.. Some certain parts that they both use/sell may come from the same manufacturer/vendor.. For example neither one really "makes" the gimble bearings..

Re: Distributor Cap And Rotor ?
Just for the sake of saying the AC/DELCO parts look just as cheaply made as Standard or KEM. The rotor that i used is from KEM part # 1291 not sure what the DELCO # is. The dist cap AC/DELCO that i used is part # d303a. I wanted to use all AC/DELCO parts but when i compared AC/DELCO to KEM they looked exactly the same as far as quality. All in all the boat runs fine. Thanks for the feedback.

Sierra is owned by Echlin corp. the same company that owns Napa autoparts. I believe that Mercury marine is still a Brunswick company. Ed

The thing about these kinds or parts is that while Brunswick is parent to Mercury Marine, they probably don't actually manufacture those particular parts. Eichlin could well be building them for NAPA, Sierra, AND Brunswick, and doing so with slight differences to accommodate their individual customer's specs. Bottom line --- when in doubt, go with the OEM parts. --- Jer
