Title: What Outboard do you run?
Post by: Kaczki on June 06, 2007, 02:45:17 PM: About a year ago I made a poll asking everybody what kind of outboard they ran. Like an idiot however I forgot to include Yamaha as an option, even though I have a 25hp Jap Mariner (Yamaha) on my aluminum boat. Hopefully this poll covers all the bases.

Edit: I checked and found out only that you could have 10 items on the poll. No other info that I can find. Sorry.

Post by: JimCt on June 08, 2007, 08:55:47 AM: Back in the old days everyone was in the game. Neptune was made by Muncie Gear Works.

Post by: Kaczki on June 08, 2007, 11:03:48 AM: Force would be #1 on a different poll- "Worst outboard ever made in the History of the World"
Title: Muncie
Post by: GoneFission on June 09, 2007, 03:53:00 PM: Muncie Gear Works also made an outdrive. It looks like an OMC, but has MGW cast on the back...

Post by: JimCt on June 09, 2007, 10:27:47 PM: Was Force made by Mercury marine? Why is it considered a poor motor?

Post by: Kaczki on June 09, 2007, 10:40:36 PM: Its a Chrysler.
