The surveys allow participating manufacturers to monitor customer satisfaction on an ongoing basis and to benchmark themselves against the industry and their competitors. The NMMA’s survey results confirm that Indmar takes pride in building marine engines for the [...]
Indmar, manufacturer of marine engines, was recently honored by the Legends Division for their steadfast support of the sport. The Legends Division is an elite group of professional water-skier’s that boast over 250 professional wins, 22 World Records and 12 World Championships featuring Andy Mapple, Bob LaPoint, Kris LaPoint and Lucky Lowe. The Legends Division was organized to help bring back recognition to the sport and to raise money for junior development. "Back in the hay day of ESPN with 16-22 events each year around the world, Indmar was a huge supporter of the Pro Waterski Tour…behind the scenes," explained [...]
The newest addition to Skier's Choice Boats engine-line up for 2008 is the Assault 6.0L (364 CID) by Indmar. It is a new high-tech performance inboard that delivers enough power to give bulky big blocks a run for their money; all with less weight and a much smaller footprint. This new 6.0L powerplant is based on GM's Gen IV Vortec 6000 truck engine which has a strong following in automotive circles. The "brainpower" behind the new Assault 6.0L comes from Delphi's most advanced ECM (Electronic Control Module) the MEFI-5 hardware/software computer system. The MEFI-5 system is custom calibrated for Skiers [...]
Indmar is the first marine engine manufacturer to build catalytic converter- equipped engines in a standard production process. Indmar continues to develop the technology required for optimum performance and superior quality . Your engine was designed with the latest components that keep Indmar and your boat's performance ahead of the competition. One of the most important introductions involves post catalyst temperature sensors that allow the engine controller to monitor the status of the catalytic converters. These sensors are especially designed for top performance within the marine environment and deal with factors such as extreme temperatures, chemical compatibility, vibration and water. [...]
New SpectraMATE®25 plating is providing an extra layer of protection against corrosion on Indmar's 2008 inboard engine line. The newly adopted Indmar plating process is used on all exposed engine parts such as nuts, bolts and other metal fasteners; greatly extending the life of these parts. Highly-rated in the rugged 500-hour salt spray test, SpectraMATE®25 resists corrosion on a par with most stainless steels. Unlike other coatings and platings, surface scratches do not result in significant loss of effectiveness. This extra protective layer provided by the new plating process means longer Indmar engine life in the harsh marine environment. Indmar [...]
ETX/CAT (Extreme Tuned Exhaust with Catalyst) by marine engine manufacturer Indmar Products Company, Inc. has won the 2006 IBEX Environmental Innovation Award at the recent International Boatbuilders Exhibition & Conference (IBEX) held November 1-3, 2006 in Miami Beach, Fl. ETX/CAT BY Indmar, patent pending, is the marine industry's first and only catalytic converter system for gasoline inboard/sterndrive marine engines. Its innovative "green" technology reduces exhaust emissions to less than half of the hydrocarbons (HC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) over engines of previous years. ETX/CAT's most dramatic achievement for boater safety is its ability to reduce poisonous carbon monoxide (CO) [...]
Officials of Indmar Products Company and Steyr Motors have signed a multi-year agreement that will add one of Steyr's most popular diesels to Indmar's engine line. Chuck Rowe, president of Indmar and Steyr Motors CEO Rudolf Mandorfer made the announcement jointly.

The first-of-its-kind EPA award recognizes Indmar for ETX/CAT's "innovative clean emission technology". It further praises Indmar for "leadership in advancing clean catalyst technology for inboard marine engines to achieve substantial air quality benefits." The EPA award was presented by Margo Oge, Director of the EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality. Accepting the award for Indmar was Dick Rowe founder/chairman and representatives from the company's engineering team. Indmar [...]
The Right Thing To Do: Greener. Cleaner. Safer. No Power Loss! Indmar Products Company, Inc. has announced the Industry's first production-ready catalytic converter system ETX/CAT (Extreme Tuned Exhaust with Catalyst), patent pending. Starting this summer the ETX/CAT will be standard equipment on all 2007 Indmar 5.7 Liter premium electronic fuel injected (EFI) inboard engines, according to Indmar founder Dick Rowe. A first for production gasoline marine inboard engines, the innovative Indmar technology significantly reduces exhaust emissions to less than 5 grams of combined hydrocarbons (HC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) as required by California Air Resources Board (CARB) upcoming regulations. [...]
Indmar has announced its two latest saltwater specific inboards, the 5.7L HO SS and the 6.0L HO SS. Both engines have fully enclosed freshwater cooling systems, multiport fuel injection and are built for saltwater applications ranging from workboats to performance runabouts, as well as smaller cruisers and sport fishermen. Savvy saltwater skippers will appreciate Indmar's extensive list of modifications and attention to detail that ensure maximum protection against the very harsh saltwater environment. For the latest in corrosion protection, marinized components are E-Coated. Unlike industry standard engine paints, E-Coating is an advanced dipping process that completely covers both exterior and [...]
