Where are they made??

[npd4432]

I am kicking around the idea of doing a repower on my boat. I would like to keep the business in the USA if I could, so my question is where are the new E-TEC motors made?

Re: Where are they made??

With the bankrupcy of OMC there are no American outboard makers other than Mercury anymore, maybe look into a Verado.
Nothing is actually made in America any more, things are assembled from parts from 10 different countries.

Bombardier Recreational Products, maker of Evinrudes, has plants around the world. Including USA and Canada. As for what part is made where, only they know.

I'm not so darn sure that Mercury is made here either.

My 2008 90hp says Sturtevant Wisconsin on it. Also, see the press release below. I'd say they are made (or at least assembled) in the USA.
