C-Dory 25 Cruiser - Real World Engine Upgrade Options

Hi All, just to throw in my tuppence worth on engine manufacturers.
I work as a mechanic at a Murcury dealership, not surprisingly, I recommend Mercury, but seriously they are great engines & their warranty is fantastic & I've seen them honor it.
The old timer mechanic there, his second favorite engine is Suzuki. Third Yamaha (personally, I'd put Yams second).
We hate Honda, they're probably fine new, but when they get older they're junk.
If you're looking for Mercury sales or service on Vancouver Island, I highly recommend LA Marine, Port Alberni.
 
Hi Pond Life,

We contend that the ’best’ outboard engine seller is the reliable one closest to your home cruising area for service and support. There is no ‘new’ outboard engine technology to be explored. They are ALL excellent, or they went out of business long ago, or else ( ie Evinrude) had superior tech but still went out of business anyway (Bombardier had other priorities).

For the TC255, the Yamaha Helmsman EX F150 has integral electric steering for each engine instead of the SeaStar tie bar and seals plus many other features, including an all Yamaha autopilot option if you want it.

We love it! Any outboard engine you choose should be fantastic and serve you well for decades. Happy Choosing!

John
