Not likely without bias. Buy whichever has the better dealer support.So they're that comparable are they? I would trust a Consumer Reports type of product evaluation; I'm curious if something has been done for Y or M.
I don't think the op cares what those that actually own the motors thinks unfortunately. First time poster and he wasn't looking for any of our advice. He just wanted a link to a consumer report type post (most likely to be bias anyway).So they're that comparable are they? I would trust a Consumer Reports type of product evaluation; I'm curious if something has been done for Y or M.
I think the quieter claim has been put the rest, the new generation Mercury is a much quieter outboard now then the Yamaha.and some say that Yamaha's are cheaper to maintain overall, quieter and more fuel efficient than Mercury.
So really unless there is a credible, reliable unbiased thorough testing it is just one person's experience against another - i.e. Fords are better than Chevy's. etc...
