I read that they’d have a 110v lead. Do you know if that’s true?

and the reliability reputation of Yami vs Merc is still a wide margin.
Always amazed at the bs thrown out here.

The only way I could think it could happen would be a diesel generator to power them. Large boats have had electric propulsion for years, I don't know how scalable it is for smaller boats.

Will the Merc have 5 fuel filters like the Yammy?
What is your estimation on how long it will take for Merc to capture Yammys market share?
Any word on new offerings from Yammy?

Not at all. You can't build small enough gensets to fit, there's just not enough bilge space

I wasn’t a huge mercury fan prior to the new V8 300s. Been in several boats with sensor and whatnot issues on the older supercharged verados.
Now with trip 300 V8s, and those things are AWESOME.

I am doubling down on it being an electric (or hybrid) type outboard. Yes I understand the weight, battery issues, etc.
I expect in the next year or two California is going to announce that in order for an outboard to be sold in their state they must have plans to have electric options by year ???? This would be similar with what they did for vehicles. PR says "The Most Innovative Outboard in Mercury Marine History".

Looking like 600hp is the real deal. And power head remains fixed. Only lower turns.
Posted on 2/10/21 at 9:49 pm to CP3
Seen the weight anywhere?
Posted on 2/10/21 at 9:52 pm to TimeOutdoors
Nah but hull truth rumors are saying like 1000-1200lb
Posted on 2/10/21 at 10:05 pm to CP3
Good God. How the frick does the steering work? Is it a smaller hydraulic system?

He kicked me off of there because I was correcting his completely wrong information on the new V6s and V8s. I was in a Mercury class (continuing education) a few years ago with him after hearing from several customers about how he was the best Mercury tech ever. I certainly didn’t come away from that class thinking that. I’m not perfect, but I have only been doing this for now more than half my life (over 18 of my 36 years) and he had a hard time grasping some very basic SmartCraft, CAN and Verado technology. I’m not sure how he attained master tech status unless he completed it before 2003.
With that said, I know Mercury’s stance is not to use them as engine batteries but there are plenty of pro fishermen who are using them successfully on V8s. When we repower boats with them, we use the recommended AGM batteries. In our situation, it’s better to stick by the book. I do know of a 300R and 450R with lithium cranking batteries and no problems. Those engines are using different alternators (85 amps and 115 amps). At the end of the day it’s your choice and if there’s a problem, it’s up to your dealer to report back to Mercury what the problem is and what the installation consists of.

Thanks. I've been really close to sending Al a PM about the way the guy moderates. I post on many, many boards, and he's the worst mod I have ever experienced.

that thing looks like a big brick back there!

Interesting concept. I like it. I'd like to pull one apart and see how they handled the exhaust jacket.

How do you keep water out?
