I seem to recall hearing that 40 ~ 60 HP four strokes were
co-developed with Yamaha and manufactured by Merc. Also, they are
going to the new Merc factory in China!


Oh no!

Lead in the paint.




Ah, corporate think. Fire 1000 American workers making a semi-decent

cents an hour.


And, the union pension funds will still invest in that US company
because it return will increase the union guys retirement.
