The 700 SCi is based off the same CNC machined 502 cubic inch cylinder block as
the 525 EFI and 600 SCi. The intercooler, made of copper-nickel alloy called
"CuproNickel" for enhanced corrosion resistance, is 0.75" taller than that used
on the 600SCi for improved engine cooling. Boost bypass is achieved via an
internal cast passage. The intake also features port fuel injection and a fuel
cross over passage which eliminates tee fittings by routing fuel to both port
and starboard fuel rails for enhanced engine aesthetics.
An induction hardened, micro-alloy crankshaft features larger journal radii for
enhanced strength and durability. Connecting rods feature a floating wrist pin
as well as stronger rod bolts for enhanced engine durability. A new camshaft
design provides increased valve lift for enhanced power and torque. The oil
flow rate has been increased for enhanced engine protection throughout the
engine operating range. The 700SCi is the first engine to come standard with
Mercury Racing's new universal engine mount system. The new mounts enable OEM
boat builders to install the engine in virtually any hull configuration with
ease.
The 700SCi is also the first engine to feature Mercury Racing's new large
capacity power steering reservoir. It is intended to eliminate the need for
additional after market reservoirs used by boat builders today.
Engine aesthetics are new with the carbon fiber reservoir covers, polished
pulleys, and selected components painted slate grey.
