[Rhodes22-list] Yamaha 8 hp motor source?

[Mary Lou Troy]

Don't know. Ours is a 2007. Even now they don't list the tiller 
remote for the 8. They were able to reuse our Honda controls and we 
were very happy with the location on the table pedestal. I'd rather 
not have the controls mounted on the sailboat tiller though I know a 
lot of people like them there. When we're sailing we can remove them 
and put them under the seat if we want. (We rarely do that but we 
often get them out of the way at anchor or in the slip.) The 8 was 2 
lbs less than the 9.9. We went for the 8. At 102 lbs every ounce counts.
