This is my sixth Yamaha. Good luck with your choice and a fantastic fishing experience.

Well, the title says it all. The big trouble with this engine is the jets are thin like a human hair. And if anything gets in them; they won't run right. That includes varnished fuel. You can imagine my surprise when the motor would not start the second spring of use. And I was low on gas on my main tank! And I ran all the fuel out in the fall! The solution is to only use pristine fuel, high octane is good, non-ethylene is best, then never dry run the engine. Keep fuel in it and always make sure to run the engine every 6 months, 4 preferred.

For a four stroke the fuel efficiency is poor and motor is loud with the Yamaha 2.5 HP four stroke outboard engine. There should be a better oil level indicator. Starts easy.
Instruction labels for operation and storage well marked.
Gas shut off and tank valve work well.
Low fumes and emissions.
Low vibration.
This engine is quite heavy and noisy as its a real gas guzzler
