    F150 Balancer delete question.

    For those of you who have deleted the balancer shafts on the f150: did you plug the oil holes? I just wondered about a possible oil pressure problem if they were left open. Also have you experienced any additional vibration with the shafts removed? I understand these are not even installed on...

    F150 TXR: how strong should indicator stream be??

    2006 F150, my first Yamaha. Previous owner had replaced water pump impeller at some point. I replaced it when I bought the engine. It's a solid stream, but not very forceful like my (sold) Honda 225. I checked the tube back to the block and it's clean. Engine does not overheat, so I'm thinking...

    F150 Key Switch questilon

    Should I be getting a beep (or two) when I turn the key on my 06 F150 TXR? It looks like a standard Yamaha switch panel. (My first Yamaha). There's nothing mentioned in the owners manual. My old Honda 225 would give two beeps when I turned the key on. TIA

    06 F150 TXR mid-shaft bushing

    I recently sold my 02 Honda 225 and purchased an 06 Yamaha F150TXR. The Honda had a poorly designed mid-shaft bushing which was water lubricated (and also silt and sand lubricated if you happened to operate in shallow water) and prone to failure, even destroying the middle casing on some...

    225 cowling seal

    I need to replace the upper eng. cover (cowling) rubber seal. I assume it's attached with a glue or cement. What type of cement have you guys successfully used for this? I was thinking something like 5200 or gorilla glue? TIA!

    225 prop shaft service bulletin. How important?

    The Honda Service bulletin SBPE 20040 concerns adding a shim to reduce prop shaft end play (fwd & aft movement) from .50 mm to .35(+-.05) mm. My engine currently has .50mm end play. I've had no problems with noise or metal in the oil (390 Hours on eng). How common are problems concerning this...

    BF 225 tilt-trim won't trim out under load

    My 2002 225 A2XA had developed a trim problem that needs a diagnosis. It will does not want to trim out when the engine is under a load below planing speed. If I pull the engine to neutral, the trim seems to work properly. The fluid level is full and the unit makes no unusual noises and has no...

    Early 225 shift arm kit

    My early 225 is still plagued by the "hard to find " neutral. Has anyone installed the shift kit (item 53 in the parts fiche) and did it help your shifting? Looks like the kit includes a flat spring, Shift arm (Cam) and a bracket. I know some have suggested that replacing the cables will help...

    Driveshaft grease for BF225

    Replacing impeller on my 225 A2XA. What's the best grease to use on the sleeve type bearing on the driveshaft. I have some Quicksilver 2-4-C ( with Teflon?) i was thinking of using. Apparently this thing is normally water lubricated from a small spray on the driveshaft from the vertical water...
