- 1965-1975 (Mercury Focus): This decade saw the development of the powerful inline 6-cylinder engines, often called the “Tower of Power,” with models reaching up to 150 HP (Merc 1500). Innovations included the rubber water pump rotor and jet-prop exhaust systems.
- 1976-1989 (Mariner Introduction): The Mariner brand was widely launched in the US and Europe in 1976, offering models that shared technology with Mercury and Yamaha. This era introduced more robust, mid-range 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder configurations, as well as the high-performance V6 Black Max series (2.4L and 2.5L displacements).
- Technology: These engines utilized either point-type or Thunderbolt CD (Capacitor Discharge) electronic ignition systems, known for their reliability.
- Ignition: The electrical ignition components (stators, switch boxes) are prone to failure due to age and heat.
- Fuel Systems: Carburetors and fuel pumps often require regular cleaning or rebuilding with kits due to modern ethanol fuels degrading older materials.
- Cooling: Regular inspection and replacement of the water pump impeller is crucial for preventing engine damage.
