Turning petrol into noise!

Post by Alacrity »

What a beast. Some don't rate these Mercury 6cyl Twister 2's but they won an awful lot of races with them & I would love one, although realistically I don't know where you would run it here in the UK as it's not a salt water engine (too bumpy) - not to mention fueling the beast. See how close the water gets to the bottom carb inlet when he shuts it down quickly. Not good.

Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!
