YES, This is true we produce all of the GIL replacement manifolds for both GIL and Mercury HP. These manifolds are produced in the same foundry and use the same process as they always did. The difference is now they say "Hardin" on the side. We also produce the GIL replacement sea strainer and components as well as the battery boxes , oil pans, and even offshore motor mounts.
