    Japanese parts and motorss

    Our prayers go out to the Japanese people for the horrors they are enduring right now While its a small matter compared to their trouble, is it reasonable to expect a shortage or total stoppage of Marine (and other) gear from there. Yammy, nisson Suzuki etc or are the dealers well stocked...

    I don't have access to a lot of catalogs. Hoping you guys can help me. Who makes a 9.8 or 15 horse, long shaft (20-inch), outboard with electric start and remote throttle control?

However, my pontoon - like all pontoons - does not...
