The Raider Outboards series of submersible outboard motors are dedicated to the United States 

Marine Raiders. Established by the United States Marine Corps during WWII, the Raiders are considered 
to be the first United States Special Operations Force. Handpicked from the elite, these men were given 
specialized training and the best equipment. The Raiders operated behind enemy lines in direct support 
of combat operations in the Central Pacific and Solomon Islands, and distinguished themselves during 
the conduct of clandestine amphibious landings utilizing small, inflatable boats. Although the Raiders 
were disbanded at the close of WWII, the need for specially trained warfighters and the requirement for 

specialized  equipment  did  not.  Today’s  Special 

Operations  Forces  under  the  United  States  Special 

Operations Command (USSOCOM) are expected to conduct similar and far more demanding missions. 
With  those  warfighters  in  mind,  the  Raider  Outboards  line  of  Submersible  Outboard  Motors  and 
accessories are specifically developed for Special Operations Forces operating within the unforgiving, 
demanding, dynamic maritime environment.
