Overview
New to the Skier's Choice (Supra and Moomba) 2008 engine is the Assault 6.0L. It is a new high-tech inboard that delivers horses and torque that rivals the big blocks in a smaller, lighter, package. This high-tech powerhouse is based on the new Gen IV Vortec 6000 truck engine. It's brain is Delphi's most advanced water resistant ECM (Electronic Control Module) the MEFI-5 hardware/software system. The MEFI-5 system is custom calibrated by Indmar to provide maximum performance and drive ability. By custom calibrating the ECM to match hull design requirements and the intended boat application this process allows boat and motor to perform as one seamless unit. The three-dimensional system precisely manages fuel, ignition and air. It is programmed to deliver the power skiers' and wake boarders' need, plus the classic turnkey starts, unhesitating dependability and fuel efficiency that only Indmar can deliver.
Because of Indmar's advanced programming of the 6.0L it offers full power potential across the board, from initial acceleration (bottom end) through mid-range all the way to very strong top end performance.
The Assault offers even more with Indmar's ETC system (Electronic throttle and cruise) now standard. The Indmar developed system allows the helm throttle control to electronically connect to the engine's ECM. Throttle response is quick and smooth. The Electronic Throttle Control with Cruise feature is a bonus to recreational water-ski and wakeboard families.
The Assault 6.0L carries the Indmar 3-year limited warranty that includes fuel and electrical systems.
Certified: Three Stars Ultra-Low Emission by California Air Resources Board 2007.
Note: All Skier's Choice Models are available as Salt Water Specific engines.
Experienced saltwater boaters will be the first to appreciate the extensive list of saltwater-specific details found in the Skier's Choice SS series. All marinized parts are E-coated, an advanced electro-coat dip process that provides optimum protection against corrosion. Unlike paints or powder coating, E-coating completely covers both external and internal surfaces, creating a permanent-paint-to-metal bond. Will not peel. Will not crack. Corrosion will not put a dent in it.
SS Cooling systems are totally closed and corrosion free. Saltwater never enters an SS engine system. It uses only propylene-glycol/water coolant driven by a high-flow pump. Coolant tanks are easily accessible for filling and maintenance and are equipped with sacrificial anodes for extended life.
Each Skier's Choice SS engine is protected by the same three-year limited warranty that backs every OEM installed Skier's Choice engine.
