Mercruiser 4.3L MPI - 220 hp

Mercruiser 4.3L MPI - 220 hp

The 220 hp, 4.3 Multiport Injection (MPI) MerCruiser sterndrive features electronic fuel injection and SmartCraft integrated technology. The electronic control module (ECM 555) delivers information provided by the SmartCraft system to the Engine Guardian. This exclusive technology helps protect your engine.

 


RELIABILITY

  • ECM 555 fuel and ignition system along with platinum-tipped spark plugs ensure reliable starts and outstanding performance, year after year
  • Exclusive Engine Guardian protection senses potential problems and virtually eliminates the chance for engine damage due to overheating, low oil pressure, or low drive lube
  • Dry-joint exhaust eliminates the chance for water to enter engine through leaky gaskets
  • Water-separating fuel filter helps protect fuel system and engine against damage
  • Proven GM cast iron block V6 power for years of reliable operation
  • Ceramic coated exhaust elbows better resist high temperature and corrosion
  • Brass sea water pump housing improves life and better resists damage from running dry

 

PERFORMANCE
  • Multi-Port Fuel Injection provides easy starts, cold or hot, and automatically adjusts for changes in temperature, weather, or altitude for terrific performance in any environment
  • Two-piece, long-runner intake manifold design improves low and mid-range torque for better acceleration and handling heavy loads
  • HVS Ignition with knock control maximizes power and protects against low quality fuels
  • Standard anti-feedback power steering helps reduces operator fatigue and makes boat handling a breeze
  • Low restriction flame arrestor for added horsepower and torque
  • Improved shift system feel along with a 1/3 reduction in shift effort

 

EASY OWNERSHIP
  • 3-year/300 hour maintenance interval on many periodic service items saves time and money
  • Easy Oil Drain system coupled with convenient remote oil filter location makes oil changes cleaner and makes periodic service simple and less work
  • Color-coded service points makes checking fluid levels simple and straightforward
  • Operates on easy to find, less expensive 87 octane fuel
  • Engine-mounted drive lube monitor for easy lube check or add from inside the boat
  • All models come with simple to use water drain systems designed for many boat applications
