bucktail Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Can never go wrong with a yamaha! I have had 3 and not a single problem! Just make sure you follow the break in procedures closely as the high performance engines have very tight tolerances now a days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skeeter99 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 (edited) one word!!! BULLETPROOF!!!!! like the old saying If you want to get to your fishing spot fast buy a merc, If you want to come home at the end of the day buy a yamaha!!! it is true I guess, i had a yammie on my skeeter and never touched the thing for 8 years and ran like a top never left me stranded, I upgraded hp and could not refuse the deal I got on a merc and in the second year I had a couple of small issues(but it also never left me stranded) just kinda a pain in the ass IMO the quality of a yamaha made by (tohatsu) japan is better than most including merc, beefier lower unit and other parts mind you the powerhead on my engine mercury is a yamaha design (tohatsu)believe it or not. not until you get above 115hp they are true merc's designed in the u.s.a everything under is just painted black and slap on a merc sticker, they just outsourced the engine development and production think of it as dodge cars and vans with a mitsubishi engine Edited March 9, 2008 by skeeter99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 tone z71 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 the V6 Yamahas are far away from Bulletproof,especially the HPDI both it and the carbed V6s 200-250 have more than there share of issues ,have a look on some of the big US fishing forums where guys run these day in day out,nothing bad can be said for Yamahas small-mid size engines thou they are drop dead reliable both 2 and 4 stroke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dim. Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Yamaha is a nice engine. You can't go wrong with it IMO the quality of a yamaha made by (tohatsu) japan is better than most including merc, beefier lower unit and other parts Interesting. Are you sure? Yamaha-Mariner, Evenrude-Suzuki and Nissan-Tohatsu. I did not hear about Yamaha-Tohatsu combinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
