I am looking for some information on replacing my 115 horse outboard jet. After last weekend I split a reed valve on my Evinrude, seem like every time I run it something needs fixing and I am working on it more than using it. OMC has filed chapter 11 and I,m not sure of the Mercury 115 because it is an inline, 4 cyl, 2 + 2 technology. I am considering Yamaha because it's a V4, which makes it a lower cowl, easy to fish over. Does anybody have any experience with Yamaha or other engines that might be better? Also, I understand there is a dealer in Canada that sells Yamahas cheaper than you can buy in the states. Has anyone bought one up there?

Thanks!
