HORIZON 8.1 - 370 hp
The Horizon 8.1 offers a four-year factory warranty when installed by one of our many Installation Quality certified boat manufacturers. Producing 370 horsepower, it has become one of most popular choices for powering larger cruisers and houseboats. Fitted with our most sophisticated Multiport Injection (MPI) and ignition system, the 8.1 Horizon is the pinnacle of gas inboards. Like all MerCruiser inboards, the Horizon 8.1 is available with a large variety of popular transmissions to fit virtually any application. Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) is available and is mated to a direct-acting electric shift transmission. DTS eliminates cable maintenance and provides consistent and precise throttle and shift control, and never requires any adjustment. DTS can automatically synchronize multiple engines, provides shift protection and provides SmartStart digital starting. DTS also features Transmission Guardian to automatically protect against damage from overheating or low fluid levels.
