Mercury 270 Sterndrive

The new Mercury Diesel 3.0L common-rail highspeed engine delivers exceptional performance and offers substantial improvements in acceleration and top speed -- all made possible via a new water-cooled variable geometry turbocharger design (VGT). This matched system, plus a state-of-the-art engine control system, provides reduced time to plane and outstanding overall performance. This powerful, compact package can fit in virtually any installation while low fuel consumption results in affordable operating costs and extended travel range. The new Mercury Diesel 3.0L highspeed engine was designed to be durable, with features and materials specific to marine applications, and it proved itself by meeting Mercury's rigorous test standards. The new engine is assembled in a state-of-the-art a manufacturing facility that employs the latest in quality practices and controls, further underscoring confidence in reliability. Mercury Diesel's 3.0L engine is compatible with all Mercury controls and SmartCraft(r) electronics and is serviceable through Mercury's global service network. Mercury Diesel's SmartCraft compatibility offers boaters a choice between conventional mechanical throttle and shift or digital throttle and shift (DTS). Mercury's Digital Throttle and Shift (DTS) the system includes optional Joystick Piloting for Inboards (JPI) and Joystick Piloting for Sterndrives (JPS). \ #### Features Power mhp / kW: 270 Bore and stroke: 3.27 x 6.62" / 83 x 92 mm Maximum RPM (WOT): 4200 Engine type: V6 Displacement (L): 3.0L Dry Weight (engine only): 358 Kg (789 lbs) Dimensions (L x W x H): 36.7 x 33.4 x 32.0" / 847 x 849 x 813 mm Peak Torque: 594 Nm @ 2200 rpm Air Handling: Turbocharged and Aftercooled Fuel System: High-pressure common rail Rotation: Counterclockwise facing flywheel Compression Ratio: 16.5:1 Fuel Pre-filtration requirement: Not required Fuel lift pump: On the engine High-pressure fuel pump: Bosch CP 4.2 w/ integrated gear lift pump Valves per Cylinder: 4 Pistons: Oil jet cooled Fuel injectors: Bosch CRS 2.20 (Solenoid) Glow Plugs: Standard equipment with Bosch glow plug control unit (GCU) Air inlet (Starboard Rear): Filtered and silenced Turbocharger: Honeywell VGT Engine and turbocharger cooling: Closed cooled Coolers: Aftercooler, Engine Coolant, Engine Oil, Power Steering / Gear Oil and Fuel - All are tube and shell Seawater pump inlet size: 38 mm (1.5 in) Oil sump volume: 8.5 L Dipstick range: 1.0 L Oil maintenance interval: 200 hours or annually Coolant Volume: 12 L Flywheel size: 290 mm (11.42 in) SAE 8 Electrical system: 12 V, 110 A w/ conveniently located battery power and ground studs MerCathode (Sterndrive only): Engine mounted Engine Stop: ECU Controlled Engine Control Unit (ECU): Bosch EDC17 Sensors: Crank & cam position, intake manifold pressure/temp, compressor outlet temp, exhaust gas temp, fuel temp, rail pressure, water in fuel (WIF), oil pressure/temp, coolant temp, seawater pressure/temp, atmospheric pressure Throttle and shift: Mercury DTS or Mechanical Cable Helm and gauge compatibility: Mercury SmartCraft Mercury Joystick Piloting: Compatible with Joystick Piloting for Sterndrives (Axius) Sterndrive: Mercury Bravo One X: 1.36, 1.5, 1.65 Sterndrive: Mercury Bravo One X SeaCore: 1.36, 1.50, 1.65 Sterndrive: Mercury Bravo One XR: 1.35, 1.50 Sterndrive: Mercury Bravo Two X: 1.50, 1.65, 1.81, 2.00 Sterndrive: Mercury Bravo Two X SeaCore: 1.50, 1.65, 1.81, 2.00 Sterndrive: Mercury Bravo Two XR: 1.65 Sterndrive: Mercury Bravo Three X: 1.36, 1.50, 1.65, 1.81, 2.00 Sterndrive: Mercury Bravo Three X SeaCore: 1.36, 1.50, 1.65, 1.81, 2.00 Sterndrive: Mercury Bravo Three XR: 1.65, 1.81, 2.00 Sterndrive: Mercury Bravo Three XR SeaCore: 1.65, 1.81
