5.7 TKS
Our largest carbureted engine, the 5.7 TKS is designed for boaters looking for lots of power and value. The big displacement V-8 power makes it perfect for boats in need of the extra torque that only cubic inches can provide. A great choice for everything from pontoons to express cruisers, the 5.7 TKS offers the value of a carbureted engine with user-friendly features such as our patented Turn Key Starting (TKS) system for instant no-choke starts, high-energy ignition, extended maintenance intervals and platinum-tipped spark plugs for crisp performance and long life.
