Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | IF the dealer or person involved is willing to trade out a new Yammy for the Merc or for that matter a new Merc with the pwoer steering, then he can make the decision. As to other companies designing their own power tiller steering, that may be true, but it won't be the EngineSteer system; Honda doesn't have one on the docket, and I don't see any press releases from Bombardier yet. Suzuki is sticking with the hydraulic assist they have had for some time. Looks like Merc will have the best for awhile, at least. I can't imagine how one would improve on the EngineSteer, but I suppose it could be done.
No one should have 'trouble' using the Merc 90 HP 4 stroke either, but the power steering is pretty sweet.
You said it is YAMMY PERIOD. I disagree, so do a couple other folks.
And, I might mention to add to what you said, sure, no smartcraft or PS, and also....NO YAMAHA...unless he buys one. Door's open. |
