Yet with all of these improvements, there are some who still prefer the challenge of hunting with a smoke muzzle-loade- r single-sho- t belching, 1 In recent years, numerous repli- dS" V SN Remington has addressed some the problems that are inherent with traditional black powder rifles.

The idea of counter-rotatin- g propellers is not new. It's been used on aircraft for decades. Volvo came out with a stern drive for boats using the concept about a decade ago, and Mercury introduced one in the early '90s. But it is a first for an outboard motor, and industry observers feel there will be a market for it. In the race for better performance, Yamaha engineers became convinced the gearing, not the powerhead. was the place to find a w inner, said Robin Senger, Yamaha product manager.
