“Our innovative and industry leading 75-115hp platform has received very positive reviews in the marketplace and we are very pleased that the judges honoured us with this award,” said Randy Caruana, Mercury Marine vice president – North & Central America and Asia Pacific.  “We will continue to manufacture sustainable products and winning this award for a second consecutive year tells us that the marketplace is supporting our vision of sustainable and innovative marine propulsion technology.” 

The Asian Marine & Boating Awards are backed and supported by the China (Shanghai) International Boat Show (CIBS) which is in its twentieth year are just one of the initiatives by CIBS to assist the overall recreational and leisure boating scene in China and Asia in its growth and quality.

“Our 75-115hp platform as well as our SeaPro offering has been met with very positive feedback by our customers,” Caruana said. “We will continue to take a leadership role in establishing low-emissions outboard, inboard and sterndrive marine propulsion systems.”
