Title
OldMercs.com Mercury Outboard Motor Parts
Description
In 1940, Kiekhaefer Corporation introduced it's first line of Mercury outboards. Spurred on by his love of boating and fishing and things "mechanical", William Grubb of Spring City, Pennsylvania, purchased one of those first outboards that very year. The following year, he found himself buying another to sell to a friend. In 1946, William Grubb became a franchised Mercury Outboard Dealer. For many years he hauled new motors home from a Philadelphia distributor in the back of the family sedan. Calling the business "William K. Grubb Marine", he ran his fledgling dealership from the basement of his house.
The business has always been a small "Mom & Pop" operation. William sold boats on a small scale, selling such brands over the years as Trojan, Whirlwind, Duratech, Crosby, Priwing, Duo, Glastron, and Galaxy.
Since 1976, Grubb's Marine has been under second generation ownership of Robert W. Grubb. Bob literally grew up in the family business and has been continually in contact with the service end of the operation. Today he feels somewhat uniquely qualified to buy and sell parts and offer service assistance on Mercury products of any age. Bob spends much of his work day on the telephone helping customers with their parts orders. He is normally available weekday afternoons.
