    Right here running a pair of 98 Yamaha Salt Water Serie II 250hp's. Best engines ever had and will have. I have a pair of freshly rebuilt power heads just sitting here waiting to be installed when the ones that are on need to be rebuild. Its just a matter of pulling off the old and throwing on the new. That way my boat is always ready to go. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌.

    @robertp7209 Před 3 lety +14

    I have the same twin counter rotating 200 hpdi engines since new, 2006, on a 92 Grady Sailfish. Run great never had an issue. You didn’t do the filter in the VST tank, every year I do that one, the metal can filter you did in the video, I do every 2nd year. Just did the pump belt, but the old ones were fine. Also, the O2 sensor and its housing needs to be cleaned but I go several years before doing them. Plugs change every second year. Trim seals done this year. Lower unit fluid condition check every year, change it 2nd year.

Thanks for the video you made regarding replacing the installed fuel tank. I replace the tank in the G-W last summer . Your video convince me I could do it myself!

    Have an 88 Wellcraft V20 with a 2010 Evinrude 175 with almost 1,800 hours on it and it still runs great, servicing, servicing, servicing. Please keep these great videos coming.

    • @poysunivey
      @poysunivey Před rokem

      I have a 1991 Ranger 395VS with a 2001 Yamaha 225 Vmax. It’s a persnickety ole girl, but as long as you giver her fresh gas and oil and keep the O2 sensor clean she runs like a bay out of Hell! Not sure of hours, but I would bet money it’s well below 1000. 90% of my fishing is done with the bow mount trolling equipment.

  • @stuarthennessy8551
    @stuarthennessy8551 Před 3 lety +3

    Good stuff once again! I noticed these last few weeks that more and more two strokes are comming in again, in total 5.mostly smaller including an old mercury 7.5 HP and I was surprised that mercury still carried all the parts I needed for it. I usually try to place a small bucket or canister below the fuel water filters so I don't spill fuel everywhere. See you next week stay healthy.

  • @TheRoostersGarage

    I have a 99 Johnson 225 on a 19’ Grady that’s being overhauled as I type, also a 97 Yamaha 115 on a 17’ cc Rockwell, a 98 Johnson 20hp on a 14’ Aluimaweld and finally a 62 Johnson 3hp on a 12’ John boat.
    Nothing like the smell & power. Love them all !!!

  • @gnrphil
    @gnrphil Před 3 lety +7

    I run a 2002 200 HPDI with around 2000 hrs on it, still runs great with good fuel economy. As someone said you didn't mention the VST filter which I do every year along with the O2 sensor. Another thing people neglect is the oil in the high pressure pump, I change that every two years along with the belt.
    Yeah I know I over maintain it but better safe than sorry.

  • @antoniobernat4768
    @antoniobernat4768 Před 3 lety +1

  • @kisdasenglothnam
    @kisdasenglothnam Před rokem +2

    I've got two 2001 Mercury Optimax 150 EFI 2-stroke outboards and they're running great. I love them. I do the servicing myself so it saves me quite a bit. Just recently had to replace the VST o-ring today cause the old one was done for. I also use Quicksilver Quickleen each time I fill up my 120 gallon tank before each trip.

  • @projectsdontstop8441
    @projectsdontstop8441 Před 2 lety +7

    I've got a 1974 Evenrude 85hp still going strong. It doesn't see much salt so it looks way better than those Yamahas, at least under the cowling.
    Thanks for the video!

    Running 2002 200 yamaha hdpi just like this one on my 23ft parker se. Apprx 500 hrs and running strong. Love the videos. Change the top side seals on the lower unit and other maintenance work at the beginning of the year. Thanks for all the videos!

  • @Mr51Caveman
    @Mr51Caveman Před 3 lety +3

    I worked fighter jets for 24 years and retired about 18 years ago. Just bought my first boat (1994 Model). No Wings! It has a Yamaha 150 Saltwater series engine on a 24 ft Hurricane Deck boat. I sit and look at it and have no idea what to do as far as engine maintenance! We did take it out over a 5 day period, ran it for a few hours and it seems to run great. But after watching some of your videos I think I need to learn more. Much more!

    • @dwayneroberts6616
      @dwayneroberts6616 Před měsícem +1

      Hi, thank you for your service Sir. Yeah I'm in the same situation with my first boat. I've actually bought an older boat and have had to do some work myself. I've watched a ton of videos and this guy is my go to for restoration and mechanical knowledge also he covers a lot of peripheral subjects to boating. Boat works is another great channel for fiberglass work and painting. You are a lot smarter than me so you will be great at whatever you choose to do. Closest I ever got to a fighter plane was my street bike an FJ1100. I swear if I had wings I could have taken flight😂. Take care.

    When I was buying boat looked for a four cycle 90 on an 18' aluminum. Found a year old floor model 21' boat with Yamaha 150 2 cycle for less money. Saved me a ton of money and I have been very pleased

  • @dustyfarmer
    @dustyfarmer Před 3 lety +1

    I'm running a 2006, 115HP, YAMAHA saltwater series II here in Australia, it's a great motor. When I bought the boat I did have an issue with oil fouling the spark plugs and missing every now & then at low RPM's when trolling, changed up to the next heat range spark plugs & now it will troll all day as low as 600RPM smooth as silk and the spark plugs look great. Excellent video by the way.

    Running the notorious Evinrude Ficht 200. It’s a 2001 with 850hrs on it. It came on a “new to me used” boat. Maintenance tip for these....clean out the water passage on the EMM with a small brush on a drill. It’s a common point of failure for overheated EMM units! Great content. Keep it coming.

  • @fachu2
    @fachu2 Před 3 lety +2

    Thanks for the video. I still love a 2 stroke motor on a boat, I know they are not that great on fuel or even that environmentally friendly but when you open the taps up the roar. Currently running an 87 Yammie 25 Excel, its on a new mid section and has later model cowls. About to replace it with a 300HPDI, just waiting on some parts. Should make my 22footer get up and go.

    Aaron I always carry a spare fuel water separator filter onboard. I had to do a swap out on my Mercruiser the other day while I was heading out fishing. I was 8 miles from where I had launched and was not making much headway on my 10 hp trolling motor, glad thing I had a spare filter onboard!!

    2002 carbureted Mercury Saltwater 150 2 stroke. Runs great and easy to maintain. As my son calls it, a “reliable 2 smoke.” Just did a service on it. Compression was perfect, ran my borescope in it and everything looked clean. Surprised considering Im in South Florida salt conditions. Regular maintenance and flushes are a must down here.

  • @TrophyFish
    @TrophyFish Před 3 lety +1

    Your videos have REALLY helped me. I have a 2005 200HP Yamaha which is almost identical to the ones in your videos. I have a bogging issue and then the engine won't start. Feels like fuel for sure so I have ordered the 2 low pressure fuel pumps to replace and will remove and clean the VST as well as check the fuel pump inside of the VST. All of this is covered in your videos and I can't thank you enough. Now, instead of being intimidated or paying a mechanic way more than I need to, I can do some basic maintenance and see where this leads me. Fingers crossed!

    Have an 88' Merc 175 black max. Original engine on my Sea Ray Laguna. Bought the boat 2 years ago and been going over every part of the motor and changing parts and got rid of all the black boxes on it. Runs better than ever and it has solid compression numbers around 130 all cylinders. Was thinking to repower with a Suzuki but this motor wants to live for a while. Now that I know how to do all the services on it probably will keep it for a while. Great channel keep up the good work.

    20 year old Yamaha 90 2 stroke here. Still running great and blows equivalent 4 strokes into the weeds.

    Ohh yeah I love a two smoke!!! I have two 1997 Johnson ocean runners. They are hungry for fuel and oil!! But knock on wood very reliable!! Water pumps, thermostats, filters and plugs. When I bought my boat it had the original 89 Johnson’s 225s on her. 1485 hours never been rebuilt original lowers and power heads. I figured I was on borrowed time.I repowered with the 97 225’s from a guy in south jersey who had a hydra sport and was going to E-tech’s. Only 400hrs on them great compression No water in the lowers. Decals in great shape definitely taken care of. They push my Grady Marlin nicely 26kts when I keep them around 4400 they are decent on fuel anything more then a few hundred rpm either way and you see the fuel gauge move almost before your eyes!!! Would love some 4 strokers but these are so light and powerful!! Throws the boat on plane!!

    I am still having a blast with the EBCO V-163 ( 16' ) and U.S Marine/ Force 85 ( 2 stroke/ 3cyl. ) that my Dad bought in 1985. Quite amazing because so many of our lakes in S E Colorado were not much more than glorified mud holes and surprised that the water pump hasn't chewed up/dried up. There are not many parts available for the Force series. Once the smallest thing goes wrong, i'll be shopping for a new engine.

    I had a 150 2 stroke Yami on my Whaler in Key Largo. An excellent motor. Just remove the boat mounted oil tank once a year, drain the oil, discard the sludge on the bottom, reverse spray the oil filter with WD40 (replacement isn’t necessary), flush the oil lines too. Reinstall and fill up.
    If you clean out the engine mounted oil tank, always replace the foam washer. When the engine gets old, remove the oil system completely and mix the oil in the gas. The oil system is the Yami’s Achilles heel.

    1993 225 johnson ocean runner on a 1989 22' revenge (whaler). rebuilt once by me in 2007. previous owner didn't change the high pressure water pump, ran it high and hot. I fattened up the mid and high speed orifices for break-in, but it ran so well i just left it like that. 35 mile offshore trips at 3/4 throttle without a single issue. thanks OMC!

    Running a 2001 Yami 150 saltwater series hdpi. Runs great, always has. Serviced filters and plugs and water pump. Use Yamaha ring conditioner in every tank. Use stable in every tank unless non-ethanol. Did not know about filter on bottom of oil tank will change next week. Have been very careful to keep that unit clean.

    Well done video! I'd never worked on outboards, but have worked on just about every other type of engine. Your video was both concise and clear. Only thing I could say to make it perfect would be to add chapter segments that jump to each maintenance segment. This will go a long way towards keeping my yamaha outboard running a long, long time. Cheers! and Subscribed!

    im running a mercury 80hp 1982 that was in the swedish military storage, so barley any hours on it. Did a full service on it recently. Rebuild the carbs with gaskets, needle and seat. New sparkplugs, new impeller, new gearlube, greased all fittings and propshaft. it runs really good and i think they tuned it a bit when they built it and it feels also.

    With the ethanol fuel we use there is more corrosion and deposits. Remove the single bolt and drain the carburators if sitting for a couple of days or longer to prevent gumming, corroion and having to tear down and clean them.

    Sold my Lund Tyee last fall with an '87 Evinrude 90...had to replace the wiring harness due to age, but still running strong according to the new owner. Now have an '06 Yamaha 50 and will use what I've learned here to keep it going as long as my old Evinrude.

    Thanks foIr your content. It's always great! I have a 1986 Johnson 115 on a restored 1964 Cruisers Inc. 17 foot wooden lapstrake boat. I've had very little trouble with it. I did remove the oil injection system at my local shops suggestion, and it has eliminated a big source of worry. I just acquired a Mercury 115 straight 6 from the same era. I hope to put it on another restored boat this summer.

    Still running a 1989 Tohatsu M70A2 two stroke. Just replaced the fuel pump to be safe and had to us a Nissan trim solenoid a few years ago to replace the trim down solenoid because the Tohatsu part wasn't available. At 200 lbs it's a great HP to weight ratio.

    When you trim it up to check/add oil, LOCK IT OUT.
    Also make sure you replace spark plugs with the correct plugs, they are not always the same as what you take out! Call NGK or who ever, give 'em the motor specs, and be sure you get the correct ones!
