I just heard somewhere recently that Mercs 30 hp and less were made by Tohatsu. Is that True?? I have a 3.3 merc and it looks like a 3.5 Tohatsu

Re: 1996 40hp mercury/force
However, Merc did make positive changes to the block and put on a Mercury ignition. Thus, while externally the block and carb resembles the older models, internally it is different--notably a much larger bore and longer connecting rods. It will run circles around the old 45. here
Well, Cowboy, yes, it is a Force made by Mercury. The block derives from the old Chrysler 35, 45, 50, and 55 engines and the 50 Force, As far as I know, Force, when owned by Brunswick, did not make a 40--only a 50. here

As far as I know, only the props are swappable with the Merc 40. [links]
Re: 1998 40 hp Force outboard (Mercury) starting problems
It may be a coincidence. If you are running an old battery which is low in power it can damage relays & starters. Not enough power getting to them for then to work properly so they heat up.
Run a new wire from the solenoid to the ignition switch & back. more
this is good stuff. I'm having similar problems and this helps ALOT. here
