Features:
Available with Joystick Piloting
	
Joystick piloting is available on V6 3.4L 200hp and 225hp FourStroke outboards with Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS). In addition to easy joystick docking and maneuvering, the system allows you to hold a boat in position, hold its heading, or even hold its position and heading simultaneously.
Adaptive Speed Control
	
Adaptive Speed Control allows boaters to maintain engine speed (rpm) regardless of load or condition changes – such as rough water, tight turns, tow sport activities and lower speeds on plane – without having to frequently adjust throttle position.
Discover better boating
	
Active Trim by Mercury makes boating easier and more enjoyable by automatically trimming your engine. Active Trim simplifies boat operation while improving engine performance and decreasing fuel costs.
Award-Winning Design
	
Mercury Marine earned the 2018 Most Innovative Product award for its all-new V8 FourStroke outboard family. The award was presented during the Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show, the biggest and most popular boat show in New Zealand the past 60 years.
