      Seth H How many racing records are held by Mercury outboards? Quite a few, and Honda and Yamaha can’t come close. Sure, racing engines don’t last nearly as long. My 2.5l 280hp needs more maintenance than most, but every pass it gets hit with a 300hp shot of nitrous. Now, I do have a 1960’s Merc 60hp that is on my small fishing boat and it has over 7,000 hours, still running strong. Never changed anything but water pumps, spark plugs and once a trim relay. My grandfather used it every day for more than 20 years, then my dad used it for another decade before I got it. I don’t have a problem with any brand of outboard, because I’ve had good luck with all of them. Even Chrysler/Force. Although, I will admit that the Evinrude/Johnson 60-75hp 3 cylinder engines are my favorite for smaller boats.

    • @sethh1577
      @sethh1577 Před 4 lety +2

      Adam R yeah but Yamaha isint in the racing industry they are more about reliability, but gee 7000 hours??, wow incredible, we have 4000 hours on our Yamaha, no problems yet! Just like you said spark, impeller, and we do the lower unit oil change every year

    • @adamr9215
      @adamr9215 Před 4 lety +2

      Seth H You were the one calling Mercury outboards crap. I’m just pointing out facts that prove otherwise. I’ve seen plenty Honda’s and Yamahas that didn’t make it too 100 hours before having major problems. Everyone turns out a few lemons. Also, some people try to use racing engines on their fishing boats, abusing the engine leading to a short life. Every time you see a big center console boat with 2 to 6 R series outboards on the back, you are looking at a boat where the owner wanted to show off his money, rather than picking an engine that was made for the job. Most of the “bad” engines I’ve seen were abused in such a manner. Weather it be people trying to troll with a racing engine (what kills most big racing Mercs) or trying to treat a lower rpm work engine like a high rpm racing engine (what seems to kill most of the Yami’s and Honda’s) it mainly comes down to people picking the wrong engine for the application.

    • @sethh1577
      @sethh1577 Před 4 lety +1

      Adam R yeah, but mercury warranty is 2-3 years, Yamaha 3-6 year warranty, to me that says enough about reliability. racing I’ll gladly give that to mercury, but for me and my little Jon boat I don’t need racing engines and high maintenance motors, just a reliable motor, with my 6 year warranty, but like you said there are cases were mercury would be the better engine, like racing boats

    My water discharge (tell tale) does not work. I have water output to the brass nipple that connects to the tell tale where I believe the exhaust and coolant exit the back of the casting. I have run wires and weed eater cord down the nipple but it seems to bottom out about an inch below the floor. am I probing the right hole? I have never seen one of these engines running.

    I'm not convinced yet, I need to buy a 250. Can you redo this test with a Yamaha 250 and 300?

    Can you run that on pure acetone to see what happens?
