The Tohatsu was suppossedly the sleeper in the bunch.
There was an article I once saw on the Suzuki newssite that compared 5 or 6 portable 2 stroke kickers on a jonboat, I haven't been able to find that article since, but it did a nice job reviewing the 9.9's. ( especially with that vibration at the tiller- always bothered me with the Tohatsu at WOT, wasn't malfunctioning I hear that's normal for some portables) I've heard that the Yamaha is pretty quiet and does a great job of buffering vibrations from reaching the tiller handle. Does anyone have any personal info on these factors as well. But again that can happen to any outboard thats used under harsh conditions.There are other factors I think that go into choosing a good portable outboard such as amount of vibration at the tiller handle, amount of smoke, noise levels, fuel consumption to name a few. I am leaning towards the Mercury, it looks like reliability is not so much a concern but that water in the lower unit on that 1995 Mercury ( I think the design for this particular outboard hasn't changed for years), makes me a little worried. Thanks for all the replies guys great detail on your report forktail. I may be wrong.The multi-function tiller handle on the Merc is nice. A high-thrust prop is available for the Yamaha.Both are pre-mix with a 6 amp alternator.I think the Merc only has a 1 year warranty vs. Thus propped right, speed will be about the same. Prop for prop the Merc will be slightly faster because of the rpm, but the Yamaha should be able to pull a larger pitch prop. Doing the calculations both produce the same hp at the prop, but the Yamaha will produce slightly more torque. Not really a factor.The Yamaha does run 500 rpm slower, but it has a higher gear ratio at 2.08:1 compared to the Merc's 2.00:1. Not really a factor.There is only a small (16 cc) difference in engine size. The Merc is available in 15, 20, and 25".The Merc is 2.5 lbs lighter (15" shaft). Here's some points of interest:The Yamaha is only available in a 15" shaft.
