Mercury Marine's New Verado 350 and Mercury Racing 400R - Boating Magazine (press release)
Boston Whaler ’s 370 Outrage proved a perfect test platform for us to use to test the new Mercury Verado 350 outboard engine. Mercury Racing Verado 400R. The new Mercury Racing Verado 400R is a potent replacement for the Mercury Racing Verado 350 SCi outboard. Displacement remains 2. 6 liters, and powerhead components are similar to those developed for the Verado 350, including the water-cooled supercharger and the molded intake snorkel. The 400R uses a standard Verado cowl with racing graphics that’s more practical offshore and quieter than the 350 SCi. More good news is that the 400R will run on 89-octane fuel, thanks to a sophisticated new knock sensor it shares with the Verado 350. Mercury Racing says that feeding the 400R 91-octane gas, however, may be the best way to extract peak power in... The 400R is also available with optional joystick control when equipped with the Sport Master cambered-skeg gear case. Gear-case options include the 5. 44-inch Verado HD 1. 75:1 case or the Sport Master with either a straight or cambered skeg. The crescent-shaped Sport Master case is designed for speeds over 85 mph and features dual water pickups. Mercury Racing has also developed a heavy-duty tie bar for this engine.
