Hi guys.
I'm a bit stuck as to the age of my outboard and if it's a high thrust model...as I was told it was.

What I have is a yamaha 8hp long shaft. On plate. 8cm L 6NO 306113 w. Googled it. Only got it might be 98?

Came off a yaught.

Thanks heaps

Mike

A yamaha dealer will tell the model from those numbers very easily. I confirmed mine with Ovlov here in Auckland over the phone and they were very helpful.. I didn't know there was a high thrust 8hp but knew there was a high thrust prop for the 8hp..... has finer pitch and greater blade area for pushing at displacement speeds.
There are two types of people in the world: those that divide people into two types and those that don't.
