That's what I'm saying,we all know what we call a bridgeport.But before that engine was developed,the term bridged port could have been in reference to the bridge that the finger port creates between the boost and the transfer port.

tiwjkw,I don't know you,I've never met you.Seems lately every time I post,you feel the need to piss on my leg.Its great that you know what Merc considered back in 85.Most of us that post here throw stuff out there to try to help come to the correct answer for the person asking a question,myself included.Not to bash and run down what other people think.What I posted may sound like crapp to you but I can pretty much assure you, that Mercury did not coin the term Bridgeport in 1985.If you know the answers to all, please just tell the guy what he has,and save some of the others from trying to help!

You may be the smartest guy on the board,don't know,don't care.These threads are supposed to be to help a fellow boater.When you say if you don't have the right answer don't make one up,I Agree.My post said. "There may be a misconception" not that it was a fact.I threw it out there as a possibility.As for posting to hear myself rattle.No I post to try to help.With over 4000 post,you have rattled a fair amount yourself.Or you have helped a fair amount of members.Ether way,my point is just because you don't agree with a post,There is not much to gain by flaming the poster.After a whole night of BS were no closer to an answer to the question.If ya ever get this way stop by,Ill buy ya a beer.

I sure don't know but maybe Mercury coined the word Bridgeport back in the sixties, maybe not, who knows, But they sure weren't the first to have a Bridgeport across the exhaust port. My 1953 McCulloch 4 cylinder 2 stroke 100hp Military Drone engine had bridgeport exhaust ports back in 1953. 3 of them in fact. Mercury could have learned something.
If I don't ask any questions, I'll never learn anything.

I was reading a book a while ago about two cycle motorcycle porting when I was doing some squish band work.In it,it talked about Bridgports and bridge porting.I beleave the term is generic as it was referd to in the book, as a narrow bridge running through or between ports to guide the ring.Enough rattling I'm going to bed.

I guess if you really want to know what they are, your gonna have to simply just pop off one cylinder head, take a look and the case will be solved. You can reuse your head gasket if it doesn't shred apart.
