Seems like a good time to pile on like tim.
When the yamaha mercuries were making oil, that was passed off as ho hum, it is really ok, and you will get over it as soon as you drive it right. Bla, Bla, Bla.
Neither yamaha Nor mercury paid for that one.
Then there is the ongoing corrosion problems with certain years of yamahas.
Yamaha once had a good reputation?
