|
|
My 2008 C-Dory 25 has had issues with the 150hp Evinrude eTech. I would like to reposer my boat with twin 90Hp Honda's or Yamaha engines. Since most of my boating is done on Lake Superior, I would like the extra power, quieter engines, and the saftey of having two engines. What size shaft is required and any opinions about either engine.
Thanks. _________________ beek's |

Agree, use a local convenient dealer whenever possible.
This is our 13th trailer boat in 40 years of marriage, and we’ve never had engines as reliable as the twin Yamaha F150s. We’re going to repower with F150XSA with digital throttle and shift and electric steering (no more Sea Star leaking seals or liquid tie bar).
The repower process has improved dramatically since COVID! The new engines were delivered to our dealer six days after we paid for them…Yamahas for repower have taken months to no availability at all in past years. The dealer has a full complement of service techs for the first time since COVID.
Yamaha is currently running a free extended warranty (six years) until Dec, which saves us $3600. Good luck in deciding.

I love my honda but they are getting old in the tech side of the house and HEAVY. Honda 4 strokes have not really had a redesign since 2005. A few minor updates but nothing new. I am looking at a re power in the coming years and i will go with a mercury or a yamaha. The mercury in a 225 hp is 180lbs lighter then the honda. The yamaha is almost as heavy as a honda but has spot lock and drift lock in a single. Only motor that has that and it would be great for all the ling fishing I do. _________________ Thomas J Elliott

John, Keep us updated on your upgrade....
I didn't hear anymore about the Hontoon event. Is anything happening there?

My French kicked in, and I thought you were asking about sleeping space on your 25.
Je pense qu'il a beaucoup d'espace. |

Our CD-25 has a 200 HP Yamaha and a 9.9 Yamaha. We spend months on Lake Superior every summer and find this a perfect setup for us. We fish a lot and the 9.9 works great as a trolling motor and a get home motor. The 200 is used for cruising. For us it’s the perfect combination.
The St. John’s river here in Florida is still cresting. We will have the Hontoon gathering if the buildings do not flood out. I’ll know more next week.

I'll chime in and state that in this day and age, that many people are changing from smaller twins to a larger single. A single 200 and a kicker would likely be less money...at least similar money than 2 90s and the associated rigging. Let alone the extra service costs and so forth of the twin set up.
If I were in your situation I would be very seriously looking at a 200 HP Mercury. Great dealer support, great performance and overall just a fantastic package. You have options of DTS or mechanical controls and traditional, simple, reliable steering still. _________________ RJP
