The word "Marine" was not used for Kiekhaefer's outboard motor company name or product brochures until long after Brunswick absorbed it, many years after Kiekhaefer's involvement in NASCAR racing ended. The name on the front cowl of every engine, and on dealer signs, product brochures, and replacement parts packaging until then was Kiekhaefer Mercury. I was a teenage Mercury owner/user beginning in 1962, collecting and committing to memory every brochure I could get my hands on during the 60s, and began my career as a mechanic at the local Mercury franchised dealer in 1969. I visited the Fond du Lac plant in 1970. I raced in OPC G class with a 1970 80HP model, and had that boat with it on the cover of Propeller Magazine fully airborne in Miami Marine Stadium on a day with very strong wind from the west making the course too rough for decent racing. I don't remember when Kiekhaefer was removed from engine's front covers, but it was many years after the Brunswick acquisition, possibly as late as the 1980s.
