Mercury Outboard Motors | Outboard Motor Sales

Mercury

The principal business of Mercury Marine, which is a sub-division of the Brunswick Corporation, is outboard motors. Mercury deliver engines for private, commercial and government sales and they even have their own line of racing engines with less fuel efficiency and more focus at power and speed.

Mercury Outboards, 30 Hp and less, are made by Tohatsu in Japan, larger size engines manufactured in China and engines over 100 hp in their Fond du Lac hub.

Today, Mercury product brands include Mercury, Mercury Racing, MerCruiser, and Mariner outboards (sold outside the U.S.). Outboard sizes range from 2.5 horsepower (1.9 kW) to 300 horsepower (220 kW). Subsidiaries include Mercury Precision Parts and Accessories as well as Mercury propellers and Mercury Jet Drives. In the U.S. Mercury outboards, from 30 hp and below are rebadged Tohatsus.

In 2007 Mercury Marine began selling its Zeus drive system. Developed by Mercury and its joint venture company Cummins MerCruiser Diesel (CMD), the Zeus drive is a dual engine pod drive system. Some of the most notable benefits from this class design for boaters will be enhanced helm control. While underway an automated trim control feature simplifies operation. Also, Zeus includes Skyhook Electronic AnchorTM which will keep a vessel on a fixed heading within a tight range. The system might be called all weather as it will keep a heading in strong currents and winds.

Mercury Marine is the one of the world’s leading providers of marine propulsion. As a $2.3 billion division of Brunswick Corporation, Mercury and its 6,200 employees worldwide provide engines, boats, services and parts for recreational, commercial and government marine applications.
