The high-performance division of Mercury Marine marked its 50th anniversary with the introduction of the supercharged V-8 outboard.
Diesel outboards continue to improve as do electrical engines. How long before they give traditional gas-powered motors a run for their money?
The new Helm Master EX incorporates autopilot, digital steering and joystick control for smaller boats with single engines. But can it move the boat sideways?
Critters abound in salt water, just waiting to wreak havoc on sea water-cooled systems. Here’s how to keep ’em at bay.
Word from investment circles is that Volkswagen is looking to increase its holdings in MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG, German manufacturer of marine diesel engines as well
In the pantheon of marine power, no diesel engine can compare with the two-cycle Detroit Diesel. Designed and developed by General Motors in 1938, the engine achieved almost mythic status because its two-stroke combustion cycle (one power stroke for each crankcase rpm) gave it significantly greater power density than diesels using the more common four-stroke combustion cycle (one power stroke for each two rpm).
