What's the word on the street about current Mercury models?

AI summary

So this is tonight's answer from A1

The production location for Mercury outboards in the 60 to 90 horsepower (hp) range depends on the exact engine size: [1]

• Mercury 60 hp outboards are manufactured in Suzhou, China, where Mercury independently owns and operates a mid-range production facility.
• • Mercury 75 hp to 90 hp outboards are manufactured at Mercury Marine's primary world headquarters in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, USA. [1, 2, 3]

While both ranges are designed and engineered in the United States, Mercury splits its global manufacturing footprint by horsepower: portable outboards up to 30 hp are made via a joint venture in Japan, mid-range 40–60 hp engines are built in China, and larger 75–600 hp engines are produced in Wisconsin.

Yeah I been quizzing AI about my quad flywheels and the trigger node differences in production years , and by transposing the question different ways you get different answers to the same basic enquirery ( AI doesnt know how to spell inquiery ....neither do I but that's not the point ).

There seemed to be a lot of Tohatsu motors used on the Swamp People show. I don’t know how many true to life rigs were used. I know most, if not all, the gator fishing was fake.

I think a lot of "adventure" TV shows have a certain degree of "setup" to keep the audience's attention. Some of the stunts they add are real jokes.

My neighbor repowered his 225HP 4 cycle Mercs with the equivalent Tohatsu model. He was under the impression that Tohatsu made those 225HP motors for Merc, for cheaper than the Merc model. Any G2 on that?
