Power & Performance

Convenience & Control

Optimum Acceleration
Variable Camshaft Timing
- Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) adjusts the camshaft timing based on engine RPM.
- Working with an electronic throttle and long intake manifold to boost low- and mid-range torque for better acceleration.
Fuel Efficiency
Electronic Throttle Valve
- The electronic throttle valve makes precise throttle movements according to engine temperature and atmospheric conditions.
- This delivers an incredible response, awesome power and exceptional fuel economy.
Power-to-Weight
Plasma Fusion Cylinders
- The plasma fusion process creates a cylinder wall 60% harder than steel, eliminating the need for steel sleeves.
- This cuts down weight, boosts fuel efficiency, and increases engine capacity for a better power-to-weight performance.
Improved Manoeuvrability
Thrust Enhancing Reverse Exhaust
- By redirecting exhaust bubbles away from the prop when under 2500 rpm, the cleaner water allows for better prop grip and improved thrust.
- Ideal for manoeuvring around marinas, docks, structures or reversing onto your catch.
Big Horsepower
24-Valve DOHC Engine
- The 4.2 Litre, V6, double overhead camshaft (DOHC), 24-valve, four-stroke engine delivers plenty of power to push large offshore boats.
