Cummins
MerCruiser Diesels
A joint venture between two industry
leaders, represents a combination of world-class research
and engineering expertise, an exceptional range of
products and an ever-growing global service network.
Through this alliance, CMD has emerged as the industry’s
premier choice for vessel integration
performance.
Cummins Inc. is recognized worldwide as a leader
in advanced diesel power systems. Its success in the
marine market
includes over 80 years of experience producing
reliable propulsion and auxiliary engines for
recreational and commercial applications.
Since the company was founded in 1939, Mercury
Marine has continually set the standard as the world’s
most innovative technological leader in marine propulsion
and has consistently emphasized performance and
innovation. That pledge remains strong today, as Mercury
is repeatedly recognized for its ability to foresee and
fulfill the needs of its consumers.

Building on the synergy of the Cummins and
Mercury Marine joint venture and drawing from a worldwide
network of technology partnerships, there is
simply
no other company that possesses the resources
and unyielding commitment to innovation as Cummins
MerCruiser Diesel.
The most recent example of CMD’s innovative
leadership is the highly acclaimed Zeus Pod Drive
featuring SmartCraft™ Joystick Docking.
The result of more than a decade of research and
collaboration, CMD has produced probably the world’s most
advanced marine propulsion system.
QSD2.0 marine diesels... Cummins MerCruiser
Diesel is proud to introduce the QSD line. Incorporating
the cutting-edge technologies of our current Quantum
engines such as a high pressure common rail fuel system
and SmartCraft™ capability, this new series promises to
set the pace for sterndrive applications in the marine
industry.
Compact and Powerful
Combining the quiet, smooth performance of a
traditional petrol engine with the added fuel economy,
torque and durability of a diesel, this four cylinder
compact powerhouse features an advanced ECM with
SmartCraft™ compatibility
to monitor various engine parameters. The QSD2.0
also features advanced components like the integrated
heat exchanger and exhaust manifold, which also help
reduce overall package size. Impressive acceleration and
precise throttle response are the result of a proven
common rail fuel system that includes a turbocharger and
seawater aftercooler.
As leaders in marine propulsion innovation,
Cummins MerCruiser Diesel and Mercury Marine are proud to
introduce Zeus, the world’s most advanced marine
propulsion system. The result of 15 years of testing and
research, Zeus delivers an unparalleled level of safety,
performance and vessel control.
Docking Without Fear ... Never worry again about
wind and current when you approach the dock. Our advanced
joystick control system is incredibly intuitive and can
be operated with a simple turn of the wrist. One hand
controls it all, from sideways tracking, to spinning on a
dime, to precise speed control. Whether at the dock or
backing down on a blue marlin, the total authority and
manoeuverability is simply unmatched.
Clean, Quiet & More Comfortable ...Because
our pod drives utilize counter-rotating propellers and
are mounted on large rubber grommets, gear noise and
vibration are significantly reduced for a quiet and
comfortable ride. With a foundation of quiet and clean
running Quantum engines, already low engine exhaust is
nearly eliminated by venting exhaust gases through the
propeller hubs where the water flow takes it to the rear
of the boat.
Extended Range
The QSB5.9 offers excellent fuel economy and
cruise power. Boats accelerate quickly from the
combination of a perfectly matched turbocharger and a new
24 valve cylinder head, which allows the engine to
breathe more efficiently.
Quiet Strength
An 80% reduction in noise at idle is one of the
many benefits from the common rail fuel injection system
and design modifi cations to the cylinder
block.
The cast iron block is scalloped, which further
reduces noise by increasing the stiffness of the
engine.
Combined, these innovations make for a strong
and highly reliable power system.
