Fishing Frenzy

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.

Perhaps the most important lessons they have learned is that when their customers are heading out on the water their primary concerns are the reliability and durability of their motor. If they are worried about whether they are going to safely get back to land they will not be able to enjoy their time away from land.

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 be sure that every motor they produce can work effectively for a long time, each one is built entirely of stainless steel. This metal is incredibly resistant to corrosion even from salt water. No corrosion means that the components of the motor will remain strong.

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.

There is little doubt as to why Mercury outboard motors have been around for over seventy years. They combine good old fashioned reliability with the newest technology to give their customer the best of both worlds.
