Mercury Racing 565

Overview

FLEX SOME MUSCLE

The 565 sterndrive combines the proven performance of big block power with the creature comforts of digital throttle and shift. A stroked, 8.7 liter cylinder block combined with high-performance cylinder heads, multiport fuel injection and twin electronic throttle bodies results in a whopping 565 horsepower that’s sure to blow your hair back. This power comes from 89 posted octane fuel; making this naturally aspirated powerhouse a natural for high performance vee bottoms and catamarans as well as sport cruisers.

BRAVO ONE XR

Intended for single, twin and triple applications with engines up to600hp in boats capable of up to 85 mph top speed. The Bravo OneXR® is designed for high-performance applications, with dual water pickups, heavy-duty U-joints, a heavy-duty stainless steel prop shaft, billet aluminum bearing carrier, upgraded upper thrust bearings and net forged straight cut bevel gears for enhanced strength.

BRAVO ONE XR SPORT MASTER

The surfacing Sport Master gearcase offers heavy-duty durability for boats that travel in excess of 85 mph, with four-slot low water pick-ups and a crescent leading-edge design that reduces drag as much as possible to maximize efficiency and speed. The one-piece gearcase housing and skeg are precision CNC machined for perfect symmetry that results in improved handling at higher speeds.

Mercury Racing 565 BRAVO ONE XR SPORT MASTER SHORT

The same super hydrodynamic design as the Sport Master, with a two-inch shorter length. This permits lowering the transom X dimension by two inches, and mounting the engine two inches lower in the boat, while maintaining an optimal propeller position. Gain engine hatch clearance and lower overall center of gravity for improved handling.

DIGITAL ZERO EFFORT CONTROLS

Digital Zero Effort Controls replace the lag and hesitation of traditional throttle and shift cables with digital precision, resulting in smooth shifting and instant throttle response. Ergonomic design features short-throw levers for effortless shifting and ultra-fast throttle response, and the robust stainless-steel levers offer unmatched durability in the offshore environment. Digital Zero Effort Controls can provide automatic throttle synchronization and shadow mode for up to six engines (where two levers operate six engines) and go hand in hand with engines equipped with Mercury’s exclusive Joystick Piloting for Outboards (JPO) technology.

Mercury Racing 565 X-HAUST SOUND TUNING

Mercury Racing's exclusive X-Haust Noise Reducer features a fully integrated sterndrive exhaust noise reduction system. X-haust was developed primarily to bring the HP600 SCi and EU662 SCi sterndrive engine packages, already certified by the European Union Recreational Craft Directive (RCD) requirements for exhaust emissions, in compliance with the stringent RCD noise regulations.

Mercury Racing 565 INTEGRATED TRANSOM SYSTEM (ITS)

The Integrated Transom System (ITS), developed for use with Bravo sterndrives, features integral power steering cylinders, making the transom more aesthetically pleasing and simplifying installation.
