Hello, I would like to get a new outboard motor to work on minimum throttle.Until recently I used a yamaha malta 3hp and it worked realy great. Which of the new motors would push the boat at the same speed on minimum throttle? Should I look at mercury 2.5 or could I also take the 3.5, possibly the 4, which would suit me best since it has a reverse but I'm afraid it doesn't have too much minimum,idle gas?The boat weighs 550 kg if there is additional cargo and more.It is used on the river.Thanks...
Does the gear ratio affect the operation at minimum gas?
In that range up to 6hp
Gear ratio
Suzuki1.92:1
Tohatsu, mercury 2.15:1
Honda, Yamaha 2.08:1
