System Integration

Digital Electric Steering

The XTO responds quicker to steering inputs because it contains a digital electric steering motor, which directly receives signals form the electric helm to the integrating steering control unit.

Helm Master® EX

Helm Master® integrated boat control system offers greater control with Set Point™ and CL7™ Display

Power And Performance

Direct-Injection Four Stroke

Maximize power and efficiency by spraying fuel at high pressure directly into the combustion chamber.

Exclusive Fuel System

A three-stage low-medium-high pressure fuel pump system works, in part, due to two independent, rpm-activated fuel pumps in the Vapor Separator Tank. This unique five-ump system creates an unprecedented fuel injection pressure of up to 2900 PSI to further maximize atomization and efficiency.

In-Bank Exhaust

Intake tracks enter the cylinder head from the outside of the powerhead. This gives exhaust gases room for a direct route to the lower unit and out through the propeller hub, streamlining the powerhead and improving flow.

XTO (SDS) Propellers

With diameters from 16 to 17 1/8 inches, 15 to 27-inch pitches and increased blade surface, XTO propellers complement the torque potential of our V8 XTO Offshore. They also contribute to greater overall thrust.

Endurance-Driven Camshafts

The XTO features dual overhead camshafts that are each connected via a self-tensioning chain immersed in an oil bath and utilize one-sprocket belt engagement. This ensures quiet, precise valve-timing, compact design, low maintenance and long life.

Two-Stage Water Pump

This unique design ensures proper cooling water flow at all RPMs and improved temperature control. It features a massive rubber water impeller for high pressure and flow, and a steel impeller that helps provide sufficient water volume, even under the most extreme offshore conditions.
