Yamaha 50HP 4Stroke

[Capt Joe]

I am about to upgrade from the above, but some 60 HP motors weigh 112 KG & the 70 HP weighs 163KG. So I can compare apples with apples: What does the Yamaha weigh???

Re: Yamaha 50HP 4Stroke

Hi,<br />Not sure what You are asking for but the Yamaha F50 4-stroke weight 108 kg.<br /> http://www.yamaha-motor.com/product...ear=2005&cat=Four+Stroke+Series&scat=Midrange <br /><br />If You are going to upgrade from that, Yamaha F50, outboard to a Yamaha F60 the weight is the same. The jump up to their F75 is much more weight, 168 kg.<br />If You want a light, modern technology, 70 hp 2-stroke however have a look at Evinrude E-tech 75 hp since the weight is only 138 kg.<br />The lightest 70 hk 4-stroke is probably Suzuki DF70/Johnson 70 4-stroke, about 160 kg.

Re: Yamaha 50HP 4Stroke

Thanks Bo, I am looking to go for a bigger motor, but am concerned about additional weight on the transom. The boat is an early Quintrex 6m Ocean/River & the 50hp with fin, needs to be trimmed under to lift the stern for "level' running. The Mercury 60hp looks good at 112 Kg.<br />I know it will still be slightly under powered, but I am looking at $3,000 for repairs to the Yamaha (10 yrs old), so have decided to upgrade now. Unfortunately, I live on an Army disability pension so don't have the funds to go to the 80 hp rating of the boat. <br />It's interesting to look at the site you suggested. You get a 3 year warranty, they only give us 2 years here.

Oops, Forgot to mention the Yamaha 50 4S is 10 years old. Anyone know how much it weighs?
