They were on the way out before Covid-19, their market share was tiny. Their outboards have a very vocal, but small fan base. They only made two stroke engines when the market had decidedly chosen more modern four strokes. They pushed their two stroke technology into the modern age with fuel injection and various other technologies, but in the end it’s like putting fuel injection and digital gauges in an Edsel, it’s still an Edsel.

Covid-19 was a convenient excuse, they wouldn’t have lasted much longer even without the pandemic.

I have 2 four strokes. One is a Mercury and the other a Tohatsu. The Tohatsu is a 3.5 and I think the Mercury is a 4. Both run our dingheys great. But my fav motor I use for just around the harbor is a cheap electric motor I bought off Walmart.com. Sooooo easy and the kids can use it.
