It's not slightly changed, it's a copy.

You can't patent every prop as that's not how patents work.





We all have thick skin, some like GN7 have the skull to go along with it.



Says the person that does more gum flapping that all the rest of us combined. Go get the 6th graders to help you with the big words Bob. Maybe they can teach you a little about grammar while they're at it.

They're actually forged. The cases are cast, so lose a tooth on a gear and pop goes the wallet book :D

If they were used they were probably pitted. Pits are what starts the tooth decay and eventual wallet failure :D

Merc has had issues with brand new gearsets. The good shops will reject a fair amount of them before accepting a set that looks decent.

But yes, they don't look all that great.

Did they copy Mercury's outdrives or develop their own using Mercury's concept? Are they using any of Mercury's key concepts for the outdrive? Did Mercury patent the outdrive concept or any of the key components of it? And if so has that patent expired or has Mercury kept it current? And was Mercury even the one that developed the first outdrive?

Surely you should know that these questions need to be answered before your question can be.

Who developed the first screw prop. Menkins? Hi Johnson> Are they all paying royalties to them.
Whos getting paid the fucking paper clip?

Did that assclown thief Gusti pay Rudy Ramos royalities when he stole the idea for a flat bottom v drive boat for the half dozen POS he made before going bankrupt
The best part of getting you to open you mouth snoc, is you are MORE than willing to show the entire world just how fucking dumb you really are. Its amazing. Like intellectual suicide. But that would assume you had a brain to start with Mr Military INTEL
