parsun outboard

[trev1]

The chinese have been makining these things (outboards and cars, ect) a lot longer than we know. Russia is loaded with them.We havent known about them mainly because we aren't a "traditional" market for these people, we are a "speculative" market for a lot of these goods that they are only recently testing the water with. If you look seriously into the origin of lots of your goods, it is very hard to buy "Japanese" any more. Your indonesian made Hilux, Spanish made Navara, Indonesian made Triton, ect are all wearing supposed Japanese badges.

A lot of people forget the looks you used to get turning up at the boatramp with anything other than an American outboard on a Quintrex towed by a Holden/Ford.

You'll always hear the bad before the good about something, and you can manipulate any statistics you want to put across the message you want (the government do it all the time)

How long have you had the motor?

At least 2 years maybe 3
Ive also got a 2.5 hp one I use on my tender it runs well too.

Hello Ausfishers
Sorry for the slow reply I forgot to keep up on this thread.
Ok here you go Gazza here is some pictures of the parsun next to a LATE model yammy. See if you can pick the differences.

Chaspion1. You are completely correct about patients these days. These manufactures know the rules and how to get around them. I bet you'll never see a parsun being sold in japan.
Shawn 66. I'll bet the Yammay dealers aren't informing thier customers they are using Parsun parts. I'm sure they would have been doing this for years with after market parts like sierra parts. There's no problem with using sierra or parsun parts they are excellent quality but the fair thing to do for the customer would be passing the savings onto them.
I have some more pictures if anyone wants to see them. Maybe I can run a little competition on spot the difference for a couple of stubby holders.
Let me know readers if you would like me to do that?

Garry would the transome clamps be the same as the yammy ones aswell?

[LittleSkipper]

Ah well!...better late than never! looks like a rather neat, compact little outboard.

[mr_boats]

Hi tricks onefishing sorry for the slow reply. I dont get much time to jump on here.
Yes the clamps would fit. We have them complete which means the clamp bracket with the clamp screw, screw handle and cup for $59- But its painted black =)

Hey mr boats, when are we going to see bigger HP 4 stroke parsun's? If they are so close to Yamaha then it shouldn't be too hard to get the bigger sizes made.

[mr_boats]

Hi Ozynorts
Thanks for your question. The larger 4-strokes are a far way off, but the wheels are turning.
I dont think they are going to copy a yammy my guess is the 60hp Suzk....

[ozynorts]

I was looking more in the 115 to 140hp range.

[hino310]

Hey Mr boats

I have heard that the 75/90 hp Parsun is on its way to Australia. Is this true ?

Cheers Hino.

[mr_boats]

Hi Hino

Yes that is true. I've been waiting since August but I do have some samples (90hp) landing shortly for me to put through there tests. Then once I'm happy we'll release them in.
Australia. We test each new model ourselves before releasing them.
Ozynorts. They'll start with the 60hp 4-stroke and work there way up from there. But it'll be around 2 years before we see them.

Now that the 60, 75 and 90 horse 2 stroke Parsons are here I'm curious about the price. Are these larger motors still roughly 30% cheaper than their competition (as with the smaller 2 strokes) or has the price difference shrunk?
