Re: Comparing new engines HP & Torque Dyno tests?
The new Evinrude brochure compares the hp curves and the torque curves of the 150 E-TEC and the F150 Yamaha.
These are dyno tested by ICOMIA standards used by every outboard manufacturer in the industry so they are accurate. Now you know where to find your Yamaha specs.
Very few other outboard companies have the guts to publish their dyno reports. The ones you see in the magazines or "dealer specs" are not accurate reports and are not performed on certified dynos like the manufacturers use.
Comparing a 150 with a 175 using a chart will not give you any meaningful information.
Just as a side note, I've been involved with a number of carbureted V6 repowers, such as your Oceanrunner, with Evinrude E-TECs of the same hp. Every owner reports using half the fuel, so much quieter, no smoke, and more power and performance.
