RXPs in a Suzuki commercial???

Isn't Suzuki still tied with arctic cat, skidoo's competitor?

They also make all of Johnson 4-Stroke outboards for BRP.

Suzuki makes Johnson outboards?

[ActionR32]

Yep, only the 4-strokes.

I am a Mercury/Mariner person anyways, any bad surprise about where they're made?

[ActionR32]

Mercury had a thing going with Yamaha but that stoped last year, I heard they went to court.
Personally I would only put an Evinrude ETEC on the back of my boat.

If my Mercury/Mercruiser/Mariner is built by Yamaha then it's fine...

[ActionR32]

The only thing that was built by Yamaha for Mercury as far as I'm aware is a few of the smaller motors.
If you gave me a Mercury I would sell it in a heart beat I would consider a Yamaha but only the OX series, HPDI and 4-stroke outboards never.

I believe Merc was using Yamaha 4-strokes until they had their own model available. Now they have a SC 4 stroke of their own manufacture. I wonder how much longer it will be until Merc starts to get motors from China. They closed their Lake X test facility and one of their assembly plants here in FL. Actually Chinese quality control and design may be better than what they offer now !!

Your right Richard, I forgot about that, Merc has the SC Verado now.
