Mercury Racing 565

Mercury Racing 565 Engine

Mercury Racing 565
Contact CK Performance Marine   To Get Your New Engine Today

The naturally aspirated engine combines the proven performance of big block power with the creature comforts of digital throttle and shift.
​

The 565 is based off the same CNC machined cylinder block as its race-proven sibling, the 525 EFI. Mercury Racing's quest for more power and torque began by increasing the stroke for an additional 31 cubic inches of displacement to 533-C.I.D. (8.7 L). The larger displacement combined with redesigned cylinder heads, multiport fuel injection and twin electronic throttle bodies results in a whopping 565 horsepower at the 5000-5400 rpm operating range. All of this power comes from 89 posted octane (R+M)/2 pump gas. The 565 complies with EPA and CARB exhaust gas emissions limits.
Digital Age
The 565 features the same Propulsion Control Module (PCM) microprocessor used on the QC4v 1100 and 1350. In addition to digital throttle control, the new PCM enables the use of eight individual coils (one per cylinder). The ability to optimize fuel, spark timing and knock control independently for each cylinder enhances engine running quality, performance, fuel economy, and durability.
The PCM computer also drives Mercury Racing's exclusive Engine Guardian System. Engine Guardian monitors engine functions to forewarn of possible problems that could lead to engine damage. This "smart" technology not only detects and alerts the boater of a problem; it also processes the data and reduces power to a maximum, safe level that allows the boater to continue operation. Engine Guardian also has the ability to proactively help prevent engine overheating by sensing not only engine temperature, but cooling water pressure as well. By sensing water pressure, and temperature, the system can provide advanced warning to the PCM control module, which then reduces engine power before temperature related engine damage takes place.
The PCM enabled system also features one-touch Smart Start, automatic throttle synchronization and shadow mode for triple engine applications (where two throttle levers can operate up to three engines).
Unique to the 565 is the addition of a second microprocessor. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is dedicated to provide smooth, effortless shifting to the Bravo One XR drive train. Mercury Racing's Zero Effort Digital control provides an intuitive control experience – precisely signaling driver intent to the potent 565 engines.
The 565 is closed cooled for more uniform temperature distribution, optimal running quality and longer life. It comes equipped with a 90 amp charging system, providing an ample supply of power for an array of marine electronics.


KEY FEATURES
  • 8.7 Liter, multiport fuel injected V-8 engine features stroked and balanced crankshaft for maximum displacement and performance.
  • Cast iron cylinder block precision CNC machined to Mercury Racing's specs.
  • Forged 4340 steel, fully machined and shot-peened Mercury Racing connecting rods.
  • Forged aluminum pistons, designed by Mercury Racing, for maximum strength and durability.
  • Mercury Racing aluminum cylinder heads, designed exclusively for The 565, feature optimized valve angles for improved air flow, yielding enhanced power & torque.
  • Multiport fuel injection system features twin electronic throttle bodies, similar to the 1350, for enhanced air flow and power.
  • One coil per cylinder for the ultimate in engine ignition management.
  • Broad torque band for enhanced hole shot, unprecedented mid-range punch and consistent pull through the top-end engine rpm operating range.
  • Top located electrical connections for ease of installation and maintenance
  • Digital electronic throttle and shift for smooth, "Zero Effort" operation.
  • Two microprocessor control modules. The engine propulsion control module (PCM) optimizes fuel and spark control for each cylinder independently, enhancing engine running quality and performance. The transmission control module (TCM) is dedicated to digital shift management for the Bravo XR drive.
  • Equipped with a high pressure electronic fuel pump, fuel cooler and a low pressure mechanical fuel pump to combat vapor lock. A thermostatically-controlled, high-capacity oil cooler raises engine oil temperatures faster and keeps them more consistent.
  • Engine Guardian monitors engine functions to forewarn of possible problems that could lead to engine damage.
  • Closed-cooling system features five-year coolant for reduced maintenance and increased corrosion protection.
  • 90-amp (1269-watt) charging system.
  • One year limited warranty for recreational boating.
