Some Information About Mercury Outboard Motors

By James Bennett


When beginning your search for a new outboard motor it may seem a bit overwhelming. There are just so many to choose from. Mercury outboard motors are certainly worth a closer look. Mercury has over seventy years of experience building marine engines and along the way they have learned a great many things about what customers want from their motors.

Every aspect of these engines is designed to ensure that they will safely move a boat on the water for years, regardless of whether the boat is used in fresh or salt water. They know that their customers need to feel secure that the motor that takes them out on the water will just as reliably get them back to shore.

To these ends, Mercury has a motor test center that makes sure that every engine is functioning properly before it leaves the factory. Each motor is put through a stringent series of tests that check big issues like fuel burning efficiency and power output as well as nuisance issues like noise and vibration levels.

To ensure that their motors can withstand the rigors of moving a boat through the water for a long time they are all made from stainless steel. This ensures that corrosion is not an issue, even in harsh salt water.

Its possible that the biggest selling point to these engines is that they monitor themselves. Each comes installed with the Engine Guardian system. This software continuously checks over forty different parameters that affect the engine's performance. If it detects a problem it will immediately cut back on the amount of power the motor puts out. This keeps the motor running so you can get back to land while keeping the damage done to it to a minimum.

Throughout their seventy plus year history the Mercury company has been devoted to providing the most reliable and long lasting engines to their customers. That is why if you are looking for the best way to get your boat from the shore out on the water and back again, a Mercury outboard motor may be the answer.
