Well done Mercury. V12, two speed, lower steering unit & great design! Mercury is keeping the dream alive for outboard lovers at a time when Evinrude & Volvo/7 are ‘pulling the pin’.
This outboard is a game changer in so many ways, a balanced V12 engine, a 2 speed gearbox, an outboard where only the bottom turns, not the engine, it will be awesome to see this tech trickle down to the smaller outboards.
Love how Merc is taking over!! Gone from ok to top dog!! Love how Volvo dropped Seven Marine and boom you guys fill the void with this beast!! Props to you guys!!! I’ve just purchased a boat from Formula and they’ve finally released their new 500SSC with 4 of these beasts on the transom!! Yamaha engineers must be feeling the pressure!! 😂😂😂 I have a question...

Well next time show your work please, show it running not some dude sitting in a chair. Saying how exiting it is. I fell asleep, but props on the sweet project
Serviced one of the new 350 Mercs the other day and it was honestly the easiest maintenance I've ever had to do on a outboard and put Mercury back in my good books other manufacturers should take note. I won't bother making jokes about mounting this on any of my rather modest boats but I do look forward to the trickle down effect this will have on Mercs "smaller" offerings as well as the shakeup in the OBE industry this launch will cause.
@@mynameisschezuan Yea that makes sense. To drive 300 miles in a Tesla you need a 1500lbs battery and to do that with a gas vehicle you need 8 gallons of fuel
@@Gregg0112 your right but where will battery technology be in 10 years from now? Even if its there would never design a boat without a internal combustion generator to recharge if you run the batteries dead.
Just sold my 2020 Grady 370 with Trip Yammy 450’s and now I’m really glad I did. This new engine with all its features looks like a monumental leap forward! Naturally aspirated too!!! Can’t wait to peel the onion back and see numbers like fuel economy, sched maint. and top end on a 13-15 ton vessel. If it’s what they say it is, hats off Mercury! You’ve just earned a new customer.
Right on! There are some performance data charts on the Mercury website if you wish to have a look. To quickly address one comment you made, testing has shown a setup with twin 600hp Mercury engines had 20% better fuel economy at cruise, and 24% better fuel economy at WOT, than the competitor triple 450hp setup. 😀
Now, this v12 beast could power 43 open midnight Express and will make it the fastest center console in the world. Well done Mercury. One day if I could afford a 43 midnight Express or nor tech 45 I will certainly have a quint set up. Cheers to every employee ate Mercury racing.
I just spoke with a representative of Mercury Marine Peru, he alerted me to this news and I am a user of this line of engines (commercial line) for me it is more than motivating news in these times, it is to continue dreaming that our future will be better we will continue doing innovation plans with cutting edge technology.
The V12 costs almost twice as much as the house I live in now and it's a 4/2/2 almost 2000sqft. My fav boat is a blue/white Nortech 360 V with triple Merc 450s or maybe the new 400hp V10s depending on price.
This is the definition of beauty and perfection. Congratulations to the men that are involved especially whomevers idea it was to use a V12. Truley ELITE.
i'd like to buy just the outer shell of this engine to fit over the top of my 115hp. ...Also I wish i would have watched this video on a surround theatre system instead of tiny laptop.
Carl Kiekhaefer would be proud! I believe when he was still running the company he felt you just kept building bigger outboards. But others felt you had to start building stern drives with the bigger engines, because at the time they didn't think outboards could get any bigger after they had the 90hp.
Volvo Penta's IPS inboard system have been using a steerable gearcase for many years. Volvo's system also allows 360 degree rotation to achieve full dynamic positioning control using a joystick. I don't understand why Mercury didn't go for a similar setup here. Seems like a lost opportunity.
Awesome....I have been working on outboards since 1976.. Mercury all brands. Very impressed. We have two 300 Verado 2015 year. Excellent motors. I had 2.5 racing motor s unmatched in performance by Japan. Japanese Electrical parts are the finest long lasting I admit that but Mercury has really improved from the old days of power packs etc. Name this motor "Black Maximus"

They have great vision and even greater engineers.
@@Ole_CornPop True, _IF_ the transom is beefy enough to hold that weight at least for mono-hulls. And if you can keep the center-of-gravity for the boat at least close to where it was designed, VERY important with cats especially.
two speed transmission , "get up" and "gone" First and second respectfully...reminds me of the powerglide transmission in my 1970 Chevy Kingswood station wagon

The 27” mounting center is an amazing achievement for the hp-category 👏 (as is the weight/power ratio). But I would’ve expected 26” center since my understanding is that this is based on the existing V6/V8 outboards, so the engine block should share the same width, only stacking more cylinders.

GO MERCURY!!!!!!
these bad boys r fierce.
Wow, didnt see this coming..
I suspect Yamaha are feeling a little irelevent with their XTO.
Yamaha probably's got something in the works.. supercharged V8 XTO or something along those liines ... but yeah, this Merc is a fine beast!
Just be glad u dont run an evinrude
That was another sad day in boating
@@supremeleaderarmy9164 already mis evinrude😢

I dont miss towing them on lotw
Beautiful piece of engineering.
Really cool innovation! Good job. How many cold cranking amps would I need to start one of these bad boys?
what if you had 5 or 6 on your transom !
Small nuclear reactor.
Is there a pull start options?
If you need to ask, you can’t crank it
It has a kick starter...
Can't wait for the V14.
I think I’ll wait till the 750hp supercharged model comes out
I don't think it ever will.
I too reckon Merc Racing will chuck some hot sauce on this for sure!! 750/800 is my guess...
@@mcplutt - ummm that’s what Mercury Racing does
Smart move.
Backing up is going to be kind of freaky!!! Totally a game changer. V-12 is so Italian super car sexy! Who ever has one or more is going to get LAID.
Imagine the bay boats
That's what I've been looking for. I'll place my order now for six of them please.
Outstanding drive system, some tuner is already out there, wondering what he could do.....
hmm yes quad turbo sounds good
Nothing
I’m thinking TURBOSUPERCHARGE.
@@jimterracall6766 supercharger after the turbos so the dont despool whilst changing gears
Not enough space for turbos and heat will for sure be a issue!! I reckon Merc Racing will slap and super charger on and bump the HP up to 750/800 without too much effort!!
Hopefully some automobile manufacturer will use this in some luxury cars and hyper cars!!!!
This ain't your grand daddy's Tower of Power!
no upside down distributors with points lol
@@egustafson I bet there's some roots of where it came from still in there 🤣 I just hope it smokes less!
Hey I still run the tower of power 86 90 hp gas guzzling screamers 👍
