For the third year in a row, Pleasurecraft Engine Group ranks highest in customer satisfaction for EFI inboard engines according to the 2008 J.D. Power and Associates Marine Engine Competitive Information StudySM (MECIS). This is the fourth time in the past five years PCM has received the award.

The study shows that PCM has the highest quality and customer satisfaction among inboard engines. Furthermore, the study shows that inboards provide customers with the greatest satisfaction and have the highest quality compared to the other engine categories (two-and four-stroke outboards and sterndrives).

PCM receives the highest score on the Engine Performance Index (EPI), which is a statisticalindex based on answers new engine owners report on a variety of performance and reliability questions. PCM ranks highest in six of the seven engine factors studied. PCM’s largest lead over the competition is in the reliability factor, which has the greatest contribution to overall satisfaction.

"Not only has PCM led the marine engine segment for three years in a row, our quality and satisfaction scores are better than last year," says Pleasurecraft President Chuck Thurman. "We’d like to thank our employees, our suppliers and our strong network of Premier Dealers for helping us to achieve this important accomplishment, year after year."
