A lot of blood, sweat and tears can be for the production of the first engine after they were from Montgomery Ward, the mercury has been given the mandate to form his name in Roman mythology went to a good start.
Threatened with closure due to lack of World War II out of materials and supplies, manufacturers, Kiekhaefer Corporation, quickly turned and began to supply the war effort.
It 'was all because of one man, a native of Wisconsin, EG' Carl 'Kiekhaefer, who visitedProfessional school with a focus on practical power and automotive industries. With an interest in all types of agricultural machinery, has decided to open a branch in 1938, when the plant shut down Cedarburg Wisconsin. With the help of his father and citizen, Carl took the lead of the plant and decided, future production.
With an inventory of engines that came with the acquisition, Carl has been a good start with the Mercury brand, though the war between them.
Soon past the supplyForces with generators, chainsaws, compressors, development and construction of lightweight engines for four years, which led him to conduct research and develop the range of 2-stroke engine technology helped. Shortly after the war was the model 1946 Mercury Kiekhaefer Inc. on the launch pad.
The more room for expansion, has moved its manufacturing facility as well as Carl, the headquarters of the dairy has acquired in Font du Lac, Wisconsin, his home state.
Competitionwas between Carl Kiekhaefer Corporation and Evinrude / Johnson, and stiff set increasingly improved flood models on the market with the outside world speed record of Mercury in 1960, merged his company with Carl Brunswick Corp. in 1961.
The merger had taken the money in part for Carl, but he found himself increasingly sidelined because it is not in apposition is in office. Although he died in 1983, shortly after the decision to leave the organization that once built hisown, started Carl Kiekhaefer Aeromarine Motors. But the promotion of Mercury from Brunswick has helped her lead the market today.
The Mercury brand, giving the opportunity to contribute to Roman mythology, outboard engines, Powerheads, lower units, outboard propellers, and spare parts over. Mercury outboard motors from 2 hp to 350 hp.
Recent introductions include Mercury Marine Flyway 25 EFI four-stroke outboard, Jet 80 and OptiMax Jet 110 outboard engines andThe 15 Pro Kicker HP four-stroke outboard.
And the litmus test of the Mercury outboard powerboat racing has seen exhausting. Even in the non-stop 24-hour race, with breaks only for the exchange of driver fuel and in Rouen, France in May last year, has shown that boats powered by Mercury continue to earn in a test event for the 16 time in 17 years.
