Mercury MerCruiser MX 6.2 Black Scorpion (330-hp) Captain's Report

  • All MerCruiser® gasoline engines are designed to run on 87-octane fuel making them less expensive to operate than engines that require a higher-octane rating.


  • Standard audio alarm system warns of low oil pressure, high water temperature, and excessive transmission temperature, reducing chances of engine or transmission damage.


  • Color-coded service points for easy identification of key service areas (yellow -engine oil; blue - engine coolant; brown - transmission fluid).


  • Engines incorporate roller valve lifters, improving efficiency for increased horsepower and performance.


  • 65-amp/917-watt alternator fully charges the battery for dependable starting with extra capacity to handle additional electrical accessories. Alternator is located high on the engine to avoid water contamination.


  • One-piece serpentine belt means easier servicing, less maintenance, unsurpassed belt life, and requires fewer horsepower to drive the engine accessories.


  • Heavy-duty water-circulating pump uses a stainless steel shaft, bronze impeller and special seal for long life.


  • Sealed flywheel housing protects starter from water damage for added resistance to the elements.


  • 50-amp/706-watt circuit breaker is standard to help prevent overloading of the electrical system and is easy to reset, eliminating the need for troublesome fuses.


  • Remote water-separating fuel filter ensures dependable starts and performance by removing water and solid particles from fuel before they reach the fuel system.


  • Water-cooled and insulated fuel system helps keep fuel temperatures down and greatly reduces potential of vapor lock for added reliability on today's higher-horsepower fuel-injected engines.


  • The engine, including the alternator, is painted for better corrosion protection.


  • High-capacity seawater pump utilizes plastic pump body and stainless steel end plate and shaft for increased durability and corrosion protection.


  • Electro Deposition Painting (EDP) process used on engine as well as oil pan offers excellent protection from corrosive environments.
