Are Yamaha Outboards Tough?

I previously abused this motor in another video so I decided to take it to the next level. Will it survive? Link to my previous video is listed below.

[@markdennis6914]

Yamaha outboard 2 strokes, the Enduro series, are well known in the Pacific Islands for their toughness. Many times we or a friend has dropped an engine overboard, sometimes in 100ft of water, took a couple of days to retrieve it, pump it full of 2stroke and it just fires back up. They are like the marine equivalent of Toyota's landcruiser. Simple tech is hard to beat, basic water-sealed electronics and simple tough design. I heard that even the actual aluminum that is used on the Enduro series is not the standard used in other Yamaha OBMs? Not sure if that's true.

[@The_Touring_Jedi]

This is a great example of why i swear by yamaha engines. Ive grown up fishing on a 15 foot flatsboat in rough northern water for striped bass and it has a 30 year old yamaha 70 on it. The same engine still runs as good as new to this day. There have been gaps where the motor has sat for a few years and yet she would still turn after only a few tries.
