2017 Mercury Racing 400R CARBON EDITION 

2017 Mercury Racing 400R CARBON EDITION

Mercury Racing is proud to reveal the 400R Carbon Edition, an exotic high performance Verado outboard, featuring contemporary layered surfacing sculpted out of lightweight carbon fiber composite. Carbon Edition 400Rs share all of the industry leading performance characteristics and creature comforts of its Phantom Black and Cold Fusion White 400R siblings, while providing an even higher level of luxury with this bold, aggressive visual treatment.

• Aggressively styled cowls with the rear cowl and top cowl air dam sculpted out of lightweight carbon fiber composite. Bold new ultra-premium graphics scream performance and luxury

• The cool air intake grabs fresh outside air to feed the supercharger and cooler air means more horsepower for big performance gains

• The water-cooled supercharger uses the engine cooling system to reduce air temperatures and supercharger load, increasing supercharger durability and more importantly POWER

• For even more power, the air is cooled one last time by the charge air cooler after the air exits the supercharger and before it enters the cylinder head for maximum performance

• Electronically monitors boost pressure levels to self-compensate for environmental changes, delivering consistent power that you have to feel to believe

• Standard on all 400R models, the stainless steel guide plates stabilize the engine and Advanced Midsection for improved durability and rock solid handling at high speeds and in rough seas

• High performance engine mounts designed in conjunction with Mercurys exclusive Advanced Midsection for the perfect combination of handling and overall running quality

• 400Rs destined for ultra-go fast duty on high performance catamarans and vee-bottoms are equipped with a custom Mercury Racing designed rear tie bar kit. The factory installed kit includes custom rear engine mounts and a heavy duty, stainless steel tie bar wing plate. The engine mounts feature an addendum for the mounting of the wing plate. Tie bars must be sourced through the boat builder or dealer

• SmartCraft integrated marine technology is the brains behind the operation and the backbone for leading technologies like Digital Throttle & Shift and Joystick Piloting for Outboards. SmartCraft links the engine, controls, steering, and displays to provide data to keep the user informed of engine diagnostics and performance

• Digital Throttle and Shift is a fully electronic throttle and shift system that offers smooth and predictable shifting and instant throttle response, similar to a modern sports car. Mercury Racing Zero Effort controls with Shadow Mode offer the ability to throttle and shift up to four engines with just two throttle and two shift levers for easier control at higher speeds

• Joystick Piloting for Outboards takes away the anxiety by combining throttle, shift and steering into one easy to use joystick which is designed for maximum maneuverability at lower speeds. The 400R gives you maximum performance at high and low speeds with Joystick Piloting for Outboards

• Cylinder head designed for enhanced durability and increased performance.

• Custom exhaust valves: Race derived to for enhanced performance and durability.

• Camshaft: Custom lobe profile (intake & exhaust) and Mercury Racing derived cam timing for enhanced power and torque.
