Period
This motor used 1989-2006.
Canada
Bateau 2007.0065 doté du moteur semi hors-bord MerCruiser avec pied Alpha One, le plus populaire au Canada pour la navigation de plaisance pour la période de la fin des années 1980-1995 environ.
Function
Power source for marine vessel.
Technical
Le premier moteur semi- hors bord fut introduit par Volvo en 1959 et les autres firmes telles Mercury et OMC ne tardèrent pas à en produire dès 1961. Le moteur semi hors-bord alliait les avantages du hors-bord et du en-bord soit la possibilité de lever le pied et la puissance. Comme le moteur est dans un compartiment fermé, il est moins bruyant. Chez Mercury, le pied de propulsion Alpha One a été mis sur le marché en 1986. Celui offert est donc de la première génération. (Deuxième génération de 1991 à 2003). Ce moteur était le premier semi hors bord produit à grande échelle. Il était doté d'un régulateur d'assiette XD (trim) qui diminue la pression aux joints d'étanchéité ce qui augmente sa durabilité. Il était de plus conçu avec des anodes de zinc contre la corrosion, un meilleur système de refroidissement, d'échappement et d'allumage électronique. Notre étude sur les moteurs de petites embarcations de plaisance au Canada avait démontrée la popularité du moteur semi hors-bord MerCruiser accompagné du pied AlphaOne auprès des consommateurs canadiens pour la période couvrant la fin des années 1980 jusque vers 1996.
