At your worst you admitted 1 in 5 with Ficht & that means you'll always

I did not admit to that. It is a quote from the then president of OMC David
Jones in a press conference and it applied only to 25" shaft 150-175hp 1998
models. If you remember back then, I was the one who brought it to your
attention as you have no real info or knowledge, both now and back then, of
the outboard industry.
