LAKE FOREST, Ill. (April 27, 2015) - Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) today
announced that it has acquired BLA, Australia's largest provider of "boating,
lifestyle and adventure" products, to strengthen Brunswick's marine parts and
accessories (P&A) presence in the region.  Terms were not disclosed. BLA had
revenues of approximately AUD$50 million in 2014.

"We continue to seek opportunities to strategically grow our marine and fitness
operations throughout the world," said Brunswick Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer Dustan E. McCoy.  "BLA bolsters the distribution arm of our marine P&A
business by expanding our reach and customer responsiveness in the important
Australian marine marketplace and this region of the world."

Founded in 1974, BLA has an extensive dealer network throughout Australia and
New Zealand and also serves original equipment manufacturers.  BLA offers more
than 15,000 different SKUs, including products from such well-known brands as
Attwood, BEP, Cannon, Humminbird, Lewmar, Mastervolt, Minnkota, SeaStar
Solutions, Sierra and Whale.

BLA will continue to conduct business under its current name and will remain
based in Brisbane, Australia.  It also has operations in Melbourne and Perth,
Australia, along with Auckland, New Zealand.  BLA will continue to serve its
current client base, while working with its current vendor partners as well as
collaborating with other Mercury P&A distribution operations, such as Land 'N'
Sea, to share and integrate best practices and refine performance and
operational metrics.

"We are pleased to have completed this transaction with BLA and look forward to
continuing and extending a connection with its current client base and the
marine industry in the region," McCoy said.  "This is another strategic step in
our efforts to continue to grow Brunswick. We will grow our organization both
organically through an aggressive pace of new product introduction, as well as
by select acquisitions such as the BLA transaction, which now joins both Whale,
a leader in water and heating systems, and Bell Recreational Products Group, a
Midwest-based P&A distributor, as recent additions to Mercury's P&A business."
