Used Yamaha outboard motors are the most popular in Marina Sacra. There are two main reasons: the quality-price ratio of our used engines and the brand, because Yamaha’s experience and warranties are highly valued among experts.
Yamaha is probably the most successful brand for outboard motors. It is, in fact, the one that has been betting more years on this type of engines for both small and larger boats. This experience is highly appreciated by those who like to go sailing because it offers safety and guarantees.
The brand began to grow very early and one of the reasons for this was its wide range of engines, an advantage it has managed to maintain to this day. Whatever outboard motor you are looking for, Yamaha will have it and in this case you can find it at Marina Sacra, second hand and in the best condition, so if you are looking for second hand Yamaha outboard motors, you can find the best ones here.
Why the shaft you choose for your outboard motor is important
There are many factors you can consider when choosing between used Yamaha outboard motors. Of course the power is crucial, also the years of warranty, the price, the state in which it is, the kilometers traveled, the times of the engine… But before that, you must choose its axle.
A used Yamaha outboard motor can be either long or short shaft, commonly known as short tail or long tail motors. And why is it so relevant?
If you make a mistake and choose a motor with the wrong size shaft, sailing will not be efficient or you will simply not be able to sail at all. That is why it is very important that you know the main measurements of the long and short tail shafts and also that of your boat.
The outboard motor is located at the rear of the boat, specifically at the transom. And a part of it must be submerged in water.
If the outboard motor you choose is shorter than necessary, you will not be able to sail well, the motor will soon overheat and will not run efficiently and safely. And if the engine you choose has a longer shaft than necessary, it will be difficult to sail with stability and sailing will be much slower and more expensive.
Second hand Yamaha longtail outboards
Used Yamaha outboard motors can be either long-tail or short-tail. The first ones are used for small-medium or medium size boats, such as sailboats, but never for motorboats.
In addition, they are perfect for sailing in the sea but never for sailing in rivers because in certain places the ground could be close and the engine would be damaged.
An outboard motor is usually considered to be long-tailed when it exceeds 50 cm, although most of them exceed this measurement and reach 60 cm.
To find out if you need a long-tail motor, just measure the distance from the transom to the sea surface. And note that more than half of the shaft must be submerged.
Often, used Yamaha outboard motors with long tails are used for boats and small ships, which are vessels that require a lot of power and therefore it is common to use two or more outboards.
Second hand Yamaha short tail outboards
A used Yamaha short-tail outboard motor is perfect for boats, which also tend to have the stern considerably lower than the bow, so a very short shaft motor will suffice.
The advantage is that they are also less expensive and can have the same power.
To be considered a short-tail outboard motor, it must measure less than 50 cm. In fact, most of them do not exceed 40 cm.
