Docking. With total control. Total confidence.
V8 hero Russell Ingall enjoying Mercury Diesel power and Joystick control.
With the motor racing season slowing down for the holiday period, Aussie racing legend Russell Ingall is looking forward to spending some quality time in his newly renovated Riviera M400.
Powered by a pair of Mercury Diesel TDI 370hp engines with Bravo 3 drives, and controlled via Mercury’s Joystick Piloting system, the boat has been a special project for Russell who’s particularly proud of the outcome.

You're fully covered. Right down to the controls and gauges.
The outstanding warranty coverage on Mercury engines also extends to the controls and rigging components on your boat. If your builder or dealer uses genuine Mercury gauges and controls when installing the new engine on your boat, the warranty coverage for those rigging components now matches the total warranty of your engine. This means you could have up to an additional two years of control and rigging component coverage – based on the engine purchased.
