    Mercury Marine On Fire

    My telephone told me that Mercury Marine was on fire the other day in Fon Du Lac, Wis.
    Thats all I know.
    If I don't ask any questions, I'll never learn anything.

    The best prop they made was the 24~26 ET. When the blades would stay on the root of the hub.
