what200 said:<br />"Most engine mftrs switched to prop shaft HP around mid 80's. On mercurys it depended on the model, but I know the inline6 became prop rated in 85. Suzuki started in early 80's. I don't think Forces were ever rated at the prop."<br /><br />Maybe you seen that post already.

The year that Mercury changed is the year that the 140 was dropped. It became a 115 and the 115 became a 90.<br /><br />Craig
