[Rhodes22-list] Yamaha 8 hp motor source?

[KUHN, LELAND]

My 9.9 Merc has electric and manual start.  To access the fly wheel so
you can wrap a pull cord around it, all you need to do is remove the
cover.  The latch is on the back of the motor, so be careful when you
climb outside the stern rail to reach it.  Then you simply use a ratchet
set to remove the 8 bolts that secure the steel plate that houses the
flywheel.  If the chop is more than 3 feet, you might want to tie
yourself to something like a lineman does on a utility pole.

Don't forget to buy your flywheel pull cord.  It doesn't come with your
motor.

  The Tohatsu  8  comes with Electric and Manual start so if the battery
is deed you don't have to row . BTW I'm not sure how hard it is to start
Manual Just push the button and it comes  life.
I know what you are saying about the gear shift on the Yamaha it is
slick. One thing I have found on the Rhodes  page was  a Power Tiller
that you may want to look at .  It can be mounted on your Tiller and it
hooks up to just about any Out Board Engine. .

Bill,

Actually I was trying to get  Bill McCready's attention - apparently he
recently got or is getting a Yamaha 8.  But, thanks for the encouraging
report on 8 hp being "enough".  We do make it to Toledo now and again;
my
Admiral's sister lives in Sylvania, NW of Toledo, darn near in Michigan
actually.  I'll be sure to get in touch next time we're headed that way.
I
also looked at the Tohatsu 8 and 9.9 outboards.  They are quite a bit
less
expensive even with the electric start, but the set up on the Yamaha 8
hp is
a strong selling point.  Yamaha has the gearshift located right behind
the
twist grip throttle on the tiller and Stan says the tiller is pretty
long so
the controls fall easily to hand.  I know what you mean about electric
start, but the Admiral really doesn't like pull start outboards.  And I
do
want her to be able to start it without me, just in case.

Mike C.
