Noisy at idle. Seriously. Nice ****er, though.
Please feel free to post a video of yours at idle.
Assuming that you actually have a Yamaha that is. :)
I don't own a video camera.
Give it up guys................

This whole thing of 'mine is bigger than yours' is getting old.
But...my motor is smaller than his...not bigger.
And it makes less noise...not more!
Prove it.


Speaking of proof, I just checked the Evinrude site and could not find a
link that took me to the dozens of motor and boat test reports you can
find on the Mercury and Yamaha sites. The Evinrude site has lots of
pop-ups and hyperbole, but not the kind of hard information that helps a
potential buyer evaluate performance and fuel economy.

Can you provide the link there I couldn't find...appreciate it...

Maybe you should try again. There's all kinds of comparison data.




Yeah? In a non-hyperbolic format? I don't mean the sort of
unsubstantiated claims about "service." I mean, charts that show a
particular boat, with all its measurements and weights, air temp of the
day, what gear is on the boat, how many crew, how much fuel, what prop,
and the readouts of RPM, speed, fuel burn through the operational range
of the engine.

I couldn't find that link on the Evinrude site. If you can, please let
me know what it is.

Yamaha and Mercury provide the data...on the Yamaha site, it looks like
this:

Where are the similar pages on the Evinrude site?
