    The Evinrude division has been a money looser for several years. Still a surprise. Sorry to the 650 people that are losing their jobs.

    I was a marine mechanic for an OMC dealership, and Johnson/Evinrude was always a top-shelf engine. The lost foam casting and FICHT fuel injection were game-changers in the two-stroke outboard field. I am sickened by the loss of jobs, and feel saddened that there will soon be no factory parts for the millions of units on the market.

    Coming from Minnesota originally, Evinrudes and Johnsons were on most of the boats in the early days. I had a Johnson on my 14 ft Lund. It made for a good combo.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    That would explain my Evinrude dealer out here putting up the Mercury logo's.
    Going to be quite a bit of this sort of thing going forward given the state of play I think.
