NOW is the time to repower

With a growing number of boat owners looking to repower as an economical way to continue to safely enjoy their time on the water, Mercury MerCruiser has stepped in to help.

Mercury MerCruiser dealers are offering Australia’s boat owners guaranteed trade-ins from $1,500 up to a whopping $6,900* if they repower their vessels with a brand new MerCruiser sterndrive or inboard engine.

And while the savings are a great incentive by themselves, there are many other reasons to act now:

  • Improved safety for themselves, their family and friends
  • A comprehensive new engine factory warranty
  • Up-to-the-minute technology
  • Attractive per week finance options.

“There are thousands of older sterndrive-powered hulls on the water, with owners who have spent ages getting their boat just the way they like it. Now after many years of service the time has come to change the engines,” said David Meehan, Director - MerCruiser Australia, New Zealand, Pacific.

“Repowering is the obvious alternative to give these classic hulls a new lease of life especially when you factor in the savings you can make at the moment.”

If all that’s not enough there’s an added bonus.

If boat owners repower with a MerCruiser MPI engine they’ll receive a SmartCraft gauge set that suits their boat - either a two dial set with SC1000 speedo and tacho or a five dial set SC1000 tacho, trim, volt, temperature and oil link.

This offer is available from 1 May 2009 to 29 October 2009 and excludes installation.
