what are the best production 3 cyl engines

[Tomanytoys]

Christ on a bike I am going to buy you a Force dildo for Christmas

....you just made scotch come out my nose......

[Capt.Insane-o]

Those motors are obsolete, gearcases, ignition, mid section and trim suck balls, absoloutley zero prop selection and they are heavy. But whatever.

[FMP]

Not much truthful in that

[Capt.Insane-o]

Moral of the story, stick to the OMC or Yammers.

....or a combination thereof....
Yamaha clamp / swivel with internal trim, 15” OMC can, Nitro case and SST 60 powerhead makes a nice package.

Was thinking of doing these mods to a 86 70 johnson.

[sharpeye Mike]

86, 87 and some 88s have the right spline to mate to the nitro shaft.
All you'll need is the base plate of the 56s. It will bolt up nicely except for drilling out the mid, one size bigger to except the power head bolts

3 cyl 90 hp Tohatsu is very nice, too.<object id="__symantecPKIClientMessenger" data-supports-flavor-configuration="true" data-extension-version="1.0.1" style="display: none;"></object>__PRESENT

49 cu. in. is hard to beat. Well designed, durable. Enlarge and square the ports and shave head to get 190 to 200 compression. Big boost without issues.

[Chaz]

You guys sure Yamaha didn't make a bad-azz lil 15" mid … I could have sworn I seen one the other day ..


Power / Markus , The Japanese are a very traditional people .. call them by their full name ..

(トーハツ株式会社, Tōhatsu Kabushiki-gaisha)+OMC-BRP

No wonder you like them .. they built trains ( like BRP) and half the BRP outboards for the last decade .. and set up shop with them more than thirty years ago ..

Chaz = thinkin, I would mention Force .. But I don't want to get a FuPM present in the mail ... _{^{<strike>

Don't know, never been inside one, all I know is that the offshore racers liked it almost as well as the 90 hp Yamaha.

It does have 3 piston rings:

Yam 70 CES used in the T850 class
( for sure they copied the OMC 75, 15" small gearbox, tall gears)

[gotboostedvr6]

I had a Suzuki 65hp 15" that was pretty strong.

[JrCRXHF]

I kinda like the omc triple the parts are cheap they seem to run really well. I have 2 49's and 1 56ci in the garage right now.
