⭕ We are selling a 2009 Mercruiser 496 Mag Axius DTS from Mercury Marine, serial number 1A35XXXX. The MerCruiser Axius 496 Mag is a drive that can be used in any application that utilizes two MerCruiser stern drives, and delivers the same astonishingly agile handling with a joystick that its big sister the pod drive does. Best of all, it doesnt require hull modification! Also includes Mercury Axius gimball for Bravo drives, transom backing plate and trim pump.

What is Axius?

Axius is a system that uses computer technology to manage independently articulating stern drives providing incredible maneuverability. It can swing a boat in its own length and is able to move in any direction of the compass. Its so simple, just about anyone can use it with minimum training. You can honestly be on the job in 30 minutes! Using electronics and hydraulics in conjunction, the Axius system takes inputs from the SmartCraft Digital Throttle and Shift for the stern drive and the SmartCraft Joystick Docking System for state-of-the-art control.

How Axius works

Once Axius is in control mode, the joystick and you are in control. Push the joystick in any direction and the boat moves in that direction. Push it further and it increases speed in that direction. A more gentle touch can have you in a slip without anyone even feeling the dock sway!

Benefits of Axius

In addition to ease of use, Axius also features performance benefits. Axius delivers higher top speeds and better fuel economy, and it gets the boat on plane faster as well as improving the handling and maneuverability. Features 30-40% better fuel economy at average cruise and 20-30% at wide open throttle. With Axius you can maintain up to 15-25% lower, planing speeds and reach better top speeds at up to 20-25% faster.
