How Durable Is A Yamaha Outboard? 

😥☹

Thats how i think

Same

Bruh mainly everything has to go through this plus they can be cheap and still run

You just made me sad

Every Yamaha can pass the test

Boyzs !

@@king579pro7 not the newer ones

Being a reliable and long lasting motor, smh who wants that? We all want the crappy junk mercs right?

Seth H How many racing records are held by Mercury outboards? Quite a few, and Honda and Yamaha can’t come close. Sure, racing engines don’t last nearly as long. My 2.5l 280hp needs more maintenance than most, but every pass it gets hit with a 300hp shot of nitrous. Now, I do have a 1960’s Merc 60hp that is on my small fishing boat and it has over 7,000 hours, still running strong. Never changed anything but water pumps, spark plugs and once a trim relay. My grandfather used it every day for more than 20 years, then my dad used it for another decade before I got it. I don’t have a problem with any brand of outboard, because I’ve had good luck with all of them. Even Chrysler/Force. Although, I will admit that the Evinrude/Johnson 60-75hp 3 cylinder engines are my favorite for smaller boats.

Adam R yeah but Yamaha isint in the racing industry they are more about reliability, but gee 7000 hours??, wow incredible, we have 4000 hours on our Yamaha, no problems yet! Just like you said spark, impeller, and we do the lower unit oil change every year

Seth H You were the one calling Mercury outboards crap. I’m just pointing out facts that prove otherwise. I’ve seen plenty Honda’s and Yamahas that didn’t make it too 100 hours before having major problems. Everyone turns out a few lemons. Also, some people try to use racing engines on their fishing boats, abusing the engine leading to a short life. Every time you see a big center console boat with 2 to 6 R series outboards on the back, you are looking at a boat where the owner wanted to show off his money, rather than picking an engine that was made for the job. Most of the “bad” engines I’ve seen were abused in such a manner. Weather it be people trying to troll with a racing engine (what kills most big racing Mercs) or trying to treat a lower rpm work engine like a high rpm racing engine (what seems to kill most of the Yami’s and Honda’s) it mainly comes down to people picking the wrong engine for the application.

Adam R yeah, but mercury warranty is 2-3 years, Yamaha 3-6 year warranty, to me that says enough about reliability. racing I’ll gladly give that to mercury, but for me and my little Jon boat I don’t need racing engines and high maintenance motors, just a reliable motor, with my 6 year warranty, but like you said there are cases were mercury would be the better engine, like racing boats

Watch the end of the video

ThatBoatGuy I did and can’t wait for that video

Man that thing is like a timex its takes a licken and keeps on a ticking

I hope you win it.

Jason Z hope you get it

15 with a 9.9 hood hahaha.

Exactly. Thats why i only buy new nowadays.

“Runs great! Low hours. Only used once.”

FlyMeAirplane no and throw it down the Mariana Trench and let it sit there for 5 years

how did you manage to do that? run with no oil?

I almost cried😭

Scott Souva, I’d say maybe a pipe issue. Maybe a leak. Haven’t had any problems with my inboard and it’s impeller.

Chad Dame, maybe the shifter cable.

You didn’t put it back together properly. Not suppose to be in forward when putting back together

Top IOS its a 2017 carbureted (not EFI)

spdracr1, she’s done a good job. No, not a good one. A spectacular one.
