New outboard delivery time

[bax]

Does anyone have the latest information on whether delivery time on new orders for outboards have been adversely affected by the troubles in Japan?

Thanks,

Tohatsu has reported that all employees are safe & unharmed.

Both the headquarters in Tokyo and the factory in Komagane are located in areas that were unaffected by the earthquake & tsunami that hit in the northern part of Japan.

The majority of suppliers for the Tohatsu factory were also not in the affected area, however, many areas are experiencing delays in transportation as well as “rolling blackouts” throughout the country which may cause some delays in the factory receiving their parts in a timely manner.

Although the situation in Japan is very fluid right now and changing daily, the Tohatsu factory has thus far not experienced any major delays in production.

Paul,

Thanks for the update. Such a horrible situation over there. Hopefully they will rebound well.
