It is Johnson that uses Suzuki 4 strokes.. .40 and up, maybe some of the smaller ones, too.

Re: Mercury 40hp 4 stroke

That's right JB Mercury and Yamaha have been in bed together since the 70's (remember the early Mariners?) I believe the 4 stroke EFI models are all Merc. Some of the early 4s carbs were combinations. I don't remember what they told us about that in the last school I went to.<br /><br />dilligaf is generally how I feel about most situations DHP. I do my job to the best of my ability and if people don't like it, they can KMA. I use the what part of no line all the time. I guess I have become a bit jaded after 20 years in this business.
