1961 Mercury Outboard Manual
Mercury Marine was founded by Carl Kiekhaefer in 1939 under the name of Kiekhaefer Corporation of Cedarburg WI. Mercury has consistently emphasized quality, performance, innovation and reliability. For example, in 1947 Mercury came out with their “Full-Jeweled Power” anti-friction ball, roller and needle bearings in all major bearing locations. In 1952 Mercury released a splined propshaft to end the problem of shearing pins. In 1961 Mercury introduced Mercruiser sterndrives to the Marine Industry. With the first sterndrive propulsion system with more than 100 HP Mercury also produced the first production outboard with 100 HP in 1962.
