Just thinking about a motor for the Storm15, and glancing through a yamaha user manual on the web, it says not to use copper based anti fouling or the engine will rapidly corrode. Not a problem for me but should be investigated.

Interesting thought. I have got Coppercoat antifouling. Haven\\\'t noticed any significant corrosion on my Tohatsu outboard, which is into its third season now. The only problem found when I had it serviced over the winter was that the water pump was worn out from all the Poole harbour mud that inevitably gets pumped through it. Plus salt in teh cooling system despite fresh water flushing at the end of the season.

Perhaps the problem relates to direct application of copper-based antifouling to the engine itself. There is no mention of it in my Suzuki manual and I was unable to find much reference to it on the interweb generally.
