Mercruiser have a slightly larger market share in the US, while in Europe Volvo Penta has an ...
Diesel engines soon offered greater efficiency than the steam turbine, but for many years had an inferior power-to-space ratio. The advent of turbocharging however hastened their adoption, by permitting greater power densities. Diesel engines today are broadly classified according to Their operating cycle: two-stroke engine or four-stroke engine
In marine propulsion, a variable-pitch propeller is a type of propeller with blades that can be rotated around their long axis to change the blade pitch. Reversible propellers—those where the pitch can be set to negative values—can also create reverse thrust for braking or going backwards without the need to change the direction of shaft revolution.
Verado engines are available in 250 hp and 300 hp (V8), 350 hp and 400 hp (V10, introduced in 2022), and 600 hp (V12) as of early 2021. In 2007 Mercury Marine began selling its Zeus drive system.

An azimuth thruster is a configuration of marine propellers placed in pods that can be rotated to any horizontal angle , making a rudder redundant. These give ships better maneuverability than a fixed propeller and rudder system.
