Looks like this marks the official end of the two stroke outboard. 150 Pro XS is now a four stroke.
175,200 and 225 a V-6 four stroke that weighs 475 pounds. 15 and 20 horsepower outboards are four stroke.
Personally love the two strokes but really have to give Mercury credit for the engineering of these complete new lines of engines.
There are still a few optimax engines offered but the new four strokes seem to cover all the horsepower ranges.
Will be interesting to see what Mercury Racing’s line up will be.

[2us70]

The new 4 stroke motor in a 225 would be 40 pounds lighter than our current 225 opti. Might be a good deal.

[FMP]

Get the best audio recording you can of your V6 two stroke and pipe it through your boats stereo when running these .

Bob Patterson, of Patterson Headers(Los Angeles) fame, racing his Mercury Outboard powered offshore...http://i57.tinypic.com/uvcpk.jpg


This must be a 'TYPO', Fuji?

Beside making the first set of stainless steel, water cooled headers , Bob Patterson was an inboard Marathon Racer--I first met him at Parker 1968. Bob Patterson was also the guy to go to with your V-1710 or V-1650 problems.

But Bob Patterson never raced an Offshore Power Boat across the Gulf Stream---

Bob Magoon did--many times--usually with a lot of success---

Bob Magoon passed away January 10, 2018---

Could rig up something like an aerobatic airplanes smoke kit and just use two stroke oil instead of smoke oil.

[FMP]

They do look good. A couple holes above the cav, two smoke oil injection just bellow the cats.They do have cats?
The cowl, I know. An old sea king 15 turned backwards, that's why I like it.

Would be pretty funny. Emissions clean with smoke and smell of an old school two stroke.

I agree with ya Gary; the hard edges do look way better than the boiled shrimp-looking things we've seen lately, and it would look pretty neat on a modern tunnel, but to my eyes none of them look as good as the older motors. (The I6 towers are still my favorite!)

[QUOTE=OLEGATOR;3026555]part of the tommy bartlett water ski show. got to drive one when they did a show in orlando, they did not allow me to jump. mk 25 on speedliner hull with approx 3/4" bottom. at the time, i thought i had died and gone to heaven. my boss, tommy hagood, tommy bartlett and mr kiekhaeer were buds.
In 1965 I was sent to Wis Dells to help rig the Bartlett boats for the upcoming season. I had the chance to put on over the ramp but chickened out - we needed two jump boats for the show and if I crashed one I am sure my two month old Mercury career woud have been over -

Kinda like the bronze carriers?

[bernie]

Kinda like the bronze carriers?

Hardest part about casting a different alloy is the rate of shrink - tooling designed for aluminum shrinkage , then steel doesn't shrink as much, hopefully able to just machine off the excess. Bronze bearing carrier probably doesn't shrink like an aluminum one either. For a few parts not hard to do but a big run of them would require major tooling changes. When I had the sand cast foundry cast me aluminum flywheel rings in the steel molds not a big deal because the entire flywheel ring got machined. I had two flywheels made, one went on my M1350, the other I sent to Hi-Perf as an idea - and low and behold, aluminum race flywheels came about. This was around 1969-70.

Pretty amazing looking at this picture and remembering when Marine World was at this location. You wouldn’t recognize the area now compared to this photo! Marine world is gone as it was then and moved to Vallejo, California. Not sure if they even have the waterski and boat show any more. It’s a Six Flags Amuesement Park now.
The old location is now Redwood Shores and nothing but apartments and condo’s. Part of the peninsula huge and insane growth since Silicon Valley and .com.

When Mariner was introduced back in mid 70's, I remember sitting in a big pow wow in the Merc Auditorium where we were told it would be International only - I don't think it was two years later there were Mariner dealers everywhere in the US to counter the Johnson/ Evinrude market. I came very close to being Fond du Lac's Mariner dealer put couldn't pull the financing together to lease a shop, get boat lines, parts inventory, full engine lineup, etc.

Back when Mariner was first around a lot of the smaller motors were not even built in North America.

Mariner was Mercury helping Yamaha start a global business, didnt make sense then, now they are sorry

[jackiewilson]

Thought the deal was supposed to be, Mercury made all motors above 55 hp and Yamaha those under. Reciprocal trade world wide ?—— which simply didn’t happen. Yamaha were racing V6 Mercs in no time flat——- slippery little buggers——- musta been hard to screw a deal together back then.

[powerabout]

The 55 was the engine they started with in Asia (copy of a 2 cyl omc but more powerfull)
Had a merc lower unit with all steel parts in seawater as typical of merc in those days.
You can still buy a new carby one today in Asia but bottom end is yam.

[bernie]

In the beginning, that was where the product line stopped, at 60 hp 2 cylinder, Yammy made. Don't remember how long it was before the bigger motors (Fond du Lac made) started to get painted grey. My brother in law wanted a motor, we could get a deal on Mariners, he wanted like a 70 but wanted a Merc because he didn't want "Jap junk". Didn't know that his motor came out of FDL.
Later on Yamaha got into the "dumping" issue, and Brunswick won that lawsuit. But somebody screwed up the deal and there was no clause anywhere that said Yam had to sell Merc service parts - so to get even they cut off all service part sales to Merc. Merc was replacing entire motors for a while because they couldn't get parts. Gotta love big business.

Not quite correct. I was in Yammer school when the judgement/settlement litigation went down and YamahaCo couldn't have been any happier....and Brunswick continued to prove they could step on their own dicks with the best of them.

"2/4/2005 - Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. settled its lawsuit today with Brunswick Corp. over the sale of Yamaha-manufactured 75 - 115 horsepower four-stroke powerheads to Brunswick. Yamaha will continue to manufacture these powerheads in the existing quantities and prices specified under their agreement until it expires in March, 2006. After that time, Yamaha will no longer build or supply these powerheads to Brunswick. Brunswick Corp. v. Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., No. 04-C-854 (E.D. Wis.)
The dispute arose after Brunswick initiated a dumping investigation and included these 75 - 115 horsepower four-stroke powerheads in its dumping complaint. Yamaha agreed to continue to sell these powerheads to Brunswick only if Brunswick either excluded these powerheads from the dumping investigation or agreed to pay higher (non-dumped) prices for them. Brunswick filed suit in Wisconsin federal court Sept. 7, 2004, demanding that Yamaha continue selling at the price Brunswick said in its dumping complaint was an unlawful dumped price. The lawsuit resulted in a concurrent arbitration proceeding as well.
In November, 2004, despite having gone to federal court and defended its inclusion of the powerheads in the dumping complaint before that court, Brunswick withdrew the United States specification powerheads being made for Brunswick by Yamaha from the dumping investigation; and on Dec. 28, 2004, the Department of Commerce accepted this withdrawal in its final margin calculation.
On Feb. 2, 2005, the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled in Yamaha's favor (https://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_123/dumping_20.html) and announced a negative decision in its final phase anti-dumping investigation concerning outboard engines from Japan. "Yamaha has consistently stated that from the day that Brunswick filed its complaint that there wasn't any dumping," stated Phil Dyskow, president of the Marine Group of Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. "We appreciate the fact the ITC investigated the facts, listened to our arguments and voted in favor of our position."
"This entire litigation could have been avoided," explained Russell D. Jura, general counsel of Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., "By not following prudent business practices, Brunswick precipitated the expenditure of excessively large legal fees and costs for both parties for no reason whatsoever.
"Brunswick's last-minute withdrawal of these powerheads from the dumping investigation and the final ITC ruling is a complete vindication of Yamaha's position," continued Jura. "The American public and Yamaha have won and Brunswick has lost. Now, we can put this matter behind us and invest our time and resources into better serving our customers and the boating public."

Somewhere in my certificate records I have the press release Yammie handed out to us.

[powerabout]

Yam still got successfully sued several other times for dumping engines then the last one re stealing company data from OMC/Volvo.
that stuck, cant buy a Yam sterndrive in the USA/Australia can you, then I think they folded that up without access to the USA market.
You might find they are making them for Toyota in Japan..
