Mercury Racing 450R V-8 FOURSTROKE Outboard Engine Sleek Design Options

To cater to different preferences, the Mercury Racing 450R is available in two stunning finishes:

• Cold Fusion White: Featuring Devil Red Eye cowl accent panels, a white Advanced MidSection (AMS), and gearcase for a bold, modern look.
• Mercury Phantom Black: Accentuated with Graphite Gray cowl panels, AMS, and gearcase for a classic, stealthy finish.

Additionally, for ultimate customization, accent panel kits in Devil Red Eye, Graphite Gray, and Carbon Fiber are available to perfectly match the engine with your boat’s color scheme. This flexibility allows boat owners to truly personalize their setup.

Advanced MidSection for Stability and Handling

When it comes to stability and handling, the Advanced MidSection (AMS) stands out. It is meticulously designed to enhance performance at high speeds. Key features include:

• Enhanced High-Speed Handling: Heavy-duty guide plates and stiffened engine mounts ensure the outboard remains stable even during intense operation.
• Smooth Operation: The AMS isolates the powerhead from the transom, providing quiet and vibration-free performance across all speeds.
• Optional Rear Tie-Bar Bracket: This feature is ideal for high-speed catamarans as it offers a strong, ultra-light mounting point while keeping the installation clutter-free.
• Gearcase Options: Boaters can choose between the 5.44-inch HD gearcase for traditional submerged applications or the Sport Master gearcase, which features a one-piece stainless steel propshaft and is perfect for boats capable of speeds exceeding 136 km/h.

Furthermore, the design prioritizes ease of installation and superior functionality, making it a top choice for performance-driven users.

Supercharged for Unmatched Power

Not only does the Mercury Racing 450R feature a 4.6-liter V-8 engine, but it is also equipped with a 2.4-liter twin-screw supercharger, making it a powerhouse. Its features include:

• Instant Throttle Response: The pressurized ambient air intake ensures immediate power delivery.
• Water-Cooled Supercharger: This system reduces intake air temperature, which significantly enhances power output.
• Boost Bypass Valve: The valve automatically adjusts boost pressure to maintain peak performance, even in varying ambient conditions.
• Noise Attenuator: Tuned to cancel harsh high-frequency supercharger noise, it provides a smoother and quieter ride.

Additionally, the engine incorporates race-spec components such as Inconel exhaust valves and high-performance camshafts. It also features a wide-open throttle (WOT) range of 5800-6400 rpm, offering flexibility for propping options and ensuring maximum performance.

Built for Durability and Confidence

While performance is key, durability is equally essential. The Mercury Racing V-8 outboards are engineered to withstand rugged conditions and provide long-lasting reliability.

• Corrosion Protection: Advanced materials and finishes safeguard the engine in harsh marine environments.
• Extensive Testing: Each engine undergoes rigorous testing both in the lab and on the water, ensuring it exceeds the highest expectations.
• 3-Year Warranty: To add further confidence, Mercury backs its engines with a comprehensive warranty program.

Consequently, boaters can enjoy wide-open operation with complete peace of mind.
