Article Abstract:
Mercury Marine will provide its new M2 jet-drive engine to five lines of the Sea-Doo Sports Boats from Bombardier Corp. The products, which were unveiled during the 1999 International Marine Trades and Exhibit Conference, were the results of a joint product development initiative that ensured the proper fit and mounting of the M2 engines with the Sea- Doo hulls. The Mercury engines' mating to the Bombardier hulls brings together the biggest marine engine maker with the maker of the best- selling boats.
