Mercury Marine begins production of Avator electric outboards.
Mercury Marine has begun serial production of its 20e and 35e Avator electric outboards. Release for sale is planned for later in 2023, the company says. The Brunswick Corp division launched its first electric outboard, the Avator 7.5e, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January and recently began shipments to dealers worldwide. Mercury has committed to the introduction of five Avator products in 2023.
“We are thrilled to take the next step in our electrification journey as we continue to deliver on our commitment to being the industry leader in both internal combustion products and electric propulsion,” says John Buelow, Mercury Marine president. “Consumer feedback from the Avator 7.5e has been very positive and we are confident the same will be true for the 20e and 35e once they enter the marketplace.”
Mercury says it will formally launch the Avator 20e and 35e electric outboards later this summer.
