Mercury or Tohatsu outboard motor?

Re: Mercury or Tohatsu outboard motor?
Not in Australia. Pull the cowlings off and place them side by side - they are not the same engines. Power heads might be the same, but carby's and emission control gear is different.

Has anyone here had any experience with lightning strikes? If you're out in the open ocean and you get hit by lightning, what actually happens? Should I "earth" my mast or does that just...
