AMEN to that, I bought a Beemer in 2003, worst P O S I ever had.

There's a TON of old Chryslers and FORCES (kudos to Orin Edsons' Bayliner organizations marketing) still running out there. Mercury Marine is still providing parts.
We have to commend Brunswick / Mercury for their support of older motors in these trying times.

Just picked up a decent FORCE gearcase for future sales as the rebuilders have run out of parts.
