In other words, 99% of these online rumours are garbage. Seems to make waaaay more sense that you'd build the product to sell, then send out a few early ones to video reviewers. Why would anyone do that? Why would anyone change the components or the build regime on what is already a limited edition product. Secondly, the the video 2600's were better than the model that was sold. Yamaha used the last letter of the model to designate year. Yamaha has been happy to help in this regard. Also, it's a lot of fun getting new gear constantly, being allowed to play with it fora few days or weeks, then post a video about your experience.

My point was just that they are two separate companies, the implication that the two could share any kind of strategy, much less management, is ridiculous. Also consider that Yamaha Motors generates around $15B per year in revenue, versus Yamaha's less than $4B (profits might tell a different story, of course).

Thanks for the info though, I didn't realise they were a separate entity.Yamaha owns about 9% of Yamaha Motors' shares - definitely a big source of revenue. Although you have a 2003 Model Sterndrive Engine it's the Serial Number that identifies which model of Fuel Cooler your Mercruiser Engine is equipped with.
