Hello Gilbert,
I have the 2.5 Yamaha 4S and so far so good. It starts up
on the first pull and runs a long time on a tank of gas. The one draw
back to the F6 might be the weight. The catalog says 81 lbs. It's a two
cylinder job, so no doubt a smooth running machine.
Sorry about your motor loss. My commuter bike, which was a riden daily,
was stolen outof my car last year
so I know a little how you feel.
Regards,
Randy W.

Man all this talk of motors. I have a 4 hp mariner that I have had since
my
22' pearson. I bought it used 5years ago and have done the regular
maintenance, I have stripped it and put it back together and was totally
comfortable w/ its operations. A couple of weeks ago I was preparing for
a
haul-out and put the motor on a stand in my backyard. Well I'll be
darned if
some lowlife SOB stole both my Mariner and a new (to me) johnson 6
seahorse
that I had been salivating to try on my M17, from my backyard. I am
still
livid this has caused a domino effect since I no longer have a motor, I
am
stalled on my haul-out and I watch longinly at the other boats in the
water.
Just makes me mad to think of the time, effort, and money you put into
something just to have another subhuman take advantage. Pant, pant......
there I vented................So go out and buy transom locks ( had one)
and
use them!! I got lazy and paid the price...
PS
Since I am now in need of a new(to me) motor I have been following the
threads on 4-stroke and read the comparison on the MSOG site pretty
informative. I had called some of the local dealers and found a brand
new
yamah BF6 2003 model for a little over $1k that seemed pretty
inexpensive
compared to the Hondas has anyone tried one of these?
