Brunswick Corporation : Brunswick Launches Online Dealer Certification for All Brunswick Boat Dealers




LAKE FOREST, Ill., April 30, 2015 - Brunswick Corporation's (NYSE: BC) dealer
services team, Brunswick Dealer Advantage, is pleased to announce continued
improvements to its dealer certification program in an effort to provide greater
value and challenge to the Brunswick marine dealer network. In partnership with
the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas (MRAA), Brunswick dealers can
now complete their certification online using a completely new, interactive
virtual platform.  Brunswick boat dealers also will be introduced to new,
relevant certification requirements and an expanded two-year certification
cycle.

With the new online platform, Brunswick dealers will have the flexibility to
complete their certification process at a pace that is convenient for them.
Dealers will be able to enter and upload all needed information for each
standard, while receiving step-by-step video instruction along the way. The
system also allows dealers to save their progress as they work through the
standards one-by-one, while retaining the information for the dealers' use in
the future for their recertification.

Once dealers have completed their certification standards, they will attend a
one-on-one webinar with a dedicated facilitator to review their uploaded
content, discuss areas of strength or weakness, and develop specific business
improvement strategies tailored to their dealership.

"We are always looking for ways to provide more value, streamline and improve
dealer processes and help save our dealers' time and money," said Brunswick
Dealer Certification Program Manager, Kirsten Schuchardt. "This innovative
online portal, improved content and simplified two-year certification cycle
allow us to address all of these areas while providing a superior certification
program that our dealers expect and deserve."

The improved Brunswick Dealer Certification guidelines focus on creating
continuous improvement throughout the dealership by maximizing customer
satisfaction, tightening sales management, improving online and social media
marketing, boosting finance and insurance sales, and increasing service
department productivity. The expanded certification cycle saves dealers both
time and money by allowing them to complete their recertification online every
two years, instead of annually.  The online portal eliminates the need for
onsite visits, saving dealers even more.  And dealers who attain any level of
Brunswick Dealer Certification also achieve Marine Industry Certified Dealership
(MICD) status, providing them with two leading industry certifications through
one process and one low price.

"There has never been a better time to become a Certified Dealer," says MICD
Program Director Sonja Moseley. The MICD Program launched its online portal in
March. "Dealers have already commented on how much more smoothly the process
runs, and how much less cumbersome it is to get through each of the standards
and see certification through to completion. The online platform is a true game-
changer for the MICD Program, and now for the Brunswick Dealer Certification
program as well."

With three levels of certification, the Brunswick Certification program benefits
all dealers. Brunswick dealers can enroll in the Brunswick Dealer Certification
program at www.mraatraining.com/certification. Brunswick dealers can learn more
