The choice of an outboard motor boat
30 years ago, has dominated the U.S. producers as market.Names Mercury outboard, Johnson, Evinrude and Chrysler produce led the field of competition between them for outboard engines bigger and better. But if this is the abandonment was the smallest of outboard motors. These are the outboard engines sold in large quantities and are often the first purchase of outboard many of us. So many of us for the same brand (brand loyalty), asNow, another great board in recent years. The Japanese took it, and then concentrate Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Tohatsu outboard small began to take over as market leader. They achieved this by improving energy efficiency and reliability. It adds functionality to find those small outboard so far only in larger engines.
Having little success in foreign markets, the Japanese brand expands the power range. Againdominate the market for outboard engines, at least up to 20 HP. American manufacturers instead of competing with the Japanese surrendered and decided to buy engines from the Japanese and the shield as their own. Now the Chinese have entered the market. In essence, do what the Japanese did before, copy the best features of the engines, while controlling costs.
Then we compare outboard motors are designed for people with outboard motor for yourAssistant. If we take a larger boat on a Pioneer 12, so that any outboard motor at a relatively high weight should move in water. So if the outboard motor as follows:
Mercury 2.5 HP 3.5HP Mercury, Mariner 2.5hp, Tohatsu 3.5HP, 2.5hp Yamaha, Suzuki 2.5hp, 2.3hp Honda 2.6hp Parsun. All these engines are 4-stroke outboard engines. This is a European directive that prevents the sale of outboard motors from 2 years in the EU, which will provide a wide rangeengines on the market to drive the boats.
To evaluate an engine than many other tests were performed. A test of tensile strength showed that mercury and Tohatsu 3.5HP 3.5HP were powerful are almost identical) to 90 of the thrust (both engines with £ Mariner. The least effective was the Honda 2.3hp with 66 pounds thrust. Among Suzuki 2.5hp with 83 pounds of thrust, the 2.5 hp to 78 pounds of thrust to 70 and 2.6hp Yamaha Parsunpounds of thrust.
Next test was the fuel consumption. In any speed - 5.75 knots were the best outboard Yamaha and Suzuki 2.5hp 2.5hp at least 20%. The worst was the 2.6hp Parsun. When the butterflies were eased and the boat cruise was to compare the fuel consumption was less pronounced, only 10% difference. All these figures are for 4-stroke engines. However, according to previously recorded data for 2-stroke engine, in similar circumstances, the engines were aged less than 50%Fuel consumption at full speed. Thirsty! Remember, 2-stroke engines are still available second hand.
Then the weight of each board was compared. Four-stroke engines are heavier than those of more than 2 times because of the engine head, etc., Mercury, Mariner, Tohatsu, Yamaha and all Parsun weigh 38-41 pounds (18 kg) .. However, with a weight of Honda and Suzuki 2.3hp 2.5hp long (12.5 kg.) Less than 28 pounds.
The price of each board was compared. This wasdifficult, including discounts and offers are always evolving.
Mercury 3.5HP £ 449
Mercury 2.5hp £ 380
Mariner 2.5hp £ 429
Tohatsu 3.5HP £ 449
Yamaha 2.5hp £ 489
Suzuki 2.5hp £ 379
Honda 2.3hp £ 429
Parsun 2.6hp £ 375
Although Parsun was the cheapest and is almost identical with the same engine as the Yamaha 2.5hp, so good. It 's a bit like me after a Gordon RamsayRecipe of the letter, but the team compared side by side, we only know that it will be much better. The Chinese are able to copy the Japanese did before them, but they have no right, no!
Finally, some outboard of each test. Mercury, Mariner and Tohatsu are the engine itself. Because the configuration of the butterfly are easy to understand with the gas pedal and the stop button clearly marked. Petrol / off is not marked as obvious. All of theseMotors. neutral, then rotate 360 degrees to get a head start to grow again. There are 4 reclining positions and a capacity of shallow water. The oil level can be easily checked to see your screen on the side of the engine cover.
2.5hp Yamaha was easy to understand, but can start and stop the oil level was to cover out of sight under the hood. How Mercury 2.5 HP Yamaha outboard gear and the first 360-degree rotation neutral.Unlike Mercury, which has a safety pin, the Yamaha has a propeller hub of rubber, so no safety pin to break.
Suzuki 2.5 HP is as above, but with the rod, a little 'high. The propeller has a safety pin spare in the boot.
Honda 2.3hp unlike any other water cooled outboard test. E 'air-cooled and has no gears. Instead, it uses a centrifugal clutch. This makes it harder to start and that the maneuverothers. It just takes a little 'getting used to it. The oil of the package is out of sight under the bridge. The propeller was a safety pin spare parts under the hood.
Finally Parsun 2.6hp, 2.5hp Yamaha back, but not so good. But it is the cheapest in the engine is in perfect condition. Fuel consumption has been his biggest setback.
