Sorry — this is a bit of a hijack:
My facts say that Mercury outboards, 30 Hp and less, are made by Tohatsu in Japan.
The 40, 50 and 60 horsepower motors in are built in Suzhou, China.
Engines over 75 horsepower are built at Merc’s facility in Fond du Lac in Wisconsin.
All Evinrude motors are built and assembled in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, south of Milwaukee.
Yes, American jobs have moved off shore…. in most industries. Much of it has occurred due to Board Room pressure to improve the bottom line. Some of it has occurred is because we, the consumers, seek lower and lower prices. Not my .02 alone….. It’s documented by economists.
