Special Features
There is a dry-joint exhaust system on the 5.0-liter MerCruiser. Mercury Marine claims that this improves corrosion resistance and removes the possibility of water seeping into the engine. To keep water out of the fuel system, the fuel filter separates it. Additionally, this engine has a unique alarm system that can alert users to low oil pressure, hot water, or an overheated transmission. For easy access, a drive-lube monitor is mounted on top of the engine.
