Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies
	Interim Financial Statements.  The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Brunswick Corporation (Brunswick or the Company) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements and related notes prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted.  Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including the presentation of consolidated Net earnings adjusted for the net loss from discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Prior year conforming changes include changing the starting point of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows from "Net earnings from continuing operations" to "Net earnings" followed by "Less: net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax".
	These financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and have been prepared in conformity with, the accounting principles reflected in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Brunswick’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the 2012 Form 10-K).  These results include, in the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Brunswick as of September 28, 2013, December 31, 2012, and September 29, 2012, the results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012.  Due to the seasonality of Brunswick’s businesses, the interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year.
	The Company maintains its financial records on the basis of a fiscal year ending on December 31, with the fiscal quarters spanning thirteen weeks and ending on the Saturday closest to the end of that thirteen-week period.  The first three quarters of fiscal year 2013 ended on March 30, 2013, June 29, 2013 and September 28, 2013, and the first three quarters of fiscal year 2012 ended on March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 29, 2012.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  The Company evaluates the pronouncements of various authoritative accounting organizations, primarily the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the SEC, and the Emerging Issues Task Force, to determine the impact of new pronouncements on GAAP and the impact on the Company.  The following are recent accounting pronouncements that have been adopted during the nine months ended September 28, 2013, or will be adopted in future periods.
	Unrecognized Tax Benefit: In July 2013, the FASB amended the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) to provide guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance states that entities should present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for an NOL or tax credit carryforward whenever the NOL or tax credit carryforward would be available to reduce the additional taxable income or tax due if the tax position is disallowed. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the ASC amendment will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	Comprehensive Income:  In February 2013, the FASB amended the ASC to require entities to provide information about amounts reclassified out of other comprehensive income by component. The Company is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, the amounts reclassified from other comprehensive income to the respective line items in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. This amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Refer to Note 12 – Comprehensive Income for the Company's disclosures as a result of adopting this amendment.
	Offsetting Assets and Liabilities: In January 2013, the FASB amended the ASC to provide additional guidance on the scope of disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The additional guidance provided that only recognized derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions would be subject to disclosure requirements. This amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and retrospective application is required. The adoption of this amendment did not have an impact on the Company's disclosure or the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
	Intangibles – Goodwill and Other:  In July 2012, the FASB amended the ASC to simplify how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment.  The amendment to the ASC permits entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If based on this assessment, the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then performing the quantitative impairment test is unnecessary.  The amendment is effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  The Company adopted this amendment in 2013 and it did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Discontinued Operations	'
	Note 2 – Discontinued Operations
	On December 31, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to exit its Hatteras and Cabo boat businesses. As a result, these businesses, which were previously reported in the Company's Boat segment, are being reported as discontinued operations and are reported in separate lines in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of these businesses to be sold meet the accounting criteria to be classified as held for sale and have been aggregated and reported on separate lines of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented.
	In August 2013, the Company completed the sale of its Hatteras and Cabo boat businesses resulting in an after-tax gain of $1.6 million.
	The following table discloses the results of operations of the Hatteras and Cabo businesses, including the gain on the disposal, reported as discontinued operations for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, respectively:

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]	'
Restructuring Activities	'
	Note 3 – Restructuring Activities
	Since November 2006, Brunswick has announced and implemented a number of restructuring initiatives designed to improve the Company’s cost structure, better utilize overall capacity and improve general operating efficiencies.  These initiatives reflected the Company’s response to a difficult marine market and resulted in the recognition of restructuring, exit and impairment charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income during 2013 and 2012.
	The costs incurred under these initiatives include:
	Restructuring Activities – These amounts mainly relate to:
	•	Employee termination and other benefits
	•	Costs to retain and relocate employees
	•	Consulting costs
	•	Consolidation of manufacturing footprint
	Exit Activities – These amounts mainly relate to:
	•	Employee termination and other benefits
	•	Lease exit costs
	•	Inventory write-downs
	•	Facility shutdown costs
	Asset Disposition Actions – These amounts mainly relate to sales of assets and impairments of:
	•	Fixed assets
	•	Tooling
	•	Patents and proprietary technology
	•	Dealer networks
	•	Trade names
	Impairments of definite-lived assets are recognized when, as a result of the restructuring activities initiated, the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not expected to be fully recoverable.  The impairments recognized were equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the estimated fair value of the asset, which was determined using observable inputs, including the use of appraisals from independent third parties when available, and, when observable inputs were not available, based on the Company’s assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset, based on the best information available in the circumstances.  Specifically, the Company used discounted cash flows to determine the fair value of the asset when observable inputs were unavailable.
	Intangible assets not subject to amortization are assessed for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as announcements of restructuring activities, indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The fair value of trade names is measured using a relief-from-royalty approach, which assumes the value of the trade name is the discounted cash flows of the amount that would be paid to third parties had the Company not owned the trade name and instead licensed the trade name from another company.
	The Company has reported restructuring and exit activities based on the specific driver of the cost and reflected the expense in the accounting period when the cost has been committed or incurred, as appropriate.  The Company considers actions related to the divestiture activities for its European retail bowling centers and the closure of a marine electronics business to be exit activities.  All other actions taken are considered to be restructuring activities.
	The following table is a summary of the expense associated with the restructuring, exit and impairment activities for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012.  The 2013 charges consist of expenses related to actions initiated in 2013 and 2012. The 2012 charges consist of expenses related to actions initiated in 2012, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

	Total restructuring, exit and impairment charges	$	3.1		$	14.3		$	12.7		$	15.3
	The Company anticipates it may incur between $2 million and $4 million of additional restructuring charges in 2013 primarily related to known restructuring activities initiated during 2013 and 2012 in the Boat and Bowling & Billiards segments.  Reductions in demand for the Company’s products, further refinement of its product portfolio or further opportunities to consolidate manufacturing facilities and reduce costs, may result in additional restructuring, exit or impairment charges in future periods.
	Actions Initiated in 2013
	In the second quarter of 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to divest its European retail bowling centers in the Bowling & Billiards segment. The Company substantially completed this divestiture by the end of the third quarter of 2013. The Company announced in the first quarter of 2013 the consolidation of its yacht and motoryacht production at its Palm Coast, Florida manufacturing plant. As a result, the Company suspended manufacturing at its Sykes Creek boat manufacturing facility in nearby Merritt Island, Florida at the end of June 2013. The Company recorded restructuring, exit and impairment charges in 2013 related to these actions.
	The restructuring, exit and impairment charges recorded in the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2013, related to actions initiated in 2013, by reportable segment, are summarized below:

Actions Initiated in 2012
The Company recorded restructuring and impairment charges in 2012 relating to actions initiated in connection with the continued weakness in the fiberglass sterndrive boat market segments as well as the refinement of its North American boat product portfolio. As a result, the Company decided to exit Bayliner cruisers in the U.S. and European markets and to further reduce the Company's manufacturing footprint by closing its Knoxville, Tennessee production facility and consolidate its fiberglass cruiser manufacturing into other boat production facilities. Long-lived asset impairment charges were also recorded in the third quarter of 2012 for certain European and Asia-Pacific boat brands as a result of weak powerboat demand in these regions.

Actions Initiated in 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008
During 2011 and 2010, the Company continued its restructuring activities by consolidating manufacturing operations, reducing the Company’s global workforce and disposing of non-strategic assets including the exit of a marine electronics business in the fourth quarter of 2010.
During the third quarter of 2009, the Company announced plans to reduce excess manufacturing capacity by relocating inboard and sterndrive production to Fond du Lac, Wisconsin and closing its Stillwater, Oklahoma plant.  This plant transition was completed in the second quarter of 2012. The Company also continued to consolidate the Boat segment’s manufacturing footprint in 2009 and began marketing for sale certain previously closed boat production facilities in the fourth quarter of 2009.  During 2008, the Company announced the closure of its boat production facilities in Cumberland, Maryland.  These actions in the Company’s marine businesses were designed to provide long-term cost savings by reducing its fixed-cost structure.
There were no restructuring charges recorded during the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2013, related to actions initiated between 2008 and 2011.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Financial Instruments	'
	Note 4 – Financial Instruments
	The Company operates globally, with manufacturing and sales facilities in various locations around the world.  Due to the Company’s global operations, the Company engages in activities involving both financial and market risks.  The Company utilizes normal operating and financing activities, along with derivative financial instruments, to minimize these risks.
	Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its risks associated with movements in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices.  Derivative instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes.  For certain derivative contracts, on the date a derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as a hedge of a forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge).  The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction.  This process includes linking derivatives that are designated as hedges to specific forecasted transactions.  The Company also assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and monthly thereafter, whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the anticipated cash flows of the hedged item.  If the hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective, or it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, gains and losses on the derivative are recorded in Cost of sales or Interest expense as appropriate.  There were no material adjustments as a result of ineffectiveness to the results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012. The fair market value of derivative financial instruments is determined through market-based valuations and may not be representative of the actual gains or losses that will be recorded when these instruments mature due to future fluctuations in the markets in which they are traded.  The effects of derivative and financial instruments are not expected to be material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations when considered together with the underlying exposure being hedged. Use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to credit risk with its counterparties when the fair value of a derivative contract is an asset. The Company mitigates this risk by entering into derivative contracts with highly rated counterparties. The maximum amount of loss due to counterparty credit risk is limited to the asset value of derivative financial instruments at September 28, 2013.
	Cash Flow Hedges. The Company enters into certain derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges.  The Company executes both forward and option contracts, based on forecasted transactions, to manage foreign exchange exposure mainly related to inventory purchase and sales transactions.  The Company also enters into commodity swap agreements, based on anticipated purchases of aluminum, copper and natural gas, to manage risk related to price changes.  In addition, the Company enters into forward starting interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the anticipated issuance of debt.
	A cash flow hedge requires that as changes in the fair value of derivatives occur, the portion of the change deemed to be effective is recorded temporarily in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, an equity account, and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  As of September 28, 2013, the term of derivative instruments hedging forecasted transactions ranged from one to 21 months.
	Other Hedging Activity. The Company has entered into certain foreign currency forward contracts that have not been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. These contracts are used to manage foreign currency exposure related to changes in the value of assets or liabilities caused by changes in foreign exchange rates.  The change in the fair value of the foreign currency derivative contract and the corresponding change in the fair value of the asset or liability of the Company are both recorded through earnings, each period as incurred.
	Foreign Currency. The Company enters into forward and option contracts to manage foreign exchange exposure related to forecasted transactions, and assets and liabilities that are subject to risk from foreign currency rate changes.  These exposures include: product costs; revenues and expenses; associated receivables and payables; intercompany obligations and receivables; and other related cash flows.
	Forward exchange contracts outstanding at September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012 had notional contract values of $159.6 million and $116.0 million, respectively.  Option contracts outstanding at September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012 had notional contract values of $72.0 million and $69.7 million, respectively.  The forward and options contracts outstanding at September 28, 2013, mature during 2013 and 2014 and mainly relate to the Euro, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, Australian dollar, British pound, Brazilian real, Swedish krona, New Zealand dollar, Norwegian krone and Hungarian forint. As of September 28, 2013, the Company estimates that during the next 12 months, it will reclassify approximately $1.2 million of net losses (based on current rates) from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Cost of sales.
	Interest Rate. The Company enters into forward starting interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with anticipated debt issuances. There were no forward starting interest rate swaps outstanding at September 28, 2013. Forward starting interest rate swaps outstanding at December 31, 2012 had notional contract values of $100.0 million. In connection with the issuance of $150.0 million of 4.625 percent Senior notes due 2021 in May 2013, the Company terminated the $100.0 million notional value forward starting interest swaps, which resulted in a net deferred loss of $5.8 million, which was recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the second quarter.
	As of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $5.3 million and $3.7 million of net deferred losses, respectively, associated with all forward starting interest rate swaps, which were included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss.  These amounts include gains deferred on forward starting interest rate swaps terminated in July 2006, net of losses deferred on forward starting swaps terminated in August 2008 and the forward starting swaps terminated in May 2013 discussed above.  In the second quarter of 2013, the Company recognized $1.1 million of income associated with the gains originally deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive loss resulting from the difference between the amount of new debt issued and the original notional value of swaps terminated in July 2006. As of September 28, 2013, the Company estimates that during the next 12 months, it will reclassify approximately $0.1 million of net losses (based on current rates) resulting from settled forward starting interest rate swaps from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Interest expense.
	Commodity Price. The Company uses commodity swaps to hedge anticipated purchases of aluminum, copper and natural gas.  Commodity swap contracts outstanding at September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012 had notional contract values of $20.7 million and $26.0 million, respectively.  The contracts outstanding mature through 2015.  The amount of gain or loss associated with these instruments are deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and are recognized in Cost of sales in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  As of September 28, 2013, the Company estimates that during the next 12 months it will reclassify approximately $1.9 million in net losses (based on current prices) from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Cost of sales.

Concentration of Credit Risk. The Company enters into financial instruments and invests a portion of its cash reserves in marketable debt securities with banks and investment firms with which the Company has business relationships, and regularly monitors the credit ratings of its counterparties.  The Company sells a broad range of recreational products to a worldwide customer base and extends credit to its customers based upon an ongoing credit evaluation program.  The Company’s business units maintain credit organizations to manage financial exposure and perform credit risk assessments on an individual account basis.  Accounts are not aggregated into categories for credit risk determinations.  There are no concentrations of credit risk resulting from accounts receivable that are considered material to the Company’s financial position.  Refer to Note 9 – Financing Receivables for more information.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments. The carrying values of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable and short-term debt, including current maturities of long-term debt, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.  At September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was approximately $460.7 million and $605.1 million, respectively, and was determined using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs described in Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements, including quoted market prices or discounted cash flows based on quoted market rates for similar types of debt.  The carrying value of long-term debt, including current maturities, was $464.5 million as of September 28, 2013.

Fair Value Measurements	'
	Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements
	Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  There is a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
	•	Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets or liabilities.
	•	Level 2 - Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  These are typically obtained from readily available pricing sources for comparable instruments. The Company performs additional procedures to ensure its third party pricing sources are reasonable including: reviewing documentation explaining third parties' pricing methodologies and evaluating whether those methodologies were in compliance with GAAP; performing independent testing of period-end valuations and recent transactions against other available pricing sources; and reviewing available Service Organization Controls Reports, as defined in Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements Number 16, to understand the internal control environment at the Company's third party pricing providers.
	•	Level 3 - Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability.  These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.

	Refer to Note 4 – Financial Instruments for additional information related to the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities by class. Other liabilities shown in the tables above include certain deferred compensation plans of the Company as well as cash-settled non-vested stock units as discussed in Note 6 – Share-Based Compensation. In addition to the items shown in the tables above, refer to Note 16 in the Company's 2012 Form 10-K for further discussion regarding the fair value measurements associated with the Company’s postretirement benefit plans.
	As discussed in Note 3 – Restructuring Activities, the Company has initiated various restructuring activities requiring the Company to perform fair value measurements, on a non-recurring basis, of certain asset groups to test for potential impairments.  Certain of these fair value measurements indicated that the asset groups were impaired and, therefore, the assets were written down to fair value.  Once an asset has been impaired, it is not remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis; however, it is still subject to fair value measurements to test for recoverability of the carrying amount.  Other than the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as shown in the tables above, the definite-lived asset balances shown in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis were $17.9 million, of which $7.4 million, $3.2 million and $7.3 million, were measured as of March 30, 2013, December 31, 2012 and September 29, 2012, respectively.  Those balances were primarily determined with the market approach using Level 2 inputs, including third-party appraisals of comparable property.

In the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2013, there was $0.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of total expense after adjusting for forfeitures, due to amortization of SARs granted. In the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2012, there was $1.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively, of total expense after adjusting for forfeitures, due to amortization of SARs granted.
	The weighted average fair value of individual SARs granted during the first quarter of 2012 was $12.70. The Company estimated the fair value of the grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model, utilizing the following weighted average assumptions for 2012:
		2012
	Risk-free interest rate	1.1	%
	Dividend yield	0.2	%
	Volatility factor (A)	58.3	%
	Weighted average expected life	5.2 - 6.7 years
	(A) The Company uses a combination of implied and historical volatility in calculating the fair value of each grant.
	Non-vested stock awards
	The Company grants both stock-settled and cash-settled non-vested stock units and awards to key employees as determined by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee. During the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2013, the Company granted 0.0 million and 0.3 million stock awards, respectively. The Company granted 0.0 million and 0.3 million of stock awards during the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2012. The Company recognizes the cost of non-vested stock awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Additionally, cash-settled non-vested stock units and awards are recorded as a liability in the balance sheet, which is adjusted to fair value each reporting period through stock compensation expense. During the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2013, $2.7 million and $7.4 million, respectively, was charged to compensation expense for non-vested stock awards. During the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2012, $1.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively, was charged to compensation expense for non-vested stock awards.
	As of September 28, 2013, the Company had $7.1 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. The Company expects this cost to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.1 years.
	Performance Awards
	In both February 2013 and 2012, the Company granted 0.1 million performance shares to certain senior executives. The share awards are based on two performance measures--a cash flow return on investment (CFROI) measure and a total shareholder return (TSR) modifier. Target performance shares are earned during a one-year CFROI performance period, commencing at the beginning of the calendar year of each grant. The target performance shares earned from CFROI performance are then subject to a TSR modifier based on performance against a predefined comparator group over a three-year performance period which starts at the beginning of the calendar year of each grant. Additionally, in February 2013, the Company granted 26,000 performance shares to non-executive officers and certain senior managers based solely on the CFROI measure utilizing the same one-year performance period mentioned above. Based upon projections of probable attainment of the CFROI measure and the projected TSR modifier used to determine the performance awards, $1.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively, was charged to compensation expense for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2013. In the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2012, $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, was charged to compensation expense based upon projections of probable attainment of the CFROI measure and the projected TSR modifier used to determine the performance awards.
	The fair values of the senior executives' performance awards with a TSR modifier at the grant date in 2013 and 2012 were $35.93 and $26.81, respectively, which were estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model, and incorporated the following assumptions:
		2013		2012
	Risk-free interest rate	0.4	%	0.4	%
	Dividend yield	0.1	%	0.2	%
	Volatility factor	53	%	67.9	%
	Expected life of award	2.9 years		2.9 years
	The fair value of the non-executive officers and certain senior managers' performance awards granted based solely on the CFROI performance factor was $34.65.
	As of September 28, 2013, the Company had $2.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance awards. The Company expects this cost to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 years. As of September 28, 2013, 15,400 share awards granted in 2012 remain unvested resulting in $0.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost that the Company expects to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.
	Director Awards
	The Company issues stock awards to non-employee directors in accordance with the terms and conditions determined by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors.  One-half of each director’s annual fee is paid in Brunswick common stock, the receipt of which may be deferred until a director retires from the Board of Directors.  Each director may elect to have the remaining one-half paid in cash, in Brunswick common stock distributed at the time of the award, or in deferred Brunswick common stock units with a 20 percent premium.  Prior to May 2009, each non-employee director also received an annual grant of restricted stock units, which is deferred until the director retires from the Board.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]	'
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share	'
	Note 7 – Earnings (Loss) per Common Share
	Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing Net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per common share is calculated similarly, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of stock-settled SARs and stock options (collectively “options”), non-vested stock awards and performance awards.
	Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2013, and for the comparable periods ended September 29, 2012, were calculated as follows:
		Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
	(in millions, except per share data)	September 28,		September 29,			September 28,			September 29,
		2013		2012			2013			2012

	Discontinued operations	0		(0.22		)	(0.04		)	(0.41		)
	Net earnings	$	0.61	$	0.02		$	2.01		$	1.36
	As of September 28, 2013, the Company had 6.2 million options outstanding, of which 4.9 million were exercisable.  This compares with 8.4 million options outstanding, of which 5.7 million were exercisable, as of September 29, 2012.  During both the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2013, there were 0.9 million average shares of options outstanding for which the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s shares for the period then ended.  These options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. This compares to 2.2 million and 2.3 million anti-dilutive weighted average shares of options outstanding that were excluded from the corresponding periods ended September 29, 2012. Changes in average outstanding basic shares from September 29, 2012 to September 28, 2013, reflect the impact of options exercised and the vesting of stock and performance awards since the beginning of 2012.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Commitments and Contingencies	'
	Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies
	Financial Commitments
	The Company has entered into guarantees of indebtedness of third parties, primarily in connection with customer financing programs.  Under these arrangements, the Company has guaranteed customer obligations to the financial institutions in the event of customer default, generally subject to a maximum amount that is less than total obligations outstanding.  The Company has also extended guarantees to third parties that have purchased customer receivables from Brunswick and, in certain instances, has guaranteed secured term financing of its customers.  Potential payments in connection with these customer financing arrangements generally extend over several years.  The potential cash obligations associated with these customer financing arrangements as of September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012 were:
		Single Year Obligation						Maximum Obligation
	(in millions)	September 28,			September 29,			September 28,		September 29,
		2013			2012			2013		2012
	Marine Engine	$	5.3		$	4.1		$	5.3	$	4.1
	Boat	2.1			2.5			2.1		2.5

	Bowling & Billiards	0.6			1.2			1		2
	Total	$	35.2		$	34.7		$	40.8	$	40.1
	In most instances, upon repurchase of the debt obligation, the Company receives rights to the collateral securing the financing.  The Company’s risk under these arrangements is partially mitigated by the value of the collateral that secures the financing.  The Company had $1.7 million and $2.7 million accrued for potential losses related to recourse exposure at September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, respectively.
	The Company has also entered into arrangements with third-party lenders where it has agreed, in the event of a default by the customer, to repurchase from the third-party lender those Brunswick products repossessed from the customer.  These arrangements are typically subject to a maximum repurchase amount.  The reductions in single and maximum year obligations between 2012 and 2013 in the table below reflect changes to maximum repurchase terms in the Boat segment, which were agreed to in the first quarter of 2013. The potential cash payments the Company could be required to make to repurchase collateral as of September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012 were:
		Single Year Obligation						Maximum Obligation
	(in millions)	September 28,			September 29,			September 28,		September 29,
		2013			2012			2013		2012
	Marine Engine	$	2.1		$	1.5		$	2.1	$	1.5
	Boat	61.7			81			61.7		101
	Bowling & Billiards	0.2			—			0.2		—
	Total	$	64		$	82.5		$	64	$	102.5
	The Company’s risk under these repurchase arrangements is partially mitigated by the value of the products repurchased as part of the transaction.  The Company had $1.6 million and $2.1 million accrued for potential losses related to repurchase exposure at September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, respectively.  The Company’s repurchase accrual represents the expected losses that could result from obligations to repurchase products, after giving effect to proceeds anticipated to be received from the resale of those products to alternative dealers.
	The Company has recorded its estimated net liability associated with losses from these guarantee and repurchase obligations on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on historical experience and current facts and circumstances.  Historical cash requirements and losses associated with these obligations have not been significant, but could increase if dealer defaults exceed current expectations.
	The Company has accounts receivable sale arrangements with third parties which are included in the guarantee arrangements discussed above.  The Company treats the sale of receivables in which the Company retains an interest as a secured obligation as the transfers of the receivables under these arrangements do not meet the requirements of a “true sale.”  Accordingly, the current portion of receivables underlying these arrangements of $33.6 million and $36.8 million was recorded in Accounts and notes receivable and Accrued expenses as of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  Further, the long-term portion of receivables underlying these arrangements of $17.5 million and $24.1 million as of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, was recorded in Other long-term assets and Other long-term liabilities.
	Financial institutions have issued standby letters of credit and surety bonds conditionally guaranteeing obligations on behalf of the Company totaling $23.0 million and $13.5 million, respectively, as of September 28, 2013.  A large portion of these standby letters of credit and surety bonds are related to the Company’s self-insured workers’ compensation program as required by its insurance companies and various state agencies.  The Company has recorded reserves to cover the anticipated liabilities associated with these programs.  Under certain circumstances, such as an event of default under the Company’s revolving credit facility, or, in the case of surety bonds, a ratings downgrade below investment grade, the Company could be required to post collateral to support the outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds.  As a result of improving credit metrics, the Company is no longer required to post letters of credit as collateral against surety bonds.
	During the third quarter of 2011, the Company entered into a collateral trust arrangement with an insurance carrier and a trustee bank.  The trust is owned by the Company, but the assets are pledged as collateral against workers’ compensation related obligations.  In connection with this arrangement, the Company transferred $20.0 million of cash into the trust during the third quarter of 2011, and canceled an equal amount of letters of credit which had been previously provided as collateral against these obligations.  During the fourth quarter of 2012, the insurance carrier reduced the required collateral amount to $13.0 million, which resulted in a $7.0 million transfer of cash from Restricted cash to Cash and cash equivalents in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining cash assets included in the trust are classified as Restricted cash in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	Product Warranties
	The Company records a liability for product warranties at the time revenue is recognized.  The liability is estimated using historical warranty experience, projected claim rates and expected costs per claim.  The Company adjusts its liability for specific warranty matters when they become known and the exposure can be estimated.  The Company’s warranty liabilities are affected by product failure rates as well as material usage and labor costs incurred in correcting a product failure.  If actual costs differ from estimated costs, the Company must make a revision to the warranty liability.
	The following activity related to product warranty liabilities was recorded in Accrued expenses during the nine months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012:
	(in millions)	September 28,			September 29,
		2013			2012
	Balance at beginning of period	$	127.7		$	129.9
	Payments made	(48.7		)	(55.2		)
	Provisions/additions for contracts issued/sold	43.1			47.4
	Aggregate changes for preexisting warranties	(2.8		)	(2.2		)
	Warranty liability assumed from joint venture	—			7.4
	Warranty liability retained from discontinued operations	3			—
	Balance at end of period	$	122.3		$	127.3
	In the third quarter of 2013, the Company retained the warranty liability for Hatteras and Cabo boats sold or completed prior to selling these businesses as discussed in Note 2 – Discontinued Operations. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company assumed its share of the warranty liability from Cummins MerCruiser Diesel Marine LLC, the joint venture between Brunswick's Mercury Marine division and Cummins Marine, a division of Cummins Inc., in connection with the dissolution of the joint venture as discussed in Note 11 – Investments.
	Additionally, end users of the Company's Marine Engine, Boat and Fitness segments' products may purchase a contract from the Company that extends product warranty beyond the standard period.  For certain extended warranty contracts in which the Company retains the warranty or administration obligation, a deferred liability is recorded based on the aggregate sales price for contracts sold.  The deferred liability is reduced and revenue is recognized over the contract period during which costs are expected to be incurred.  Deferred revenue associated with contracts sold by the Company that extend product protection beyond the standard product warranty period, not included in the table above, was $55.8 million and $49.4 million at September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and is recorded in Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities.
	Legal and Environmental
	The Company accrues for litigation exposure when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Adjustments to estimates are recorded in the period the adjustments are identified. Management does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss exceeding the amounts already recognized for the Company’s litigation claims and matters, if any, has been incurred. However, the ultimate resolutions of these proceedings and matters are inherently unpredictable. As such, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these proceedings or matters.
	There were no significant changes to the legal and environmental commitments that were discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2012 Form 10-K.

Financing Receivables	'
	Note 9 – Financing Receivables
	The Company has recorded financing receivables, which are defined as a contractual right to receive money, recognized as assets on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 28, 2013, December 31, 2012 and September 29, 2012.  Substantially all of the Company’s financing receivables are for commercial customers.  The Company classifies its financing receivables into three categories: receivables repurchased under recourse provisions (Recourse Receivables); receivables sold to third-party finance companies (Third-Party Receivables) and customer notes and other (Other Receivables).  Recourse Receivables are the result of the contingent recourse arrangements discussed in Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies.  Third-Party Receivables are accounts that have been sold to third-party finance companies, but do not meet the definition of a true sale, and are therefore recorded as an asset with an offsetting balance recorded as a secured obligation in Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities as discussed in Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies.  Other Receivables are mostly comprised of notes from customers, which are originated by the Company in the normal course of business.  Financing receivables are carried at their face amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts.
	The Company sells a broad range of recreational products to a worldwide customer base and extends credit to its customers based upon an ongoing credit evaluation program.  The Company’s business units maintain credit organizations to manage financial exposure and perform credit risk assessments on an individual account basis.  Accounts are not aggregated into categories for credit risk determinations.  Due to the composition of the account portfolio, the Company does not believe that the credit risk posed by the Company’s financing receivables is significant to its operations or financial position.  There were no significant troubled debt restructurings during the three months or nine months ended September 28, 2013.
	The following are the Company’s financing receivables, excluding trade accounts receivable contractually due within one year, by segment as of September 28, 2013:

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
Segment Information	'
	Note 10 – Segment Data
	Brunswick is a manufacturer and marketer of leading consumer brands and operates in four reportable segments: Marine Engine, Boat, Fitness and Bowling & Billiards.  The Company’s segments are defined by management’s reporting structure and operating activities.
	The Company evaluates performance based on business segment operating earnings.  Operating earnings of segments do not include the expenses of corporate administration, non-service related pension costs, earnings from unconsolidated equity affiliates, other expenses and income of a non-operating nature, interest expense and income, loss on early extinguishment of debt or provisions for income taxes.
	As a result of freezing benefit accruals in its defined benefit pension plans, the Company allocates only service-related costs to the operating segment results and reports all other components of pension expense, such as Interest cost, Expected return on plan assets and Amortization of net actuarial losses, in Pension - non-service costs.
	Corporate/Other results include items such as corporate staff and administrative costs.  Corporate/Other total assets consist of mainly cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities, restricted cash, income tax balances and investments in unconsolidated affiliates.  Marine eliminations adjust for sales between the Marine Engine and Boat segments, primarily for the sale of engines to various boat brands, which are consummated at established arm’s length transfer prices as the intersegment pricing for these engines are based upon and consistent with selling prices to the Company's third party customers.

	Investments in Marketable Securities
	The Company invests a portion of its cash reserves in marketable debt securities.  These investments, which have an original maturity of up to two years, are reported in either Short-term or Long-term investments in marketable securities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Furthermore, the debt securities have readily determinable market values and are being accounted for as available-for-sale investments.  These investments are recorded at fair market value with unrealized gains and losses reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of Shareholders’ equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, on an after-tax basis.
	The following is a summary of the Company’s available-for-sale securities as of September 28, 2013:

	The Company had $107.4 million in redemptions and $35.7 million in sales of available-for-sale securities during the nine months ended September 28, 2013. During the second quarter of 2013, proceeds from the redemptions and sales of available-for-sale securities were used to repurchase outstanding Senior notes due in 2016. Refer to Note 16 – Debt for more information. The Company had $137.7 million in redemptions and $41.9 million in sales of available-for-sale securities during the nine months ended September 29, 2012. The net adjustment to Unrealized investment losses on available-for-sale securities included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $0.0 million for both the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2013. The net adjustment to Unrealized investment losses on available-for-sale securities included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $0.1 million for both the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2012.
	At each reporting date, management reviews the debt securities to determine if any loss in the value of a security below its amortized cost should be considered “other-than-temporary.”  For the evaluation, management determines whether it intends to sell or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the securities. This determination considers current and forecasted liquidity requirements, regulatory and capital requirements and the strategy for managing the Company’s securities portfolio. For all impaired debt securities for which there was no intent or expected requirement to sell, the evaluation considers all available evidence to assess whether it is likely the amortized cost value will be recovered. The Company also considers the nature of the securities, the credit rating or financial condition of the issuer, the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, market conditions and whether the Company intends to sell or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the debt securities.  As of September 28, 2013, there were no unrealized losses related to debt securities that required management evaluation.
	Equity Investments
	The Company has certain unconsolidated international and domestic affiliates that are accounted for using the equity method. Refer to Note 13 – Financial Services for more details on the Company’s Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC joint venture. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company's Cummins MerCruiser Diesel Marine LLC joint venture between Brunswick's Mercury Marine division and Cummins Marine, a division of Cummins Inc., ceased operations and began the liquidation process as the joint venture's business activities were transitioned to the parent companies. Refer to Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2012 Form 10-K for further detail relating to the Company's investments.

Financial Services [Abstract]	'
Financial Services	'
	Note 13 – Financial Services
	The Company, through its Brunswick Financial Services Corporation (BFS) subsidiary, owns a 49 percent interest in a joint venture, Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC (BAC).  CDF Ventures, LLC (CDFV), a subsidiary of GE Capital Corporation (GECC), owns the remaining 51 percent.  BAC commenced operations in 2003 and provides secured wholesale inventory floor-plan financing to Brunswick’s boat and engine dealers.
	In March 2013, the term of the BAC joint venture was extended through December 31, 2016.  The joint venture agreement contains provisions allowing for the renewal of the agreement or the purchase of the other party’s interest in the joint venture at the end of its term.  Alternatively, either partner may terminate the agreement at the end of its term.  The joint venture agreement contains a financial covenant that is conformed to the minimum fixed-charge coverage ratio test contained in the Facility as described in Note 16 – Debt.  Compliance with the fixed-charge coverage ratio test under the joint venture agreement is only required when the Company’s Availability under the Facility, as described in Note 16 – Debt, is below $37.5 million.  As of September 28, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the fixed-charge coverage ratio covenant under both the joint venture agreement and the Facility.
	BAC is funded in part through a $1.0 billion secured borrowing facility from GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation (GECDF), which is in place through the term of the joint venture, and with equity contributions from both partners.  BAC also sells a portion of its receivables to a securitization facility, the GE Dealer Floorplan Master Note Trust, which is arranged by GECC.  The sales of these receivables meet the requirements of a “true sale” and are therefore not retained on the financial statements of BAC.  The indebtedness of BAC is not guaranteed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.  In addition, BAC is not responsible for any continuing servicing costs or obligations with respect to the securitized receivables.  BFS and GECDF have an income sharing arrangement related to income generated from the receivables sold by BAC to the securitization facility.  The Company records this income in Other income, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
	The Company considers BFS’s investment in BAC as an investment in a variable interest entity of which the Company is not the primary beneficiary.  To be considered the primary beneficiary, the Company must have the power to direct the activities of BAC that most significantly impact BAC’s economic performance and the Company must have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from BAC that could be potentially significant to BAC.  Based on a qualitative analysis performed by the Company, BFS did not meet the definition of a primary beneficiary.  As a result, BFS’s investment in BAC is accounted for by the Company under the equity method and is recorded as a component of Equity investments in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The Company records BFS’s share of income or loss in BAC based on its ownership percentage in the joint venture in Equity loss in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.  BFS’s equity investment is adjusted monthly to maintain a 49 percent interest in accordance with the capital provisions of the joint venture agreement.  The Company funds its investment in BAC through cash contributions and reinvested earnings.  BFS’s total investment in BAC at September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $10.6 million and $10.5 million, respectively.
	The Company’s maximum loss exposure relating to BAC is detailed as follows:
	(in millions)	September 28,			December 31,
		2013			2012
	Investment	$	10.6		$	10.5
	Repurchase and recourse obligations (A)	51.7			72.3
	Liabilities (B)	(1.2		)	(1.6		)
	Total maximum loss exposure	$	61.1		$	81.2
	(A)	Repurchase and recourse obligations are off-balance sheet obligations provided by the Company for the Boat and Marine Engine segments, respectively, and are included within the Maximum Potential Obligations disclosed in Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies.  Repurchase and recourse obligations are mainly related to a global repurchase agreement with GECDF and could be reduced by repurchase activity occurring under other similar agreements with GECDF and affiliates.  The Company’s risk under these repurchase arrangements is partially mitigated by the value of the products repurchased as part of the transaction.  Amounts above exclude any potential recoveries from the value of the repurchased product.
	(B)	Represents accrued amounts for potential losses related to recourse exposure and the Company’s expected losses on obligations to repurchase products, after giving effect to proceeds anticipated to be received from the resale of these products to alternative dealers.
	BFS recorded income related to the operations of BAC of $0.8 million and $3.0 million for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2013, respectively. During the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2012, BFS recorded income of $0.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively. This income includes amounts earned by BFS under the aforementioned income sharing agreement.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Income Taxes	'
	Note 14 – Income Taxes
	The Company recognized an income tax benefit from continuing operations for the three months ended September 28, 2013 of $2.2 million, which included a net benefit of $4.3 million mainly associated with the reassessment of tax reserves as well as unfavorable valuation allowance adjustments primarily related to stock-based compensation. The Company recognized an income tax provision from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 28, 2013 of $31.6 million, which included a net charge of $9.0 million mainly associated with unfavorable valuation allowance adjustments primarily related to stock-based compensation and the reassessment of tax reserves. The Company recognized an income tax provision from continuing operations of $9.2 million for the three months ended September 29, 2012, which included a charge of $2.3 million primarily related to the reassessment of tax reserves. The Company recognized an income tax provision from continuing operations of $30.0 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2012, which included a net tax charge of $0.1 million. The net tax charge included the reassessment of tax reserves and unfavorable valuation allowance adjustments primarily related to stock-based compensation, partially offset by the benefit of the release of valuation allowances.  The effective tax rate from continuing operations, which is calculated as the income tax benefit or provision as a percentage of pretax income, for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2013 was (4.0) percent and 14.2 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2012 was 29.0 percent and 15.5 percent, respectively.
	The Company continues to adjust its valuation allowances as deferred tax assets increase or decrease, resulting in effectively no recorded tax benefit for those jurisdictions with operating losses. In those jurisdictions with operating income and loss or credit carryforwards, the Company is recording minimal or no tax expense.  However, an income tax provision or benefit is still recorded for those entities that are not in a cumulative loss position.
	In certain jurisdictions, the Company is either in or just emerging from a cumulative three-year loss position, which is significant negative evidence when evaluating the realizability of its deferred tax assets. In the Company's judgment, this and other negative evidence continues to outweigh the positive evidence of profitability in 2011, 2012 and the first nine months of 2013, thereby requiring the Company to continue to maintain full valuation allowances for certain entities in the third quarter of 2013. The Company will continue to evaluate the need to maintain these valuation reserves against the deferred tax assets. To the extent positive evidence trends continue and the Company's final plans for 2014 and future long-term forecasts show sustained profitability, the Company's conclusion regarding the need for full valuation allowances could change, making it possible that a significant portion of the Company's $723.4 million of deferred tax asset valuation allowance balances as of September 28, 2013 could be reversed by the end of 2013.
	As of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $10.6 million and $27.8 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, respectively.  The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, as of September 28, 2013, could decrease by approximately $5.3 million in the next 12 months due to settlements with taxing authorities or lapses in the statute of limitations.  Due to the various jurisdictions in which the Company files tax returns and the uncertainty regarding the timing of the settlement of tax audits, it is possible that there could be other significant changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in 2013, but the amount cannot be estimated.
	The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.  As of September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $0.7 million and $3.1 million accrued for the payment of interest, respectively. There were no amounts accrued for penalties at September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
	The Company is regularly audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The Company's taxable years 2010 through 2012 are currently open for examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The federal statute of limitations has expired for the taxable years 2006 through 2009. Primarily as a result of filing amended returns, which were generated by the closing of federal income tax audits, the Company is still open to state and local tax audits in major tax jurisdictions dating back to the 2004 taxable year. With the exception of Germany, where the 2002 through 2007 tax audit has been completed and final tax assessments are pending, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by any other major foreign tax jurisdiction for years prior to 2007.

Debt	'
	Note 16 – Debt
	Short-term debt at September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, consisted of the following:

	Current maturities of long-term debt	$	4.6		$	6.5
	Other short-term debt	—			1.7
	Total short-term debt	$	4.6		$	8.2
	In March 2011, the Company entered into a five-year $300.0 million secured, asset-based borrowing facility (Facility).  Borrowings under this Facility are limited to the lesser of $300.0 million or the value of the borrowing base, consisting of certain accounts receivable and inventory of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.  As of September 28, 2013, the borrowing base totaled $313.5 million, and available borrowing capacity totaled $279.0 million, net of $21.0 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Facility.  The Company has the ability to issue up to $125.0 million in letters of credit under the Facility.  The Company had no borrowings under the Facility as of September 28, 2013.  The Company pays a facility fee of 25.0 to 62.5 basis points per annum, which is adjusted based on a leverage ratio.  The facility fee was 25.0 basis points per annum as of September 28, 2013.  Under the terms of the Facility, the Company has multiple borrowing options, including borrowing at a rate tied to adjusted LIBOR plus a spread of 225 to 300 basis points, which is adjusted based on a leverage ratio.  The borrowing spread was 225 basis points as of September 28, 2013.  The Company may also borrow at the highest of the following, plus a spread of 125 to 200 basis points, which is adjusted based on a leverage ratio (125 basis points as of September 28, 2013): the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50 percent; the Prime Rate established by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.; or the one month adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.00 percent.
	The Company’s borrowing capacity may also be affected by the fixed charge covenant included in the Facility.  The covenant requires that the Company maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, of greater than 1.0, whenever unused borrowing capacity plus certain cash balances (together representing Availability), falls below $37.5 million.  At the end of the third quarter of 2013, the Company had a fixed charge coverage ratio in excess of 1.0, and therefore had full access to borrowing capacity available under the Facility.  When the fixed charge covenant ratio is below 1.0, the Company is required to maintain at least $37.5 million of Availability in order to be in compliance with the covenant.  Consequently, the borrowing capacity is effectively reduced by $37.5 million whenever the fixed charge covenant ratio falls below 1.0.
	Long-term debt at September 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, consisted of the following:

Interim Financial Statements	'
	Interim Financial Statements.  The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Brunswick Corporation (Brunswick or the Company) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements and related notes prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted.  Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including the presentation of consolidated Net earnings adjusted for the net loss from discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Prior year conforming changes include changing the starting point of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows from "Net earnings from continuing operations" to "Net earnings" followed by "Less: net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax".
	These financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and have been prepared in conformity with, the accounting principles reflected in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Brunswick’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the 2012 Form 10-K).  These results include, in the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Brunswick as of September 28, 2013, December 31, 2012, and September 29, 2012, the results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012.  Due to the seasonality of Brunswick’s businesses, the interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year.
	The Company maintains its financial records on the basis of a fiscal year ending on December 31, with the fiscal quarters spanning thirteen weeks and ending on the Saturday closest to the end of that thirteen-week period.  The first three quarters of fiscal year 2013 ended on March 30, 2013, June 29, 2013 and September 28, 2013, and the first three quarters of fiscal year 2012 ended on March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 29, 2012.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  The Company evaluates the pronouncements of various authoritative accounting organizations, primarily the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the SEC, and the Emerging Issues Task Force, to determine the impact of new pronouncements on GAAP and the impact on the Company.  The following are recent accounting pronouncements that have been adopted during the nine months ended September 28, 2013, or will be adopted in future periods.
	Unrecognized Tax Benefit: In July 2013, the FASB amended the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) to provide guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance states that entities should present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for an NOL or tax credit carryforward whenever the NOL or tax credit carryforward would be available to reduce the additional taxable income or tax due if the tax position is disallowed. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the ASC amendment will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	Comprehensive Income:  In February 2013, the FASB amended the ASC to require entities to provide information about amounts reclassified out of other comprehensive income by component. The Company is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, the amounts reclassified from other comprehensive income to the respective line items in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. This amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Refer to Note 12 – Comprehensive Income for the Company's disclosures as a result of adopting this amendment.
	Offsetting Assets and Liabilities: In January 2013, the FASB amended the ASC to provide additional guidance on the scope of disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The additional guidance provided that only recognized derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions would be subject to disclosure requirements. This amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and retrospective application is required. The adoption of this amendment did not have an impact on the Company's disclosure or the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
	Intangibles – Goodwill and Other:  In July 2012, the FASB amended the ASC to simplify how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment.  The amendment to the ASC permits entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If based on this assessment, the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then performing the quantitative impairment test is unnecessary.  The amendment is effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  The Company adopted this amendment in 2013 and it did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Investments in Marketable Securities	'
	The Company invests a portion of its cash reserves in marketable debt securities.  These investments, which have an original maturity of up to two years, are reported in either Short-term or Long-term investments in marketable securities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Furthermore, the debt securities have readily determinable market values and are being accounted for as available-for-sale investments.  These investments are recorded at fair market value with unrealized gains and losses reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of Shareholders’ equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, on an after-tax basis.

	(B)	Represents accrued amounts for potential losses related to recourse exposure and the Company’s expected losses on obligations to repurchase products, after giving effect to proceeds anticipated to be received from the resale of these products to alternative dealers.
