Mercury Through The Years...

[FUJIMO]

...The Finished Product...In the final stages of process, Mercury engines are cleaned & ready to be boxed - As a final step, they are placed in a sturdy container to await a customer order...http://www.sportfishingmag.com/sites/sportfishingmag.com/files/styles/medium_1x_/public/images/2016/01/image-14-assembly-final.jpg?itok=5OI4UAIP

...MerCruiser Assembly...Mercury/MerCruiser sterndrive engines are assembled differently than outboard products. These engines travel through the assembly process on pallets, moving from station to station. The assemblers work instruction is listed on a touch panel in the workstation, telling the assembler the procedure to perform. When the work element is complete, it is checked off on the touch screen, allowing the engine to move forward...http://www.sportfishingmag.com/sites/sportfishingmag.com/files/styles/medium_1x_/public/images/2016/01/image-13-assembly-components.jpg?itok=BFY_Fmvs

Would be so cool to do a engine plant tour in person. :D;)

...MerCruiser Testing...As a final stage for sterndrives, MerCruiser engines are placed in a test room and connected to a diagnostic computer. This computer runs a series of tests to ensure the quality of the product before being boxed and ready for delivery...http://www.sportfishingmag.com/sites/sportfishingmag.com/files/styles/medium_1x_/public/images/2016/01/image-12-testing-dyno.jpg?itok=zvsOUIwX

Dave,

Once did a tour of the Yamaha factory in Japan (1978), first time I ever saw Robots at work.
One of those devices painted the motors which were hanging from hooks on an assembly line, then they disappeared behind a curtain-------I took a sneaky peek and was surprised to see a little chap with a spray gun, reaching the parts that the robots could not reach-------was chastised for looking in a restricted area-------even in those days there was a lot of secret Sh-t.

Dave,

One of those devices painted the motors which were hanging from hooks on an assembly line, then they disappeared behind a curtain-------I took a sneaky peek and was surprised to see a little chap with a spray gun, reaching the parts that the robots could not reach-------was chastised for looking in a restricted area-------even in those days there was a lot of secret Sh-t.

Did a tour of General Motors Proving Ground in Arizona in the late 90's. Saw some pretty cool stuff there. Allways wanted to go to Lake X.

This picture/motor is featured on the front cover of the 1950 Mercury Sales brochure.

Gene, so that pump & the truck are about the same age? Nothing wrong with the older Fords, Dave. I had a '68 swb stepside 4x4, 390 4 bbl 4 speed, 3.91(?) gears, bad azz little ride. Hard to beat stop light to stop light, if you used 4wd. Figured that out WAY before these late model diesel guys :cool:

Gene - Always a pleasure to see "Old Blue" again...:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Old Blue and Kiekhaefer/Mercury go all the way back to 1968--over half a million miles--lots of history--lots of great memories:)

That picture was taken at the salt water testing station at the end of siesta key around 1965! The guy driving is Milt Roper who ran the "boat house bulletin rigging shop. He was later fired for addressing Mr. Keykahafer by his first name Carl while working on race boats at lake X .

Wow, I just spent a couple hours looking through all the pictures in this awesome thread, thanks Fujimo! People would probably be interested to know that Helen was Miss University of Florida in the early 50s, where she attended college and was a cheerleader.

Looks like the Still Crazy aluminum cat boat that Richard Fulham was killed in. Up until that boat he raced the Still Crazy Velocity.

Wasn't the Jessie James, parked to the left of Still Crazy, the boat that submarined in Key West in 1986 costing Mark Lavin his life? If that is the case, it is a bit eerie that those two boat are about to become involved in fatal crashes.

I thought they were in the Conquest hull in the accident

I always thought that was correct. My brother and I used to see the Jesse James come into Westport CT harbor when we were 10. You could here that thing coming from a mile away. RIP Mark.

Those suckers get hot.

Marshall Eldredge told me when he was finishing racing lower units he worked them in batches of 5 ... 4 were in line cooling down as he worked on each one.

He also said it was tireing work and usually ended in carelessness ... pushing sideways on the belt, forcing it off the wheel ... and ... did the belt hit his arm or side or just randomly somewhere? No, he said the belt slapped him in the face everytime.

Unbelievable...You have taken us into every aspect of Mercury manufacturing from outboards to inboards to outdrives to props and more. Pictures the actual furnaces, the casting departments, inspections, assembly departments, painting departments and so much more. You have taken us were very few will ever be able to go. This is not longer just a thread - it is an education. I am sure that I speak for everyone on this site when I say....Thank You for taking the time to include us in your tour :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

FUGIMO, what years were the Mariner Ski motors built. 175EFI 2:1 gears, was a guy on our lake that had one he used to beat up the 200's with it. Pretty sure it didn't have a rev limiter because he sure sounded like it revved over 6k.

Have no idea. I have learned one thing over the years regarding the various brands of V-6 outboards, whether in a single engine application, or a multiple... A 300 horse, is a 300 horse...a 150 horse is a 150 horse...etc., etc., etc... They all will produce the same performance numbers on a given hull, given minor setup variables. Your example of comparison has many, many variables. Different hulls, gearcases & ratios, propellers, installed heights, max rpm's, etc.
