F80, 90, 100 ok for trolling?

[jhnboat]

Seems like I heard that Yamaha was recommending that these motors<br />not be used for extended slow speed trolling. Can't remember where<br />or who said it or what the problem was. <br /><br />Does this make sense to anyone or should these motors be as<br />good as any for trolling?

The only problem I know of is the oil injectors not supplying enough oil mix, or overheating. A good temp guage should help. The other problem is that they may not troll very slow.

Are you talking about the Yamaha 4-stroke or 2-stroke? I have Yamaha 4-stroke 100-HP and I am doing a lot of trolling. It works very well on trolling and the cost of fuel was half of my 2-stroke engine. <br />Hoa
