Yamalube? a Must?

[SimonCh]

Hey folks, just bought myself my first boat - a 5.4M Tornado with a Yamaha 90 on the back. Is it essential to use Yamalube? or is will any 2 stroke oil suffice? Im not fussed if i have to use it, just wondering!

Look forward to hours of ribbing fun - was up from Lochaline, along the Sound of Mull, to Tobermory at the weekend - great stuff!

Cheers guys

Hello Simon - Welcome, I cant answer your question but just thought i'd say "hello from sunny Aberdeen"!!!!

There's not many of us on here from the north east, nearly enough for a posse now.

What Rig are you on Simon?

Yamalube isn't required. Any correctly spec'd 2-stroke oil will be fine.

Which for any outboard is TC-W3 certified (nearly all are, but be wary of some aftermarket ones which claim to exceed the specifications but don't actually have the badge to prove it - its a little hologram shown on the bottle) Best of luck with the new boat too!

RIBnet isn't full of tw@ts, in fact, we have room for a few more...

Well I have a small 3.8M orange/red boat. Could easily give you a tow about sometime but I dont think we'd have much pace.
