How many outboard manufacturers are there?

[Major Catastrophe]

Mercury
Suzuki
Johnson
Evinrude
Tohatsu
Honda
Yamaha
Mariner
Parsun

Then there is the obsolete brands.

Seagull

Can anyone add to the list?

 

[SK700]

How about

Minn Kota
Torqueedo
Flover

Nissan but thats the same as Tohatsu.

These need to be seen more in the UK.

outboards by Go Devil

 

[Andrew_Fanner]

Obsoletes to include Crescent, Volvo, Perkins, Lombardini, Ruggerini (not sure if the last two are actually out of production)

 

[jfm]

Obviously some of those are the same, with just decal engineering, as you know.

To add to the list:

Chrysler
Force
Archimedes (the earlier brand name for Volvo)
Selva

I thought you were going to list the manufacturers, rather than the brands? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I am trying to get an exhaustive list of both, mainly because the same engine may have different branding and with that comes a different dealer network.

Bombardier = johnson evinrude
Yam
Suzuki
Honda
Nissan = tohatsu
Selva
and all the small ones

I was bored waiting for my epoxy to dry before fitting my new coachroof (which I've now 1/2 done. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Major Catastrophe]

I wonder how many of these are still in regular service.

Major! You appear to have too much time on your hands.

Therefore I propose to do a full kit and barracks inspection at 9pm.

You are wrong, this is work. You don't think I ask this out of idle curiosity?
