Similar to the Mercury 60hp – its main rival in this class – the Yamaha F60A has an eight-valve SOHC in-line four-cylinder engine with a long piston stroke to provide excellent low-end power and torque.
But if you’re re-powering or looking to power a new boat, which one do you choose?
Older style, carby two-stroke outboard engines were phased out in 2019 due to tightening emissions standards, but clean-burning direct-injection two-stroke outboard engines did meet the new standards and could continue to be sold.
As with all Yamaha outboard engines, the F60 is brimming with features. They include a five stage anti-corrosion paint system, variable trolling control to change the idle speed in 50rpm increments, a compact one-piece cowling, freshwater flushing system, 16-amp alternator, malfunction warning alerts, easy-access oil dipstick and spin-on oil filters, and more.
Key features of the BF60 include Honda's lean burn control technology (ECOmo), multi-port programmed fuel injection, a 22-amp alternator for running onboard electrics, variable idle (in 50rpm increments) for low speed trolling, trim-limit switch, NMEA 2000 compatibility, and alerts for most engine issues. more
There is a choice of longshaft (20-inch) and extra-longshaft (25-inch) shaft lengths, and the outboard engines come with a five-year warranty.
The plug was for a oxygen analyser that was never put in. Suzuki changed the engine holder in 08 but have known about the issue since 02 but have not done anything about it or even told dealers, customers - no-one.
Gents if you own a Suzuki 4 stroke DF 90-115-140 from 2001-2007 there is a galvanic corrosion issue that will cause a lot of damage if it hasn't already. The engine holder has a carbon steel plug in the exhaust port, this plug is corroding from the inside out and will eventually blow out.
I'm not going into how I found this out but do a search on google for suzuki engine holder problem, suzuki corrosion problem and you come up with;
