Those are great motors really simple to work on . Coils and cards

Did you see any 1987 baja 240 sports? That was my old boat

Yo i have twin yamaha saltwater series 2 electronic fuel injection 2 stroke and i saw a engine head for one

$150,000 for a 20 foot boat? I know where they came up with the old saying…. The two best days of boat ownership are, the day you buy it and the day you sell it.

May 8 2024 I need some help . I have a 1993 Yamaha 2 stroke 30 hp. 3 cylinder 3 carbs. It runs only with choke on when I push choke in it wants to die .

1:22 in the middle there is the intake manifold...not the exhaust. :)

Все правы - это рай для самостройщика! Я бы мог твм жить.

Thanks for all the vids man. I just bought a 2003 key west with a 2003 Yamaha 90 2 stroke motor and your vids have come in very useful. I’m in the process of doing all your steps in how to keep your motor functioning. It’s a huge help. Thank you. Saving me big money!!!!!!!

Still running a Mercury 200 EFI 2.5

Although our family boat has a fantastic Yamaha 90 4 stroke, I’ve got a herd of old two strokes kicking around between 2 and 20 hp, including the 1978 Merc 7.5 my dad taught me to run when I was a kid. So many great memories!

2 stroke Evinrude 90

I started life in poverty. I am now in extreme abundance. Maintaining my own vehicles has been an essential key to get there. I have not made a car payment in decades… and have been using that for investments. I am now almost a millionaire (not counting my home because then I am)… and have a large homestead that is running tip top. So is my boat.

I’m curious if they say any 2 stroke, if you buy a siezed up or a broken 2 stroke for cheap on FB marketplace, will they still give you a good discount for a new 4 stroke?

90 Mercury 2 stroke from 2000 still running like a champ

even tbough i could probably afford these boats, i refuse to do so! they will depreciate so much after year 2...

Great video, straight to the point,great how to information. Thank You!

I have a 150 Opti and I want to know where the negative wire from the battery connects to on the outboard?

I'm watching this and I don't even own a boat 😂

Mercury marine's greed killed the 2 stroke. and I mean PERIOD.

My boats cursing speed is dictated by how rough the water is :). Hard to get the best if your having to constantly adjust throttle to avoid getting smacked by big waves.

I run an '98 Whaler Dauntless with a 115 hp Yamaha primary and 15 hp kicker. I put in a 320 liter tank and fish 100 miles offshore. Proped right, with three on board and the load distributed properly it walks through 5 foot seas no problem at 18 knots. And it's dryer than most larger boats. It's cheap to operate and goes where the 30 to 40 foot multi engines go but uses 1 liter per ¾ mile. For me small boats with single engines have their advantages. Probably go multi engines on boats over 24 feet though.

Now you have to clean up all that paint before you gel coat cuz you didn't tape off the floor or do any prep work You guys are really winging it huh?

That's supposed to be a high volume low pressure sprayer. Got that thing on 80 lb

Thanks for a how to destroy a boat video

Make a PAN PAN call on channel 16 if no one stops.

I got a Suzuki DT85 on my 74 Galstron a another DT85 in my shop that is practically brand new just in case the one on the boat craps out.

I have a ‘99 OX66 150 and the service manual shows several anodes under the cylinder head. Have you ever had the remove a head a replace those anodes?

The anchor is only a part of this system, and the other is the chain. Don't go cheap on the chain and buy a decent amount. The anchor digs into the ground but the chain delivers friction towards the ground and thereby holds the boat. One would be surprised about how small a anchor one can get away with but again..don't go cheap and buy a crappy little one for a large boat.

How do you get the flush kit you used?

thanks for the video.. your engine isn't like mine, but it's very similar, so It helped anyway. I guess your mercury is a little bit newer than mine.

Very clear , great video Thank you

rebuilt the raw water pump on merc R drive and appear to have low flow? Drill motor attached to drive shaft on the lower at 500 rpm and water only come out about 3-4" above the water feed tube. suggestions?

Rich people problems.

I’ve had mine deleted on my 2004 90 Yamaha for years and it’s been doing great. I never worry when I’m on the water. Plus I can take the cowling fill cap off and have an instant cold air intake HA!

Know how to really make a 2 stroke live forever? Go old and I mean ooooold and make it a Mercury. My boat has a 1969 Mercury 65hp 4 cylinder Merc 650. Simplicity at its finest, not the fastest Mercury by a long shot but it gets my 1960 Glasspar Citation up on plane instantly and going 34mph with no complaints ever. Always starts just loves to run.

Great explanation for a beginner like myself. Thanks!

Yo save you the time of watching, just remember don’t run aground

I had a problem it stopped peeing at idle but was fine reverb up a bit. It seems to be putting a lot of air in the water. I worked hard at doing it exactly right. Not sure what is going on..?

One more trick to add to the video. If the drive shaft is stuck in the crank . . . Loosen all bolts (but don’t remove them) put the boat in the water and shift the engine forward and then reverse 25 times. The lower will usually drop.

Could you make a video showing where to add another grease fitting in the steering tube or how to remove and replace steering tube bushings? Thanks.

Bought a fixer upper 1 year ago with 2003 Johnson 115. Took out the oil system and pre mix oil and fuel. Runs and smokes great.

My etec gets 3mpg no four stroke is getting that.

You ABSOLUTELY LIE. My Evinrude G2 200 H.O burns cleaner than any 4stroke PROVEN…and it burns the oil completely in combustion with precision injection and mix ratio of 14:1 that is constantly being adjusted by demand (throttle position) and metered/adjusted, over 5000 per second. In other words it is perfectly mixed and combusted no matter what rpm or load the motor is at. It’s the ONLY two stroke allowed on Lake Tahoe, and any waters in Europe. It’s been tested and proven a cleaner exhaust than 4 strokes, and it uses oil in the combustion and 4 strokes don’t. Plus it’s more powerful for the same HP rating than 4 strokes, not to mention better mpg. Proven as well. When you open your mouth, know the facts. Research something besides your biases. I did before I ever bought mine.

Great vid; thank you.

1999 Yamaha 75 2 Stroke on a 18ft Alumacraft. Still running strong.

Part 2?

Great video keep the 2 stroke Yamaha content coming! New subscriber

i bought a used 20hp mercury 4 stroke Crestliner aluminum bass boat for local lake that has 20 hp limit this model did not have all the gauges like speed fuel and rpm but they do make same boat and model with gauges is there an easy way to add a tachometer or speedometer to the boat i tried small electronic tach and it sucked it was not accurate and said to calibrate it with another tachometer

I have a little weed eater outboard on my canoe. It's lighter than a 4 stroke, and I've customized mine into a monster, and It's hella easy to work on. I have a feeling it's all about money, like the economy makes more money on 4 strokes.

A ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
