At minimum planing speed, we are revving some shy of 3000 rpm and burning less than 20 liters per hour. But we have to take into account the stream of the river and the four people aboard. We can’t pass the 5000 rpm limit, while Mercury got to 5200 in their tests. Acceleration is very good, and our 200 Sundeck gets to planing in 5,7 seconds and revs up to 4900 rpm in 21,8 seconds. We move along the river, where in some parts we can speed up using all the thrust from the Bravo Three 22.5” propeller. And I have to add another point to the score board: this engine is pretty silent as well, 73 dB with open hood (and some wind in the background). This is not an invitation to fill this space with any sort of gear…just a confirmation that the new unit is much more compact than the previous one, which we see in the boat beside us. No problem as there’s no need for a direct comparion between the single and twin solution. Once aboard the Sea Ray 220 Sundeck, 22 feet and less than two tons, I immediately appreciate how the small engine leaves much room in the engine bay. The water of the lake is struck by strong wind, and waves force us to test the smaller boat on the river while the larger can face the “rough” water. The single mount could be compared to the glorious V8 5.0 ‘small block’. For us, a Sea Ray 220 Sundeck with single engine and a Sea Ray 310 Sundancer with twin units and joystick controls. Pfeifer statements, we flown all the way to Fond du Lac for a sea trial on Winnebago lake. In order to test in advance the new MerCruiser 4.5L V6 250 HP, and proof Mr. The MerCruiser 4.5L V6 sets new standards in acceleration and performance thanks to a great power-to-weight ratio: it’s 59 Kgs lighter than the ‘small block’ V8, with similar performance”. “We’re glad to start next-gen engines with this innovative unit – said Mercury Marine chairman John Pfeifer. And this already is a big news: until today, engines derived from blocks made for the automotive industry, while now the project is 100% “Made in Mercury”. So here’s the new MerCruiser 4.5L V6 250 HP, sterndrive inboard engine entirely designed in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, where the Mercury Marine headquarters are located.
