himself set a few,unfortunately it cost him his life back in the mid90's.

    every time i thought he was WOT , the throttle got wider opener..lol .. ugh i hate things that make me feel poor ..though i'm not .. but i'm not doing marauder good..lol.. i'm looking at buying a '79 Cigarette Awesome with twin n/a 650 hp each mercs.. i have a bi-turbo V8 Audi and a bi-turbski V6 Audi ..so i naturally love the engine on these 1350's .. always thought it would be fun to repower a 25'-28' boat with a couple bi-turbo 4.2 Audi engines.. 450hp - 420 TQ stock.. 575 hp/610 TQ with a '93' tune ..light and good on fuel, 7500 redline.. be a fun experiment.. i saw someone repower a 18 foot boat with a 3.0 6 cyl Audi diesel ..went 49 mph ...lol

  • @highvelocity123
    @highvelocity123 12 лет назад

    I was thinking more that o2 sensors help create the 14.7-1 air to fuel ratio..giving the most effecient burn possible,,,cold and hot.,,light or heavy load. We don't run emissions on boats in NJ yet so not too concerned about that, our season is 3-4 months. Your right though...set up is important,,but I think all aspects of fuel economy add up, not just one thing. Turbo's are the future, no doubt.

  • @highvelocity123
    @highvelocity123 12 лет назад

    Gentry,,that name sounds so familiar. Did he race Unlimited Hydroplane...I know he built some fast boats, I have heard his name being annouced at boating events.

    @misterb917 12 лет назад

    Awesome video. I have 3 questions.
    1)The turbochargers seem to make a very high pitched shriek at upper throttle, almost to the point of unbearable. Are you working on correcting this?
    2) There is a video of Fred Kiekhaefer discussing this engine and saying it is aluminum block and heads. Does the engine used a closed loop cooling system? What does this cooling system look like?
    3) Does the listed weight of engine ~1720 lbs include the M8?

    • @jimmycline4778

  • @Godscountry2732
    @Godscountry2732 11 лет назад

    Lots of drag,between aerodynamic loses and drag,its hard to get a real efficient setup.Turbo diesel would be the way to go.But I'm not sure by what you mean by behind the times,marine engines have 02 sensors,fuel injection etc.The most efficient motor in the world can't overcome all that drag abpove and below..Nano technology may allow new types of coatings or large scale 3 D printers may be able to print a more efficent surface coatings on the hull,more aerodynamic boat designs
