Hi All,
First post on here, i am looking at repowering a couple of boats and have a local supplier supplying Selva Outboards,
I have one commercial boat and another pleasure, will need one of their continually rated XS models and have been looking at the XSR high output ones for the pleasure boat.
The range they have seems to be very extensive and from reading on their website the 15HP and up are re badged Yamaha current models.
The XS model which is rated for continual use as far as i can see is a de rated bigger engine with reduced HP and RPM,
The XSR is a tuned up version with higher torque and output
and then finally there is the normal 4 stroke range for leisure use
9.9 and under are a different engine and made directly by Selva and are all based around the same single cylinder 200cc engine, not sure on these but would probably be ok for light leisure use.
Selva also make Yanmar's stern drive legs, and the Selva company has been going for a long time so i am quite confident that they will be OK but just wanted to put it out there first.
Can any of you shed any light or opinions on these and the reliability of them, as they are just re badged Yamaha engines i cannot see an issue with the 15HP and up ones, but what about the 9.9 and under, safe enough to use as a stanby?
Look forward to your replies
