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.
