Key Features & Standout Benefits

- Class-Leading 4.6L V8 Displacement: The naturally aspirated, 32-valve DOHC V8 engine offers the largest displacement in the 300hp class while maintaining an incredibly lightweight and compact profile. Enjoy effortless power without weighing down your transom.
- Next-Gen Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS): Experience automotive-like precision with zero-effort shifting and immediate throttle feedback. DTS enables flawless synchronization for multi-engine setups and pairs effortlessly with Joystick Piloting for easy docking.
- Adaptive Speed Control (ASC): Maintain your desired RPM through shifting water conditions, tight turns, and heavy swells. ASC automatically adjusts the throttle so you don’t have to constantly fiddle with the levers.
- Advanced Battery Management (Idle Charge): Never worry about running your electronics flat. When the system detects heavy electrical draws from your fishfinders, radar, and sound systems, it automatically bumps up idle RPMs to boost alternator output to a massive 85 Amps.
- Superior Fuel Economy & ARO: Advanced Range Optimization (ARO) utilizes closed-loop fuel control to lean out the fuel mixture at cruise speeds. This means you spend less time at the fuel dock and more time chasing tournament-winning fish.
