New Ratings For Electronic 4.2 Litre Engine

Cummins MerCruiser Diesel has announced new recreational application ratings at 270HP (199kW) and 320HP (235kW) for its 4.2-litre in-line-six electronic engine.

The new 4.2 ES 270 and 4.2 ES 320 high-revving sterndrives feature an electronic engine platform with advanced two-stage injectors, providing lower emissions and noise levels. Tuned for quick response, superior performance and virtually smoke-free operation – meeting SAV1 requirements – the new engines are based on the 300HP (221kW) model introduced in 2003. They are turbocharged, wastegated and aftercooled.

Among the upgrades that have been added is a new engine cover that protects all main electrical components from water that might flow from the engine compartment hood.

The 4.2 ES 270 and 320 can be coupled with the Bravo One X, Two X or Three X diesel drives, now featuring easier installation and further durability. The 4.2 EI 270 and 4.2 EI 320 are the corresponding inboard versions, available with ZF down-angle or V-drive gear.
