  • Building on a Heritage of Innovation and Performance
    BUILDING ON A HERITAGE OF INNOVATION AND PERFORMANCE. Over 70 years of the world’s best marine engineering and innovation; a heritage of leading edge technology, performance, fuel economy and advanced reliability; standards that surpass all industry and consumer expectations. Since the beginning in 1939, Mercury Marine has built durable, powerful and innovative small horsepower portable outboard engines. Incorporating innovations throughout the years, including through prop exhaust, first seen on the 1957 Mark-10, Capacitor Discharge Ignition, dual water pickups and Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), currently available on the 25 and 30hp FourStroke, and that’s only a snapshot. Nobody has a more thorough understanding of Portable outboards and the features they require than Mercury Marine. With 25 models in 66 configurations, ranging from 30hp to 2.5hp Mercury have the right portable option for you. Explore the range of Mercury portables and see why more boaters are starting up a Mercury. Mercury outboards are simply the best, most refined engines money can buy for any marine application. 33 Mercury Innovation Mercury Extreme Reliability Boating is not often thought of as a harsh environment. Just stop and think about it. Marine engines can and are often used for extended periods at wide-open throttle in harsh saltwater and full UV sunlight. Then sit in storage over the off season, in some cases without any use. At Mercury, we test our engines mercilessly and use those results to make them even more reliable. The tougher the test, the tougher the engine. We put our engines through tests such as vicious log strikes, saltwater spray booths, high humidity chambers and hot and cold water temperatures.

M.S.Egr., Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Wright State University, 2010. Computational Study of Direct Fuel Injection in the Rotax 914 Engine. Direct injection spark ignition (DISI) is a fuel delivery method in which the fuel is introduced directly into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine. Although direct fuel injection was first pioneered in the early 1920’s, it has only recently become a reliable option due to advances made in control systems and injection technology. Direct injection enables increased fuel efficiency and higher power output than a conventional Port Fuel Injection (PFI) system. By delivering pressurized fuel directly into the cylinder, the degree of fuel atomization and the fuel vaporization rate are increased.
