Re: New generation of 4-stroke
Some of what I am about to say is anecdotal so take it with a grain of salt. I have read some really good feedback reports on these engines. Of particular note to me, owners are reporting they have more power and top end speed than the YamaMerc hybrids they replaced. I would personally purchase one in a skinny minute if I was in need of a repower.
I have read a few reports indicating a recall on certain starter motors on the 115's. You really ought to research this further though before taking my word for gospel on these purported starter failures. Sometimes, its hard to separate "The wheat from the chaff" on anonomous interent forums.
