Boat and equipment sales rise at Finland’s Uiva Flytande show
Uiva Flytande drew over 10,000 visitors to Helsinki, with strong sales for Axopar, Buster and Saxdor signalling a market recovery.
Mercury Marine unveiled two new low-voltage electric outboards, the Avator 75e and 110e, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January. New for 2024, the 75e and 110e complete Mercury’s five-model line-up of low-voltage electric propulsion and bring the Avator’s innovative features and intuitive use to a higher power level. Also at CES, Mercury offered a first look at the next step in their electrification journey with a high-voltage electric concept propulsion system.
John Buelow, Mercury Marine President, enthused: ‘As we deliver on our commitment to introduce five low-voltage electric outboards, we are also excited to provide a concept of a high-voltage electric propulsion system.’
The Avator 75e and 110e will be used on a variety of applications, including aluminium and composite multihull aluminium fishing boats, skiffs, inflatables and smaller fibreglass runabouts. Like the 20e and 35e, the new models will also be used in commercial fleet applications and in ICE-restricted waterways.
