Anytime I look for parts or anything for Chrysler, it usually falls under Force/Chrysler. To answer your question, I'd have to say Chrysler. I'm sure some others can confirm for sure.

Chrysler was Crysler untill Brunnswick/Mercury bought the company. They changed the Crysler name to Force and did some cosmetic changes. I think the added some modern tecnology (but not much) and better quality control. The company needed a less expensive product for the consumers. <br /><br />Bear

1986, 85HP Force was built by US Marine Corp. and is essentially a Chrysler. Chrysler sold to US Marine in 1984 and Mercury bought Force in 1992/1993. Mercury continued to build Force with Minor changes including using Mercury Lower units untill they stopped production in 1999.
