Hardcore Seacore
MerCruiser's SeaCore technology has landed in Australia and New Zealand, offering a four-year corrosion warrantyMerCruiser has taken its standard Bravo Series and anodised the drive, transom and trim cylinders. Anodising is a heavy-duty industrial surface treatment that deeply penetrates the aluminium surface, changing the chemical structure and creating a diamond-like hardening of the surface of key drive areas, which in turn offers excellent corrosion resistance.
The SeaCore system has added an additional 35 stainless steel components on the engine and a standard closed cooled system.
SeaCore is an option MerCruiser buyers can take when purchasing a sterndrive package, and will be initially available on all V8s from March 2007. It will also become available with V6 packages.
“Extensive research and development from our engineers in the US have shown dramatic reductions in corrosion with this new technology,” MerCruiser director David Meehan said. “What’s also important for our customers is that this product doesn’t change the performance of the boat.”
