As the title says , anyone any experience with these engines?
Seller suggesting it's a Yamaha clone.
Almost looks new.
It is propeller not jet drive.

Presumably if its a clone then its a Chinese clone which Id avoid like the plague
Id rather have a 10 or 15yo Yamaha than a chinese clone

If its 2 stroke it cant legally be sold in the uk either

If you Google Jetmarine outboards you don't find a makers website, instruction or service manuals, people who have them saying how great they are... just folks saying they've been offered one and are they any good.

Chinese copies with no info, reputation or backup.

BTW I remember checking them out for someone years ago to find the UK importer/dealer premises were just a house on an estate in North Cornwall.

Looks very alike to the 15 Parsum's motor brand with a different logo...

Here's the link to it if anyone wants a look for comparison to anything. But after asking a few questions about it the guy is being a bit vague, it's also a long shaft anyway.
