So I finally made the decision and purchased a Zodiac Cadet 270 and now looking for a motor to push it.
I am looking at a Yamaha 2.5 hp since we have a local dealer. My question is there much of a difference in power between the Yamaha 2.5 and the mercury 2.5. Would there also be any durability preference between these to brands. I have heard very good things about Yamaha engine. I can get the mercury 3.5 hp for the same price as the Yamaha 2.5 hp.
Does anybody have and experience with these engines ? I have heard that all of these small engines are made by the same company anyway. Can anybody speak to the truth of this ?
