Mercury 400 HP Verado Performance

The Mercury 400 Verado was developed around a lightweight 2.6-liter inline-six powerhead and supercharged torque. Mercury’s Verado literature describes the 350/400 HP platform as designed to provide strong torque for heavy offshore boats, particularly during acceleration and when running in demanding conditions.

The inline-six configuration also contributes to the smooth operating character associated with the Verado platform.

Supercharged Verado Power

One of the defining characteristics of the 400 Verado is its supercharged power delivery.

The supercharged 2.6L inline-six powerhead was engineered to provide strong torque when accelerating heavy boats onto plane and when operating offshore.

This makes the Mercury 400XXL particularly attractive for large center-console boats, offshore fishing vessels and high-performance applications.

30-Inch XXL Shaft

The XXL designation identifies the 30-inch shaft configuration.

The 2022 Mercury 400XXL is specified with a 30-inch shaft, making it important to match the engine to a boat with the appropriate transom height.

Before purchasing, verify the required shaft length and mounting height for your specific boat.

Digital Throttle & Shift

The Mercury Verado platform incorporates SmartCraft® digital technology, including digital engine-control capabilities.

Digital Throttle & Shift helps provide precise throttle and gear-shift control while integrating the outboard with compatible Mercury SmartCraft systems.

Power Steering

The Mercury 400XXL uses a remote steering configuration, and Verado models are designed around integrated power-steering technology.

This is particularly useful on high-horsepower applications where steering loads can otherwise become substantial.

Fuel Injection

The 2022 400XXL is a fuel-injected four-stroke outboard.

Electronic fuel management allows the engine-management system to precisely control fuel delivery across different operating conditions.
