Crusader Marine Engines
305XL, 350XL and 350XL-HT
For power, reliability and economy, the new Crusader 305XL, 350XL and
350XL-HT inboards have set new standards for small block performance and application
versatility.
Fully wired to accept Crusader's new MSTS computerized engine management
system, the standard 305XL, 350XL and 350XL-HT feature an equipment list that redefines
the small-block gas inboard, including a recalibrated carburetor for more efficient fuel
flow; easy-to-service belt adjustment; a unique center manifold design that provides the
most efficient exhaust flow in the industry; and much more. And the 350XL-HT, with its
roller cam design and high-performing Holley 4010 carburetor outputs an imposing 265
horsepower ~ 4400 rpm...6% greater than the 350XL!
And when installed with optional MSTS, each of these engine packages
maintain maximum horsepower output with optimum fuel efficiency at every rpm, under all
operating conditions. A 5000 rpm limiter also prevents potential overrevving damage while
exceptional spark regulation averts damage from unwelcome detonation.
Models 305XL, 350XL and 350XL-HT. Leading the pack with new standards in
mid-size V8 performance...only from the most experience manufacturer of gas inboard power
in the world.
