I'm guessing the used motor I'm planning to purchase '98 115 Yamaha was used mod. to heavy for about 2 1/2 - 3 years - guessing 2 trips(avg. 4 hours) a week x 4 weeks x (7-8 mos.) per year. Aprox. 600 hours. Seller guesses about 150 to 200. Is 600 to 700 hours a lot on a motor? And would the compression start to dip if it were very worn? Current compression is in the 140-135 range on all cylinders?
Thanks for the advice! |

p-buoy,
In my opinion it's like asking what would be considered "high" miles on a car. Some show their age at 80k, others seem perfect at 150k.. even if bothe cars are the same year model. I would say around 1000 is getting up there for an outboard, but I think you have to call it on a case by case basis. My two cents,

p-buoy,
Oh, and about the compression, a range of 5 psi on all cylinders, with the lowest being 135 is very good. I don't have any yamaha books, but out of the few I have, an allowance of 5-10 psi (depending on who wrote the book) is givin between cylinders.

Hi, just a wild shot. Would anyone know about wiring up a 2001 40 hp Yamaha. Bought it new. Understand that the main cable just "plugs in" however there are two "pigtails" for accessories All I want to wire is a tachometer. There are two wires of different colors in each pigtail but the wiring diagram in the booklet does not indicate what wires go to what accessories you may want to install.Can anyone help?
Thanks Jim |
