Mercury v8 marine engine in action

[tylerstains]

Would love to see what the oiling system looks like

[tylerkrug]

Its crazy how big and powerful they are making those outboard!

[romanticdonkey]

Marine engines are amazing. High rpms for extended periods without blowing up.

"so much torque, the chassis twisted coming off the line"

[wouldntyouliketoknow]

The beauty of a V8 without the need for a gear box, beautiful…

"I think you're gonna need a bigger boat"

[claiborneeastjr]

Damn. I'm old enuff to remember back "in the day" when a 35-HP Evinrude two-cylinder outboard was the ultimate powerhouse! BTW Merc also makes a V-12, but way beyond the means of us peasants.

If I was standing there, working on the engine, I have a big old smile on my face too

[jcruz]

Damn that building's gonna run a 10 sec ¼mile with that

[emsrcs]

Damn 😳 sounds like a hellcat.

Edit: I'm so sorry for wasting everyones time, I was wrong. I just thought it sounded slightly like a hemi at idle, but most V8 engines sound like that anyway. I was wrong, I will admit that.

Man that thing runs SMOOTH! So smooth it reminds me of the first time i started my Husqvarna mower with the Honda motor. I was using a Craftsman with a Briggs on it and that damn thing sounded/felt so rough. I bought my Husqvarna and man I'm telling you, i pulled that rope and it was just on. I actually questioned whether it was running or not. Just as smooth as it mows over whatever. Holds rpm no matter what. This boat purrs!

До чего же шикарен звук v8 просто песня для ушей, адреналин для сердца и покой в душе

[jdawg]

Imagine being by the water thinking you hear a muscle car in thr distance and itd a damn boat 😅

[braydanurban]

Boy does that thing purrr like a kitten. Man what a stud.

[Umakemelaff]

Can’t believe a transom can hold this..let alone a pack of them…

[ruben]

Thailand River boats: let us introduce ourselves.

[Ocean_breezes]

What a monster. My old 200 hp Yamaha V6 two stroke, that I totally rebuilt, put a smile on my face too. Those were the days when I was younger.

[Brian-Keith]

Got one a year or so ago. Awesome outboard engine tons of torque very reliable

[sskmtoliver]

Sounds soo good I wanna put it in my 87 Cutlass 😅

Wow, never seen a vertical v8 so compact. I see the commets about oiling which is understandable and the first thing I wondered about, I used to aircraft engines where some have oil systems for any orientation so not that unusual, but they work best the right way up whereas this will obviously always be on its end. Lets hope its a really great crankshaft seal otherwise the water behind you will have awesome rainbow patterns in it.
