A new design and liquid-cooled engine for 1976 powered Sno-Twister drivers to wins in every stock, junior and women’s class, and all but one Mod Stock class, while Stan Hayes qualified for the World Championship final. But it wasn’t enough.
In the mid 1990s, the future viability of a second outboard brand was debated. While the distribution issue lessened as more boats and motors were sold as a package by U.S. boat builders, Mariner enjoyed a far larger market share internationally than at home. Still, the perception remained that OMC would enjoy a “two-to-one advantage” with its dual outboard brands. more
Mariner was originally built under a joint venture with Yamaha, which was ended by the Federal Trade Commission’s ruling that the agreement hindered competition. By the early ’80s, Mariner and Mercury were becoming more similar than different. When electronic fuel injection was introduced in 1986, the transition was complete; the two outboards were mechanically the same. more
Rival engine builder Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC) sold two outboard brands, Johnson and Evinrude. While Mercury enjoyed equal market share in the category, it was thought that a second outboard line could boost Mercury Marine’s distribution, both in the U.S. and internationally.
However, the economies of scale did not bode well for a two-brand strategy. With less risk of losing U.S. sales through a larger number of committed boat builders, the savings in manufacturing and marketing costs for a single outboard brand would be significant. more
An expert R&D team that included brothers Stan Hayes and Doug Hayes — winning racers for Polaris — and engine specialist Les Cahoon designed a competitive snowmobile for the 1973-74 season called the Sno-Twister that went on to dominate racing and change public perception of the Mercury snowmobile brand.
Honda continues its commitment to high performance, fuel efficiency and environmental excellence, and leveraging their experience, expertise and engineering from other parts of the company to improve their marine products.
“Honda Marine outboards can power almost any type of boat, and we work to ensure that every Honda Marine motor – ranging from 2.3 to 250 horsepower – sets the standard for fuel efficiency and ease of operation while staying true to the core Honda attributes of durability, quality, reliability and quiet operation,” said William H. Walton III, vice president and business management officer of the Honda Power Equipment Division of American Honda Motor Co. here
Last year the number of first-time boat buyers rose for the first time in over 10 years, and among these new boat buyers, the average age decreased for the first time in 20 years.
“With boats continuing to grow bigger and performance expectations continuing to rise, boaters have been asking for a better, more capable high-horsepower solution to meet their needs. The V12 Verado outboard is Mercury’s answer,” said Drees. [links]

“This high production volume, coupled with precision manufacturing techniques and advanced engineering, gives Honda Marine the ability to best serve the heart of the marine market and make boating accessible to new enthusiasts,” Walton added.
Outboard motors are more reliable than ever before. However, just like any motor, parts and components will require replacing on a regular basis. It's recommended that you inspect your marine water pump impeller once a year or every 100 operating hours, whichever comes first. The model-specific maintenance schedule for your outboard water pump can be found in your operator's manual. By regularly inspecting and checking your raw water pump, you'll be better able to tell when something is amiss or needs replacing.
The engine water pump impeller is typically the most common cause of water circulation and overheating issues. This small, round disc has spinning blades that help to move water throughout the circuit of the outboard motor. When it's broken, the supply of water stops, resulting in an overheated engine.
The engine water pump is a crucial component of any outboard, but most people can't remember the last time they had their water pump serviced or even replaced. And if that's the case, it's probably time to replace it. Marine engine cooling pumps and water pump impellers help to extend the life of your outboard boat's engine. But, if you're using a damaged or worn out water pump, it can result in costly repairs. We're taking a look at how to tell if a water pump is bad and how to replace it with a new one when the time comes. here
