I have a Yamaha, long shaft, 6hp outboard.
During my visits to Yampower and Mitchels Outboards I discovered that Yamaha produced two products from the one production line….. an 8hp and a detuned unit of 6hp.
So my question is how was the detune achieved?
The reason I ask is that when on the dinghy and under load it doesn’t appear to rev to its maximum and therefore achieve the plane (it’s good to have fun in a dinghy).
A neighbour of mine suggested that it could be something as simple as a throttle-stop, but I still have to investigate this one.
