THE NEW BENCHMARKExperience elevated power and technology created exclusively for owners of the fastest luxury sport boats. Producing 500 supercharged horsepower, the Mercury Racing V8 500R introduces a host of new components in the powerhead, cooling system, midsection, gearcase and steering system, each engineered to harness the raw power produced by this engine and to meet the challenging demands of Wide Open performance boating. |
STOUT POWERHEADBuilt from the inside out for rugged performance. Our new 4.6L V8 powerhead features upgraded components support to a scaled-up power output and deliver reliability you can count on. |
BIGGER BOOSTOur power prescription calls for a 26% increase in supercharger boost pressure. Air flow is optimized with a larger intake attenuator and a new 92mm throttle body. |
HUMIDITY COMPENSATION TECHNOLOGYMore power in every environment. For the first time in any marine engine, a new sensor measures the humidity level of the intake airflow to maintain the most aggressive calibration and optimize performance under virtually all conditions. |
R-DRIVEThe R-Drive gearcase features a standard skeg length with a very efficient parabolic cross-section shape with left- or right-hand camber to balance steering force with standard and counter rotation props. Designed to perform in submerged and transition applications on boats capable of speeds between 85 and 100mph. |
R-DRIVE SPORTThe R-Drive Sport is optimized for surfacing applications at speeds beyond 100 mph. Its longer skeg maintains steering control while operating fully surfaced at the high mounting positions desirable for many of the fastest hulls. |
DIGITAL THROTTLE & SHIFT (DTS)The precision of Digital Throttle and Shift (DTS) with available Mercury Racing Digital Zero Effort controls eliminates cable maintenance and delivers smooth shifting with instant throttle response. |
ADAPTIVE SPEED CONTROLAdaptive Speed Control maintains engine RPM as load changes due to sea conditions or turning maneuvers to maintain boat authority with less control input. |
SMARTCRAFT TECHNOLOGIESThe 500R model supports the full suite of Mercury SmartCraft technologies, including the Engine Guardian monitor system. Stream engine and performance data to a Mercury VesselView multi-function display or to many other multi-function displays. |
