<a id="A1" name="fractional"></a><span style="font-size: 12pt">Axius is changing the
way boaters around the world look at docking. Never again will a busy marina or
windy day prevent you from docking with precision and ease. Captain Robert Smith has captained many boats with this new technology and says, "As a professional test
captain, I have been very impressed with Mercury's technology and development of
Axius. I found it certainly makes the work of driving a boat in tight, confined
situations a breeze. It is an ideal solution for the inexperienced boater
or even for a veteran like me."</span><br />
