Say goodbye to shift clunking
A propeller hub isolator virtually eliminates noise, vibration, and harshness effects perceived as "shift clunk" when boat pilots shift engines into gear. Mercury Marine manufactures Flo-Torq IV isolators at its plant in St. Cloud, Fla. The isolators currently serve on production models

or cold temperatures. And the electronic ignition and fuel injection provides peak fuel efficiency at all times. There is no carburetor and venturi inlet, so icing at the air inlet is practically eliminated. Fadec also lets a single lever control throttle, fuel mix, propeller pitch, and, in the V-300T

. The nearly 5.0-liter V10 engine pumps out more than 500 hp and speeds greater than 200 mph. The engine sits in front of the passenger compartment but behind the front-axle centerline, a so-called “front-mid” configuration. It’s connected via a torque tube and propeller shaft to a transaxle controlled
