Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | 'This is a 90 hp. tiller and I do plan on doing some trolling, so the question is this motor as good as the Yamaha as far as being smooth and quiet and dependable or should I stick to the Yamaha?'
Question answered, handle images aside. That answer would be yes on the smooth and quiet issues.
Another consideration; if the 90 HP Mercury is an 'older' model, there's a pretty good chance the powerhead is a Yammy anyway, they used to have a cooperative agreement.
And, unless I am reading this incorrectly, mercury will have exclusive rights to the Enginesteer system, so it may not be avaoilable with any other outboard.
Suzuki has a hydraulic assist handle for their 70 and 90 HP motors, which seems to work well. |
