Mercury Marine History of the Company

Mercury Marine turned 75 years old in 2014. Looking back at this exciting history, as with many outboard companies it's roots can be traced back to its very unique founder; Carl Kiekhaefer. Although being labeled the father of Mercury Outboards, its interesting that Kiekhaefer actually worked as a draftsman for Evinrude outboard motors in 1927 however was fired after just 3 months employment with Evinrude. Kiekhaefer had 3 unique qualities that made him less than the ideal employee 1) He had a keen eye to see inherent flaws in mechanical designs, 2) He often fixated and worked tirelessly trying to fix those flaws, 3) He couldn't stand to work alongside anyone that didn't possess those first two qualities. Some 12 years later in 1939, and after working for Stearns Magnetic, Carl and his father took the risk of entrepreneurship by purchasing the largest employer in Cedarburg Wisconsin; Cedarburg Manufacturing Company $25,000. The company was the failing manufacturer of the Thor Outboard Motor. As part of the purchase Kiekhaefer inherited 384 Thor Outboard Motors after they were rejected from a 500 unit order by Montgomery Ward because they simply didn't work. Little to Carl's knowledge and his true desire to get into the Magnetic Separator business, these outboard motors would be the predecessor to the now world famous Mercury Outboard Motors. By 1940 his redesigned & renamed Mercury Outboard Motors (named after the Roman god of speed) were succeeding and therefore yielded Kiekhaefer orders upwards of 32,000 units annually. This was no small feat realizing Evinrude was only producing slightly more than this volume at the time. In January 1940, 5 new Mercury Outboard Models were introduced; the K1, K2, K3, K4 and K5 Outboard Motors with prices ranging from $42.95 - $98.50. And thus Mercury Outboards were born by Kiekhaefer and his 25 employees working 18 hours per day, 7 days a week.

I have a brand new 2011 Suntracker Party Barge 21' Pontoon (two tubes) with a new 2012 Mercury 60HP Bigfoot Motor. The motor has recently been broken in according to Mercury specs.

I am unable to attain full throttle (WOT) with the throttle lever pusher all the way forward. The motor runs fine, but doesn't attain the 5500 - 6000 WOT RPM stated by Mercury. The best performance I can attain with one person on board (160 lb.) is 4400 rpm's at 16.2 mph per my Lowrance GPS Fishfinder unit. Mercury says I should be able to hit 5800 rpm's at 22 mph.

Needless to say I'm very disappointed. I'm having problems with the dealer resolving the motor issue, but I'm still working on them. The motor is equipped with a Black Max 14' (dia.) x 11' (pitch) aluminum blade (3 blades). The tubes are clean so there is no resistance there.Does anyone have any advise for me as to what the problem might be as I continue to get the dealer to see the light.Thanks.new 2012 Mercury 60HP Bigfoot Motor.best performance.is 4400 rpm's.Mercury says I should be able to hit 5800 rpm's.with a Black Max 14' (dia.) x 11' (pitch) aluminum blade (3 blades).OK, let's break it down.WOT should be 5800.

You get 4400. You're 1400 short.Somebody stated that every 2' of pitch you drop will give you 400 RPM increase. This would indicate that you should be going to a 5' pitch prop. This, of course, is preposterous.Let me give you some insight. My Merc 115 HP 4 Stroke was only hitting 4800 RPM with a 13.75 X 15 prop.I put a 13.75 X 13 prop on her, and WOT is now 6200.

Consider, that at my elevation (5,500 feet above sea level), my motor is only putting out about 90 HP, and I have the same lower unit gear ratio (2.33:1) that you do. Far cry 2 jackal quotes. We're not THAT far apart.First, I would say there's no WAY you should be swinging a 14' diameter prop with a 60 HP motor, but I would suggest you try a prop with 9' pitch, and see how she performs.

I'm looking at Solas website, and their prop selector is coming up with maybe a 1311-118-11 11.75' in diameter, and 11' pitch or a 1311-120-10 at 12' diameter by 10' pitch. Re: 60 HP Mercury Bigfoot Performance Questioni have same boat same motor,mine is only a few weeks old also.my wot is 5700 at 23 to 24 mph with one person and light gear and half tank of fuel.the correct prop is 14 x 11,i tried a 14x9 and lost about 8 mph,it did bring my rpm up but lost alot of top end speed,what hole is the motor in by tracker specs it should be in the 2nd from the top,r u trimming up on the motor or leaving it down trimming the motor up will gain u some rpms. I thought that was low so i moved mine up two holes and i lost 2 or 3 mph,so i put it back,when the 20 hour service was done were the plugs changed and at at what gap were they put,for break in the plugs r set tight,should open them up about 8thous more,it sounds to me that ether the throtle cable is not set right or you have plugs set wrong.

The big foot gearcase is there so you can swing a larger diameter prop. The larger diameter prop is there so you have more thrust at lower RPMs for manuevering. That's it in a nut shell. The dealer in this case is probably thinking the same thing.

He's probably wondering why someone would give up the added manueverability (docking and loading on a trailer). I do agree that the rpms might seem low and could be damaging for a 2 stroke motor but this is a 4 stroke and will be just fine.

Most likely the only solution is going to be more HP. A smaller diameter prop will give you more RPM's on the top end but not much more speed and you'll loose that low rpm manueverabilty.

That's not acceptable. Something's not right, and I could be wrong, but I'm betting whatever it is is on the top half of the motor.

Hopefully he'll let us know what's going on. Re: 60 HP Mercury Bigfoot Performance QuestionThe very first thing to do before spending money on props, discussing the issue with the dealer who apparently is not interested in after the sale service - is to stick your head under the console and check the TACH pulse setting. You have a prop that is in the ballpark for that engine. Big Foot motors are work boat and pontoon engines which 'require' big props.

If the tach is properly set (6P) then either the engine is not making full power or there is some excess drag on the boat. 40/50/60 HP Big Foot pontoon motors typically can run 14 x 9 to 14 x 13 four blade pontoon props. Pontoon props (Mercury makes one) have big rounded ears and provide the push a pontoon needs. They also work much better in reverse than a standard three blade prop.
