Merc reports big engine demand

High Horse Engines

May 14, 2020

Mercury Marine parent Brunswick Corp. resumed production of some outboards a couple of weeks ago, beginning with the line that produces its newest platform — 175- to 300-hp outboards — as well as the 450 Racing engine.

That’s according to Brunswick CEO Dave Foulkes, who detailed first-quarter results to investors and analysts on a conference call at the end of April.

“That was an area where we consistently had the highest demand and where inventory levels had gotten to their lowest point,” Foulkes said on the call. “Now we’ve started production of the 400- and 450-hp line, and we’ll gradually introduce other lines. We’re managing this to make sure all our new protocols for health and safety work.”
