Modern Mercury 3 EFI's sold outside US?
Mercury still makes an EFI 3 liter sold in many parts of the world outside the US, for example: https://www.mercurymarine.com/en/afr...stroke/250-hp/
Question is, are these made in Mercury's Fond du Lac plant (as I'm sure they were before 2005), or overseas?

They dont say 3L efi 2 stroke in the add, But in the spec's it say's dual overhead cam. That kind of give's it away.

The link says loop charged, oil injected. I'd say that's a real outboard.
Need to hire a smuggler to get them thru customs.
Find us a country where they still make the 225 promax and I'll go in on a container load!

Closest I've come to some of the third world restriction free outboards is a few years back a friend raised a smuggler boat with 3 carb 250 Yamaha's on it after coast guard sunk it. Sad that the third world has access to better outboards than us.
