Mercury Dry Sump NXT¹ Drive - Mercury Racing has just written a new chapter in the book of revolutionary marine propulsion with the development of the all new dry-sump NXT¹® drive. The drive is robust enough to handle engines between 525 and 700 horsepower with an input torque rating of 800 ft-lbs. The engine/transom plate/drive package is nearly 200 pounds lighter than a comparable engine outfitted with a standard size transmission and dry-sump Six drive. Both the drive and transmission feature dry-sump lubrication for higher efficiency and reduced operating temperatures.
The unique through-hull location of the compact transmission enables the transmission to be installed after the engine is first mounted. Access to the transmission from the transom also allows the transmission to be removed and serviced without having to pull the complete engine.
