What is the difference between my older ('88) Merc 100hp ELOPT and a newer model with the ELPTO tag? Are they virtually the same thing with a different alphabetical arrangement? I read a different thread on here where "ELPTO" was referred to as Electric Start Power Trim Oil Injection (maybe a little wordier, point is...). That said, is there any difference between that and the earlier ELOPT, or did Mercury simply decide that ELOPT closely resembled "eloped" and changed it to PTO?
