The Advancement in 4-Stroke Motors
As technology keeps advancing in the fishing industry the one thing that can't be denied is the move to 4-stroke motors. The change from 2-stroke to 4-stroke technology in the last twelve months has taken giant leaps forward. No longer do you have to worry about purchasing 30 dollar gallon 2-stroke motor oil. No more worries about will your motor quit oiling for some unforeseen reason, the new advanced Yamaha 4-stoke Sho Motor has changed all that.
The bass fishing industry along with the obsession for boat motor performance has changed and your avid fisherman can now get equal if not better performance from a 4-stroke motor. In fact I am almost convinced that the Yamaha Sho is out-performing its own 2-stroke technology, namely the Yamaha HPDI 2-stroke motor. The hole shot is better, the top end is comparable, and the reliability is the best I've seen in my opinion.
Not only are you getting performance but you can run down the river and talk with your partner almost as if you're sitting in an in-board motor. This motor is so quiet that the wind noise is higher than the motor noise. That right, the noisiest part of a run down the river is the whistling of the wind going over your head, or the 2-stroke boat crossing you're path as they go by you.
For those that doubt how this could be, because the 4-stoke motor has always had a problem with the weight being much heavier than the 2-stroke motor, well Yamaha has fixed that also. The Yamaha 4-stroke Sho is actually lighter than it comparable 2-stroke by as much as 35 lbs. The weight factor is just unbelievable; you are actually carrying less weight than ever on your boat. Coupled with this advanced technology, my last year experience with the Yamaha Sho was completely without issue. I broke it in, changed the oil in the motor at 20 hours and it ran and performed with every other Yamaha I have owned. Four stroke technologies is here to stay, and it will take over the 2 stroke market as we move forward and continue to advance marine motor technology.
