Mercruiser Marine, founded in 1939, is a division of Brunswick of Lake Forest, Illinois, in the United States. Mercruiser provides engines for private, commercial and government sales. Mercruiser also has its own line of racing engines tailored for power and speed. The company's primary business is outboard motors. Mercruiser Outboards, 30 Hp and less, are made by Tohatsu in Japan.[1] Mercruiser Marine builds 40, 50 and 60 horsepower outboard motors in Suzhou, China.[2] Mercruiser also manufactures engines over 75 horsepower in their Fond du Lac, Wisconsin hub in the USA.

The company began when engineer Carl Kiekhaefer purchased a small outboard motor company in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. Kiekhaefer's original intention for the Kiekhaefer Corporation was to make magnetic separators for the dairy industry. The purchase included 300 defective outboard motors. Kiekhaefer and a small staff of employees rebuilt the motors and sold them to Montgomery Ward, a mail-order company. The motors were much improved, so the buyer purchased more. Kiekhaefer designed motors that withstood the elements better than his competition and called the motor Mercruiser after the Roman god.[3] Kiekhaefer took more than 16,000 orders at the 1940 New York Boat Show.
