The <strong>Sterndrive</strong> AdvantageMercury Marine changed the game of boating powerwhen it released its first MerCruiser sterndrive a halfcentury ago. Over the years, a commitment to innovationhas placed the MerCruiser name among the greatpioneers in the industry, always pushing forward byintegrating Mercury technological breakthroughs suchas SeaCore corrosion protection <strong>and</strong> Axius joystickcontrol with its sterndrive systems.Recently, jet drives have emerged as a trendy alternative,as some companies have applied engine technologiesnative to personal watercraft to larger runabouts.When it come to trends, some become legitimatemovements, but most go the way of ant farms <strong>and</strong>pet rocks. When matched up against legendaryMerCruiser sterndrives, it would certainly seem jetsfall closer to that latter grouping. From MerCruiser’s3.0L plants on up to its big blocks, nothing can compareto the lineup’s proven sterndrive technology,reliability <strong>and</strong> durability, breadth <strong>and</strong> depth of choices,<strong>and</strong> expert global dealer network that backs it all up.The choice is easy.24


STERNDRIVE VS. JETMerCruiser sterndrives hold a number of performance,comfort <strong>and</strong> safety advantages over jet engines• The hull shape of jet boatsmakesthem difficult to h<strong>and</strong>lein bad weather; sterndrives cut through chop <strong>and</strong> keepyou on course• <strong>Sterndrive</strong>s are superior for tow sports, offering a betterwake shape, more confident steering <strong>and</strong> more stable speeds• Recent comparisons showed that a jet-powered runaboutran twice asloud asa comparable sterndrive-poweredboat at 30 mph• In shallow water, a jet can suck up weeds, s<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> foreignobjects, requiring additional service; sterndrives performbetter in shallow water <strong>and</strong> are easier to clean• MerCruiser sterndrives are made specifically for boatingpurposes; jet engines originated for use with personalwatercraft <strong>and</strong> don’t have the same boating pedigree• MerCruiser sterndrives boast SeaCore corrosion protectionfor incomparable durability over the long haulTo see video of how MerCruiser sterndrives aresuperior to jet drives, scan this QR code with yoursmartphone. If your phone doesn’t have the app, go towww.i-nigma.mobi. You can also see these videos atwww.mercurymarine.com/engines/mercruiser/video/.MBuilt to LastMerCruiser sterndrives have been built from the start exclusivelyfor boating applications. The same can’t be said for jet engines, which werefirst engineered for use with personal watercraft. Jet engines haven’t historicallybeen held to the same high st<strong>and</strong>ards for corrosion protection assterndrives, since, unlike boats, personal watercraft aren’t built to sit in waterfor extended periods of times. Any marine growth or befouling can significantlyimpact the performance of a jet, while MerCruiser sterndrives arespecifically built to h<strong>and</strong>le the rigors of the marine environment. It’s simple,really: Jetscan’t hold a c<strong>and</strong>le to sterndriveswhen it comesto longevity <strong>and</strong>proven reliability in boating applications.Greener PasturesIn head-to-head comparisons, sterndrive-powered runabouts performedmore efficiently at cruising <strong>and</strong> low speeds than equivalentjet-equipped boats. Better fuel efficiency equals less money spent at thepump for the boater who chooses a sterndrive. But MerCruiser sterndrivestake the advantage to the next level with the SmartCraft ECO-Screen. Forsuperior fuel efficiency, pair your MerCruiser sterndrive with the ECO-Screen, an innovative dashboard feature that runs engine diagnostics <strong>and</strong>—on an easy-to-read, multicolor screen—tells you exactly what you need todo to obtain optimal fuel economy.Thrust of the MatterJet boats steer with directional thrust. Once the jet stream is reduced,the ability to steer is reduced. And once the jet stream is turned off,the ability to steer is gone. Imagine that happening while you’re trying to dockor when cruising! <strong>Sterndrive</strong> boats deliver consistent steering due to the thrustof the propeller <strong>and</strong> the direction of the drive. Don’t ruin a perfectly fine dayof boating by losing your cool (<strong>and</strong> control) at the dock.25
