Hey Spares - Did Yamaha ever add oil injection on their commercial line of motors? I almost 100% sure they didn't at least up through 1998.

to be honest with you, I don't think I have every run across a comercial rated Yamaha. ALl the law enforcement around here run Salt Water Series. There may have been some non oil injected ones that were continuations of the Yamaha/Mariner engines, but I haven't seen one. People around here believe no fault in yamaha engines, if you ask most of them, they will tell they never break and you don't have to work on them. They get a bit nervious when I get the rosebud out to change a water pump. The japanese engines have better paint, but they corrode inside worse than the american motors.

What's the "rosebud"? :) just kidding . . . I have had to use Acetylene to remove some stubborn nuts. I imagine it would scare the Be-jesus out of some folks. I looked a couple of boats with either 115c or 130c commercial motors . . . I'm pretty sure they were 1996 engines and I was surprised (well not really) to here from the original owner that they didn't come with oil injection. I'm pretty sure OMC's line of commercial line of outboards didn't have oil injection either.

I learned the hard way about Yamaha lower units, there is a reason they are so much cheaper than Mercs. Any time you take anything apart on them, break out the red wrench
