Mariner outboard motors are manufactured by Mercury Marine, a division of Brunswick Corporation. This connection provides access to Mercury’s extensive engineering, manufacturing, and distribution network. For consumers, this often translates to readily available parts and service.
The relationship between these brands provides advantages such as leveraging established technology and manufacturing capabilities, leading to reliable and efficient outboards. Historically, Mariner outboards were marketed as a more budget-friendly option, often utilizing slightly older Mercury designs. This strategy allowed a wider range of boaters access to dependable propulsion systems.
