Neither-US Marine.<br /><br />US Marine was a division of Brunswick (Bayliner). Merc produced Force engines topped out at 120. Although they were the same engine-basically.
Nope! Merc. and Brunswick sure are. I would expect you won't have trouble finding maintenance parts.<br /><br />Lower unit parts may be troublesome. Merc. put their own on shortly after they acquired them.
Just for your information guys. Mercury has been reported to have dropped the Force line this year. Don't know if it's the beginning or end of the year though.<br /><br />Craig
