Motor question

[FlukeU2]

Thanks guys for the info. Hey Gerry I seen a boat with twin 200jp Yamaha hpdi motors and when I looked up info on them I read that they were one of the best 2 strokes ever made and then others also commented how good they are.

We had a big single HPDI Yamaha 200hp on one of our 25' Privateer tow boats. The damn thing would not die doing one of the worse types of work for marine engines

Cool thanks guys for the info. Hopefully I can buy the boat now because I think it will be a great deal. Of course after I get a servey done.

Do any one of you guys know about evenrude E150FCX. 2002 ??

[Capt. Debbie]

Call Monmouth Marine on Rte 36. They used to fix all out Evinrudes at Sea Tow. Excellent repair people with lots of experience.

Keep in mind the Evinrude E-Tech Gen 1 motors have water cooled EMM's as well. Does not take much to clog the small hoses. The Yamaha HPDI 150 was probably there best motor with the 200 right along side it. If you do buy a boat with either motor, we like to put the motor in gear while warming up, as it will now run on all 6 cylinders. In Neutral, it only runs on three.

They had some early issues when they first came out but they were apparently resolved. Some people still avoid them because of the early reputation and the pricing of boats that have them on the back reflects that.
