The new Mercury Verado 350 - maximum power from a trusted source

Published on: 11/03/2015

The new Mercury Verado 350hp outboard launched at the Miami Boat Show, is now the most powerful engine in Mercury's class-leading family of four and six-cylinder supercharged FourStroke outboards.

Built on Mercury’s proven supercharged inline, six-cylinder Verado outboard engine, the Verado 350 delivers unsurpassed speed and overall performance without sacrificing durability and cruise fuel economy.

The highly efficient Verado 350, provides up to 10% greater fuel economy than competitive outboards, which could translate in up to 80 miles in additional range per fill-up. Weighing in at just 303kg’s, the Mercury Verado is 43kg’s lighter than the nearest four-stroke competitor, and its compact design provides a less-obstructed view and easier water access for fishing.

True to the Verado brand, the new 350 provides class-leading performance. The engine has superior torque across the operating range, creating rocket like holeshot, faster top-end speed and superb cruising performance.

The new cold-air intake system is designed to collect cool, fresh air from outside the cowl and deliver it directly and efficiently to the supercharger. Its larger, straighter airflow path was engineered to create less turbulent airflow. The unique labyrinth design in the top cowl keeps the powerhead dry.

The water-cooled supercharger delivers greater boost by making use of the water from the engine cooling system to provide a cooling jacket around the supercharger components, reducing the work required to compress the air induction and increasing overall durability.

Other features include a styled vented flywheel cover that allows the engine heat to dissipate more easily. Lower operating temperatures help to improve the efficiency and durability of the engine, and its components.

Optimised guide plates give the Verado 350 superior handling at high speeds, and the robust 5.44 inch diameter gearcase can handle offshore seas, and provides extra lift for longer, heavier centre-console and walk-around boats.

Mercury’s exclusive idle charge system adaptively increases engine RPM at low speeds when battery voltage is too low. This ensures you always have the power you need to maintain safe operation.

Mercury’s Verado FourStroke engine range is synonymous with supercharged power and torque; industry leading performance, fuel economy and handling; true power steering, and minimised noise and vibration. The introduction of the high-horsepower 350 Verado is pulling even farther ahead of the competition.

The Verado 350 is available in a choice of colours that will complement almost any boat design or style. In addition to the standard Phantom Black, two shades of white, Cold Fusion or Warm Fusion, are available to special order.
