Who makes
Evinrude? Not Evinrude. The brand name is just an asset bought on the
cheap.

I know the pre-bankruptsy Evinrude 4 strokes were Suzuki. The strange
thing is Suzuki has a fairly good name but the Evinrudes really
sucked. They had a 2 for 2 failure rate in the 2 neighbors I knew who
had them. Both had corrosion problems that led to catastrophic power
head failures.
