Mercury Marine Alternator

Alternator for Mercury Outboard

In 1939, Carl Kiekhaefer purchased a small outboard motor company in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. Included with the purchase of this company were 300 defective and inoperable engines, so Kiekhaefer and his team got to work rebuilding them. When the engines were brought back to life, they were sold to a mail-order company called Montgomery Ward who’d promptly placed a second order. This was the beginning of Mercury Marine. Although there is no business connection to the Ford Motor Company, the Mercury name was intentionally lifted from them in order to ride the coattails of the popularity and success of Ford’s Mercury brand of cars. Today, Mercury Marine is a leading supplier of marine engines, sterndrives, inboard and outboard motors, competition boat racing engines, and snowmobiles. Mercury Marine is also a partner with General Motors. In 1986, using designs by Lotus Engineering, General Motors and Mercury Marine created the LT-5 V8 engine; the dual overhead cam V8 that provides the muscle that motivates the legendary 1990-1995 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1. Mercury Marine currently produces a line of performance marine engines based off of the generation 4 small-block V8 architecture known as the LS series of GM engines.
