Just bought a used Yamaha 4 stroke, single cyl outboard and a used Avon 9' RIB with the idea that this package would be less weight, easier to haul and shorter on our stern davits for our canal trip this year. (Our usual dinghy is an 11' 4" Achilles with a 15hp Yamaha 2 stroke 2 cyl that we customarily tow).
Had the local Yamaha dealer service it and check it over before we launched and he said all was in good condition.
I thought that 4 strokes were supposed to be quieter and have less vibration than 2 strokes, but boy this little motor is loud and vibrates to beat the band.
Is this usual for these little motors?
