[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 2928, member: 55"] Aw you never can tell these days. Lots of companies made them for other companies (Johnson and Evinrude were for the most part identical when owned by OMC. Mercury and mariner were essentially identical for the longest time as well. Johnnyrude made gales, and a couple of gamefishers (sears) but they often weren't the same. Chrysler and force engines are identical pieces of crap. Recently, Suzuki made small johnson engines. I believe Elto was a nephew to evinrude, but they didn't share many characteristics either. There are many many more that I haven't thought of now. The only real way to tell, IMHO, is to get someone who knows what he is looking at, to take a view of the block. Otherwise, you just get a whole bunch of internet BS. [/QUOTE]
