Have no experience with them, but according to the user manual, they are made in China. From a quick search around the net, they appear to be manufactured by Parsun and distributed under a couple of different names. The Parsun 5hp looks pretty much the same, particularly the lower unit:

Buy a Tohatsu. They're the same motor as Nissan and the small Mercurys. You can pay an extra $400 to $500 in order to get a Tohatsu with a black cowl that says Mercury on it, or you can pay much less and get the same motor with a gray cowl that says Tohatsu.
