"I suspect most people that bad mouth China labor use a bunch of product's from there and don't even know it!"
Ok. Ya. you are right... I am one of those that used products made in China.
And, as a matter of conscience, I am making an effort on reducing my dependence on China. I do not wish to support China. So, I want to make sure that the last boat, that I am ever going to buy... dose not have a motor manufactured in China.
I am ok with a Suzuki built in Thailand.
The Chinese importer, Mercury Marine, Got a 50 million from Wisconsin Tax payers to support their organization... at the same time, Evinrude/Johnson just 75 miles south, sent all their workers home with a pink slip... never to manufacture boat outboards motors again.
