Mercury Racing has come together
with the next installment of the XS lineup of out
outboards. Not to out do the 250 XS which is a super
power plant in the field of 6 cylinder power plants. The
300 XS is an incredibly robust machine, developing
superior low end torque and amazing top end power.
Unlike the past EFI and Carb X motors this motor is
docile and quiet at idle and around the docks then turns
mean as hell when the throttle is rolled up and power is
needed. Like the 250 XS the 300 XS will without a doubt
find its way to the transoms of many fishing boats and
go fast boats looking for the most power available today
for a single outboard.
Update: 09/01/07
I now have two of these motors.
One is a 25 inch 5800 RPM engine on a 24 Yellowfin Bay
Boat. The motor has 300 Hours on it without an issue. I
have changed plugs once at 250 hours and the motor gets
about 4 MPG on this application with a 23" Mirage plus.
Oil consumption is med to heavy but the motor runs
really Strong.
The other is a 20 inch on a Lake and Bay 20 Ft Boca
Grande. Sport Master Gear case. What a joy to drive. 80
MPH ready to fish, almost 90 empty. 6 MPG at cruise. You
cant beat it. No problems at 350 hrs.

I will tell you a few things here.
Fuel economy is unbelievable.
Torque is more than I have ever experienced.
Idles like a kitten
Does not eat spark Plugs like old versions of the 300.
no matter how much I idle.
Roars like a lion when you crack the throttle.
Motor has a great sound to it.
Very well behaved.
I am very excited to be a part of this motors history. I
know that the 300 XS will be a much sought after power
plant. When they do come on line in production or your
dealer can take orders. DO IT. There will be a huge
demand for this motor. Your gonna Luv it....
Happy Boating. |
