Company Adds Manufacturing Space, Meets Global Customer Demand ▼ FOND DU LAC, Wis. (Sept. 13, 2022) – Mercury Racing, a division of Brunswick Corporation (NYSE:BC), held a ground-breaking ceremony today for its manufacturing operations plant expansion to help meet global customer demand for the company’s high-performance marine propulsion systems.
The two-phase construction project will add 40,000 square feet of manufacturing operations space to the southwest corner of the existing Fond du Lac, Wis. facility and expand the current propeller shop by 8,000 square feet on the north side of the building. The project will bring the Racing facility to nearly 150,000 square feet.
Robalo R302 Center Console / Twin Yamaha 300HP Outboards ▼ One of the most critical aspects of every center console’s performance is at what RPM the vessel gets on plane. It is here that the Sharrow Propeller's performance is remarkable. It can be seen clearly in the charts that the boat is nearly on plane at 2500 RPM and 15.4 mph.
The conventional props tested on the Robalo R302 were stainless steel 15.25” x 19” (38.73 cm x 48.26 cm). The Sharrow props were 15.04” x 19” (38.02 cm x 48.26 cm).
GALEON 325 GTO / TWIN MERCURY 400 HP OUTBOARDS Sharrow Marine collected data on a Galeon 325 GTO with twin Mercury 400 HP outboards. The boat has a L.O.A of 32’ 9” and a beam of 10’ 11” and a deadrise of 21. Dry weight is listed as 14,200 lbs. and the estimated test weight was 15,200 lbs. The customer asked us to develop a propeller that would get the boat on plane at a lower RPM and keep it on plane at lower RPM to allow a greater range of cruising speeds.
The event takes place in Lake Wales, FL. Josh Pomerleau organizes the event at the Camp Mack Guy Harvey Resort, and it includes breakfast and dinner, live music, raffles, and of course, lots of fast boating!
