Its hard to say whats what until you actually run a 620 with a 115 that doesnt have PS. I can run it fine with the tension bar loose in 0-2 foot waves.After that I have to tighten it up a little bit. If I were to get the PS installed on my current motor it would pretty much only benefit me while Im trolling. I spend so little time actually plained out. Maybe 10-20 minutes total in a 12 hour day.

Whats your basis for that, Shep? Ive ran both motors and I wouldnt run a merc if someone gave me one for free. My yamahas have always started within a split second no matter what the temp was. Sit at the boat launch for a half hour and see who has problems starting there motors. It will never be a yamaha. Or call 20 outboard mechanics (not dealers) across the mid west and ask what 4 stroke motor they work on least. I did that before I bought my boat this year.yamaha was the second least worked on motor (Honda was first) I honestly didnt ask what motor they work on most. I asked what motor they would get if buying new and mercury wasnt mentioned. E tech was at the top with honda and yamaha. although this in know way says anything for ceartain, it does say a lot. Sometimes its not who does it first, but who does it best.[/QUOTE]

And the reason, Merckid, why theres no tillers rated for 125s is because they dont make 125s anymore..Kinda stupid to rate a new 620T with a motor size thats not even manufactured. My 620 is a 2003. My buddy has a 04 or 05 that is also rated for a 125 without the PS.
