Mr. Mercury & Miss Molinari had a nice marriage while it lasted.

~~~~~

Flight on water, the latest evolved motorized destiny.
Speed surpassing the, former V-hull plows pedigree.
Miss Molinari — you excited many of men’s nerves.
Wooden lines proportional bent, to reveal aero curves.
I met you in the early 70s, at Lake Como, thanks dad.
At regattas, you were the envy flower atop the lily pad.
I was young, watching older guys take you water dancing.
Like Fred Astaire, my friends led you over waves prancing.
You were loyal to man’s touch, and a welcomed playmate.
Later many, Astaire-pilots wanted another like you to date.
You were an Italian princess, in both Europe and the states.
We were both young then, a lake’s sunrise glitter on skates.

* Was the new MerCruiser division the icing on the cake, in which it is why Brunswick invested in partnership with Kiekhaefer Mercury?

* In Mercury Marine’s profit-margin ratio, did the MerCruiser division ever surpass the Outboard division's profit revenue?

~~~~~

Looking into the past (1960s), it seems to me, the Brunswick brass saw a lot of potential in the Mercruiser division. The sterndrives were now capable of becoming a major player, in the salt-water recreation craft. As the preferred option choice to, the diesel & inboard engines.

If Mercruiser ever was the major revenue source for Mercury Marine, I think that is fading to be the past. With the advent of the Large Displacement Outboards, getting positive public acceptance, the salt-water craft are constructing & mating up to the big outboards. It is coming full circle, the outboards market demand, is the prominent revenue source for Mercury Marine.

Mercury Lake X a prime location for Mercury Marine to test the new technology.

The future years of being a test driver, are transitioning to non-human pilots.
Even truck drivers are witnessing, a different future-horizon of competition.

I hope the V12 cowl design will rub off on the V8 and V6 families? At least somebody took notes on how much these things weigh and added a handle pocket to the front face of the cowl. Makes removing the cowl much easier with two places to hang on to! Looks like the flip top lid is injected mold plastic?

The oil filter was upside down on Ferrari V12s for a long time. Maybe it still is, but I bet not. I can't see what's under the shroud on the 812 V12 at left. From left to right, 812, Daytona, GTO, Superfast.

I asked on a car message board about changing the Ferrari filters without making a mess

"Here's the trick - the proper oil filters have a stand pipe in them so that the filter retains oil inside to at least the height of the stand pipe. When it's loosened and lifted off vertically, almost all of the oil is retained in the filter and very little drips out (it will also have an anti-drainback valve). More importantly, by keeping oil in the filter when the engine isn't running and not allowing it to drain back into the sump, oil pressure comes up more quickly on a cold start than if the oil pump has to fill up the oil filter first.

The reason I said "proper oil filters" - in some of those photos above, the engines are fitted with nice orange Fram filters. They used to be factory fitment, back in the 60s and 70s. In the late 70s, Fram stopped building the filters with the internal stand pipe... and Ferrari stopped using those Fram filters immediately. Unfortunately, too many people don't know of the change and think that Fram filters are still preferred. There have been a few Ferrari engines lost to Fram filter failures since that standpipe removal as well, It's thought that Fram's quality control dropped way down at the same time as they stopped using the stand pipe.

The proper filters on the V12s as well as the 308/328s now is the UFI filter I have fitted in the photo above, or a Baldwin B253 filter (I've used both, have a few of each on the shelf). Both have the necessary/desirable stand pipe in the filter. If someone really wants orange filters like the old, good Frams, they use the Baldwin B253"

Lotsa bucks spent to eliminate the noise the tell tale water makes - a friend who worked for Harley told me about all the money they spent to perfect the "potato - potato" exhaust sound from the bikes, only to have 90% of the Harley owners modify the exhaust anyway.
