The props shown on e-bay are not choppers but thru hub cleavers as used on a bravo outdrive.

The guy seems a little confused too... Mercury mirage stainless steel choppers????

Theres always cleavers advertised on ebay as choppers. I was looking for a cleaver a while back and noticed there was nearly more cleavers advertised as choppers than there was choppers, lol.

BTW, there is a nice 26 'chopper' on ebay at the moment. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...sPageName=WDVW

What happened to the Adams Dock Chopper Reference with all the different Merc Choppers in years and part numbers?

Clicked on the link Pyro provided and nothing

Thanks Adam, I refer people there sometimes, I noticed that the old site was down a couple weeks ago. Glad to see it's still around. Very cool info...

Having said that... Is anyone looking for a cheap 30P chopper? Hardly used.

**RBT** · 03-06-2006, 09:24 AM

New choppers from Merc do not have the weed cutters.

Yeah, it was drilled by the previous owner Chris Lacey. $200 plus shipping, or $250 shipping included.

Also if I recall some of the Merc Catalogs where good at defining The names that were registered trademarks of Brunswick Corp ...I believe Chopper was one of them. Others where like ...Jet Prop, Perma Gap, Thunderbolt, etc, etc.

Yeah, Mercury put a claim on "cleaver" too. I think "prior use" would disqualify that claim if Merc tried to enforce their rights to a name they didn't invent nor were the first to apply.

I also have a 26"P chopper in good condition, if anyone is interested... It is also drilled for an OMC... same price (200 plus shipping)

Also, regarding the topic of this post, it's important to indicate small-ear or big-ear when you're selling a chopper, since they're quite different. Posting the part number is helpful when the seller isn't sure. Of course, Adam's page (the link above) should clear that issue up...
