Ca. 1984 when the Dollar was strong against the Dmark I bought a Belgian made Mercury 35, it was shipped to Houston. OMC also apparently had a factory in Belgium, in Austria/Germany I own Belgian made Evinrude 6 (1981, converted to 7.5 hp) and 25 (1978, converted to 35 hp) motors, and a 1980 Belgian made Johnson 35. Does anyone know where the factory was, and if spare parts were made here or were shipped to Europe? I have some German language OMC service manuals which I bought on Ebay.de just to learn the terminology (powerpack, exhaust tuner, charge coil, sensor coil, etc). German language OMC parts manuals seem not to have existed. It's quite hard now to find an Evinrude dealer (I've never seen an E-Tec motor anywhere in Germany, and we're on the Baltic every summer), Mercury and Yamaha dominate. The collapse of OMC in 2000 apparently killed the dealer network nearly completely.
