Location: Sandusky, OH | It was in 04 or 05, so whenever the Brunswick/Yamaha relationship ended because of the anti-dumping suit would determine which head it was. I glanced at a summary on walleyecentral, and they didn't have a Yamaha in the test. The John-zuki took top honors, followed by the Etec. The Mercury 90 had the best top end, but was the loudest, slowest out of the hole, and had the worst fuel economy tested (not sure if it was EFI or carbed). They also tested the Honda (quietest) and the Tohatsu (best fuel economy, but I don't understand why they tested it but not a Yamaha). The Yamaha is a glaring ommission; wonder if it is due to the Mercury sponsorship of the magazine. Anyway, the 90 Johnson-Suzuki was the overall best finisher in all catagories measured.
More data for TomP to assimilate.
