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.
