ILMOR 2011 MV8 User Manual page 2

tronics and the all-new INDY
stern-drive were created to not only meet but ex-
ceed every requirement of the new regulations.
In the first year of competition for the engines,
a pair of ILMOR Marine MV-10 625 engines pow-
ered the #99 Fountain Powerboat King of Shaves
to win the coveted 2007 Powerboat P1 Evolution
Class World Championship. The successful first year
of competition was backed up in 2008 with World
Championship wins in both the largely European-
based Powerboat P1 series and the U.S.-based APBA
P1 race series, and repeating in 2009 as Powerboat
P1 champion.
All of this rapid development with a genuinely
measured success has ensured that when ILMOR
created the MV8, the engine would do exactly what
it should do, right from the start. Everyone knows that creating horsepower is easy. Creating horsepower output in the correct
range for the correct application, however, is a challenge to which ILMOR was more than equal. You are about to benefit from
this knowledge and experience.
This Owner's Manual
retains the right to make changes to the engine and/or components as a result of continually improving the MV8. ILMOR
reserves the right to make changes to the engine specifications at any time, without prior notice, and to discontinue product.
Changes may be made without obligation on ILMOR's part to provide or equip previously manufactured engines with updated
specifications. If the retail purchaser determines that updated equipment can be retrofitted on existing product, such changes
are at the sole discretion and cost to the retail purchaser. ILMOR bears no responsibility in these instances. Consumers are
encouraged to check www.ILMORMARINE.com regularly for additional information. The website will also track service bul-
letins and other technical information that may have impact on the consumer's engine operation. ILMOR's obligation regarding
such matters is delineated within the ILMOR Limited Warranty Statement, found within this Owner's Manual.
Because of ILMOR's commitment to continual product improvement, some alterations may occur to the current model MV8
after the publication of this Owner's Manual. Realistically, this Owner's Manual also cannot address every potential issue that may
arise from the operation and use of the MV8. A reasonable effort was made to make this Owner's Manual as accurate and complete
as possible, but photographs and drawings may be only representational. Suppliers may also change or alter product. The informa-
tion provided discusses the topics and issues most critical to ensuring a successful, long-term ownership of the MV8 engine.
