Just out of curiousity, the model of my Johnson is a Belgium Model. Was this made IN Belgium or made FOR Belgium. Maybe some of you OMC gurus out there can clarify this.

As far as I know they were made IN Belgium. It'd be a lot of work to make a model for each country!

The answer to your question is---"depends" Most motors for the European market were made in Belgium. Depending on the year, most of the smallest motors (like 4hp) for sale in USA were also made in Belgium. Again, depending on the year, motors were also made in other countries for sale in other markets. Australia would be one example.

Does the exhaust note have a belgian accent ?? LOL

There are 600 brands of beer in Belgium. (I have friends there) But try as I might, I can't tasted one ounce of beer coming out of the exhaust.

If that is a serious question, same way that if you go to the dealer and buy a new German Volkswagon, it was made in Mexico. At least they were the last I heard. And how many other North American products do you buy that were made in China? The last USA solid rock American Dodge that I bought was made in Canada. Well that's a heap better than China!!
