Incredible the technology in boats now. I'm a Marine audio installer and new boats are becoming similar to cars with everything being controlled by data and drive by wire. That active leg steering is unreal. Living on a lake, we don't see many big rigid inflatables like that. Brilliant video, appreciate the post!
@douro20 Жыл бұрын
The reason for the active leg steering is because of how heavy it is. It is much easier to steer the bottom end than it is to tilt the whole outboard.

As a former outboard mechanic from the 80’s who’s day to day was OMC and Merc/Mariner 2 strokes this is really amazing. On weekends we ran the Evinrude 235 and seeing the first of the OMC V8s on the twin rig of Danny Bertels (3.5L 500HP each) was so advanced in 83. Would love to have a good look at these big Merc V12’s, impressive video, cheers. 👍

Drinks fuel like a sailor on shore leave. 170 liters per hour aren’t as bad as a rain engine aircraft. IMO the whole idea behind twin engines is redundancy at 1200 plus pounds each, not many boat builders are going to select placing 2400 pounds on the transom plate. As they say, if you have to ask how much, you can’t afford it anyway.

This is impressive no doubt, but mercury how about better engineering to bring about far better quality. Leaning suzuki. Why ? Simple. I see to many Mercury's with problems. Flywheels that are soft and the starter wears the flywheel out. Overheating problems. Caused by coolant lines cheaply installed and 4 strokes that smoke like a 2 cycle. Plus motors are too far advanced. After 10 years who will work on the motors without the neccessary expensive test gear. Once the dealer wants nothing to do with you and your older boat. Hmmmm
