All OEM's and Dealers received emails or letters saying "Do not discuss with consumers or display on social media till official release of May 18 anything about the up coming changes."

Pick one:

A. It was a misprint. Fake news.
B. Somebody at Merc got their knickers in a bunch over the OSO yokels ruining their debut. They already had the donuts and punch ordered, and now it’s ruined, JUST RUINED.
C. Budget cuts led to server issues.
D. Evinrude lawyers and cowl-related trademark infringement.
6. Matt and/or Jason worked really hard for months on their upcoming article about these new motors, changing the date on the article requires advanced editing software. (Oh, you didn’t know they knew about these? They knew. They might not admit it. But they knew. They ALL are part of the whole Marine Insustrial Complex conspiracy, designed to bilk is out of our hard earned money with their fancy magazine ads and new technology.)

I dunno Speedy...............I think Matt and Jason are in cohoots with Mercury. You know neither can swim and they both hate the water!

I know when we do dealer/press releases we give them a date, usually a week or 2 after we show them, that we are releasing the product to the public. We tell them and make them sign a argument saying they can not talk about this till this date, and if they do we will no invite them back. There have been a few over the yrs that don't follow the rules and it doesn't work out very well for them.
