Challenger's Club

Owners of new Challenger Series inboards automatically become members of the Challengers Club when they register their engines, an exclusive program that provides a level of customer service not found elsewhere in the industry.

Club members have exclusive toll-free access to the “Club Concierge,” a special customer service representative who can make sure parts and service needs are met through the nearest qualified Crusader dealer.

‏Clean Emission System (CES)

Crusader’s exclusive, patented CATANIUM® Clean Emission System (CES) is advanced catalyst technology. CATANIUM® CES, greatly reduces harmful emissions and dangerous carbon monoxide, creating a cleaner, safer marine environment. Utilizing the latest engine management technology, CATANIUM® CES equipped engines are clean and more powerful than ever.

Premium Mounting System

Crusader’s No-Vibe mounting system offers the highest degree of adjust-ability in the industry. Larger, more robust and extremely heavy-duty, Crusader’s mounts ensure continuing perfect shaft alignment for years.

Sooner or later, however, the engine will have to be realigned as part of routine maintenance. The adjustable components of Crusader’s mounts are easy to realign because they are made of non-corrosive state-of-the-art composite materials, rather than plated steel which is subject to rust and galvanic corrosion.

The mounting system must be able to dampen and absorb vibration to keep it from being transferred to the hull through the stringer system. Crusader uses large rubber isolators to better isolate the vibration.

Crusader’s superior mounting system extends to the overall design, which positions the mounts close-in to the transmission at the mid-point, evenly distributing the weight for a stronger, more rigid hold. This position prevents movement, which would destroy the perfect alignment and vibration-free ride.
