Konrad Marine

Konrad Marine, Inc. was founded in 1991 by the husband and wife team Ken and Kathy Konrad and is a privately held company based in Hudson, Wisconsin, USA. The founders self-funded all research and development, engineering, manufacturing, testing and product rollouts.

The company entered the marine propulsion industry as an aftermarket supplier of stern drive components compatible with Mercury Alpha drives. Within several years it was manufacturing the entire drive, which was sold under the name Omega to the pleasure boating market.

Konrad went on to build stern drives for high-speed commercial and military applications and launched a second generation, the 600 Series, including the Konrad 680-B. A partnership with Cummins gives the drives access to the worldwide Cummins distribution network.
