A must for every outboard enthusiast. The Legend of Mercury - by Jeffrey L. Rodengen. Sixty years old in 1999, Mercury Marine is the most recognized name in the marine industry, and the memory of its founder, Carl Kiekhaefer, lives on in the hearts and minds of engineers and boat enthusiasts alike.
