Re: Wizard vs Mercury

Dave is correct here that the KE-7 & KF-7 are 4 reed motors, but don’t count out those 4 reed motors. They run fantastic and start and troll easily. Our KE-7 pushed a 14′ Sea Nymph "Resorter" over 24 mph. Not bad for a "10" hp. motor. We are building our first KG-7, so we will see. Really the same powerhead through the Mk-20. The Wizard motors had shorter stroke, as that is what reduced the displacement. I still can’t figure out why Mercury bothered to do that, except perhaps that he wanted his motors to be a step above.
