MerCruiser V8 engines are produced by Mercury Marine, a division of Brunswick Corporation, based in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Mercury Marine specializes in manufacturing marine engines and modifies V8 engines for marine use. They source the base engine blocks from major automotive manufacturers, which are commonly used in trucks, and then adapt them to meet the specific requirements of marine environments.
The modifications include altering engine accessories like the alternator, water pump, carburetor, and distributor to enhance their performance and durability in water. Mercury Marine's rigorous testing, both in laboratories and on water, ensures that each MerCruiser engine is robust and reliable, featuring better alloys and superior paints to withstand harsh marine conditions.
