Crusader Marine Engines
7.4L MPI
Introducing the first in a new breed of excellence
With the Model 7.4L MPI, Crusader has revisited a classic power range
and introduced a new standard of excellence for inboard performance and reliability.
Incorporating the new MSTS computerized engine management system, the
7.4L MPI maintains maximum horsepower output with optimum fuel efficiency at every rpm,
under all operating conditions. This increased engine efficiency, responsiveness and
performance is the result of exceptional engine spark regulation through a unique knock
control sensor, manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor, high energy ignition and
electronic control module.
As the industry's new benchmark for inboard efficiency, the 7.4L MPI's
equipment list includes features destined to redefine inboard requirements, including: a
recalibrated carburetor for more efficient fuel flow, a redesigned oil system for improved
engine lubrication, a new electric fuel pump for more effective fuel handling,
easy-to-service belt adjusters, a unique center manifold design that provides the most
efficient exhaust flow in the industry, and much more.
Model 7.4L MPI. Destined to change how we think about what's exceptional
in marine power.. and only from the most experienced manufacturer of V8 gas inboard power
in the world.
