Even if you know more about marine outboard parts than the average “landlubber”, you may still not be a full-fledged expert. So, which marine outboard parts should you be buying?

If given the choice, opt for Mercury outboard parts.
Why?

Mercury’s outboard parts have been around for decades.In fact, Mercury was one of the first companies to manufacture marine engines – and they have been a pioneer ever since. Unlike other companies who got their start in cars or motorcycles and then moved onto boats, Mercury has been a boating company ever since it was created back in the 1940’s. Mercury outboard parts are what made the company a household name – not car engines or motorcycle parts.

And, unlike other companies, Mercury has never been satisfied to rest on its laurels. Instead, Mercury has spent decades coming up with new boating products.

In fact, Mercury started coming up with new additions to the boating world so rapidly that it even created a sub-company called MerCruiser. The very first MerCruiser engine was the very first sterndrive engine in the world to have more than 100 horsepower. MerCruiser parts came into the world with a bang, and they’ve kept going ever since!

Mercury has been such a leader in the marine industry that even a halfway-decent marine parts retailer will have Mercury stuff in stock. By having either Mercury or MerCruiser engines, you can rest easy knowing that you’ll be able to get replacement parts quickly and affordably, from a variety of retailers.

But what is it about Mercury and MerCruiser parts that make them so good?
Take a look at any marine outboard parts diagram, and you will see the difference. Mercury and MerCruiser engines literally run like “well-oiled machines”. Even if you aren’t a marine outboard parts expert, you will be able to scan over a Mercury or MerCrusier marine outboard parts diagram and see that no detail is left to chance.

Because of that attention to detail, Mercury and MerCruiser parts are some of the most reliable out on the water. With them, you can feel free to head miles offshore – without worrying that you will have to call the tow service to bring you back!

And, luckily, Mercury did one very important thing when it created its marine engines; it designed them like car engines. So, if you know your way around a car engine, you will be able to find your way around a Mercury engine. That way, if something ever does go wrong, you won’t literally be “up the river without a paddle”!
