New Model - 200 HP 3.0 Litre
2004 MY
This new model 200 HP, 3.0 Liter EFI will replace the 200 HP, 2.5 Liter EFI.
This engine will use the 3.0 Liter work EFI cylinder block with the 225 EFI
heads, and a new ECM calibration. This is a late 2003 model year release
Feb. 2003.
The 3.0L engine will answer the bass boat market demand for a higher
displacement 200 EFI engine. Higher displacement to give the engine more
power to lift a heavy, loaded bass boat out of the hole and adds top end
speed – two critical performance factors for the bass market. In addition, the
3.0L 200 EFI features dual water pickups on the lower unit, a feature that
ensure a steady flow of cooling water, regardless of trim angle.
The 3.0L 200 EFI will perform very well, especially on heavy bass boats. For
example, Mercury’s initial boat testing shows the following performance
differences versus the 2.5L 200 EFI:
For 2003 model year, both the 2.5L 200 EFI (1-200413AD) and 3.0L 200 EFI
(1-200453AD) will be available in 20” shaft lengths. However, in 2004 model
year, the 3.0L will supercede the 2.5L (20” shaft only).
