Subsidiaries include Mercury Precision Parts and Accessories as well as Mercury propellers and Mercury Jet Drives. Mercury outboards 30 hp and below are manufactured by Tohatsu in Japan. [citation needed] Mercury developed a processor-enhanced line of outboards called the "Verado" outboard engine.
An outboard motor is a propulsion system for boats, consisting of a self-contained unit that includes engine, gearbox and propeller or jet drive, designed to be affixed to the outside of the transom. They are the most common motorised method of propelling small watercraft.

A pump-jet, hydrojet, water jet, or jet drive uses a ducted propeller (axial-flow pump), centrifugal pump, or mixed flow pump to create a jet of water for propulsion. These incorporate an intake for source water and a nozzle to direct its flow out, generating momentum, and in most cases, employing thrust vectoring to steer the craft.
Later that year Kiekhaefer used his boat engineering and NASCAR skills to develop the 100 hp stern drive engine now known as MerCruiser. When Kiekhaefer resigned as president of the company in 1969, the company name changed to Mercury Marine. In 1970 he founded Kiekhaefer Aeromarine Motors, building racing engines.
