    I've definitely gone to only burning Rec 90, I feel better about cleaning up my engine now. I try to slow shift but in a tight spot sometimes you just have to shift faster that you should? I run my boat all year long but she does sit a bit more in the winter. I stabilize the fuel left in the tank and try to top off the tank before it sits to reduce the surface area open to oxidation and vaporization. Just ran her in a parade on the lake last night in Georgia! Time for plugs and wires....

    Fyi no amount of flushing the early 2000 225 4 stroke Yammys would prevent the corrosion in the exhaust manifold as fresh water does not flow in that manifold. This was a defect in the Yamaha metallurgy at the time. If not caught early enough this would ruin the midsection to block interface.

    Great video once again.. I fish in freezing weather up here in the north and it sometimes gets tough to clean off all the salt.. I do my best when I get home. I only stop running my boat for 3 months Jan,Feb,and March.. I change my oil every 50hrs and it's black. Gear oil every 100. I think it's better to change oil in spring because moisture can build in oil over the winter months. Theres so many people who winterize in the fall and do oils at the same time.. who knows.. anyway love you're videos and thank you for the time you take to make them.

    Thank you for your detailed explanations in your videos! I recently replaced our '05 mercury Optimax 150's on our family boat with mercury twin 2019 150 four-strokes. It's a much better experience. The DFI oil was killing us. The oil is about $45/gallon retail - $33 or so a gallon online if you catch a sale. Our boat used to hold about 5 gallons of 2 stroke oil. I have always loved 2 strokes, but for running offshore the mercury 150 four strokes work better for us. We were burning close to 4 gallons on a typical canyon trip out of Indian River, DE with the Optimax's. I have followed the 150 four stroke since 2011. But, your videos helped my family decide that the 150 four strokes were the way to go for us. The maintenance is super easy too! Thank You!

    ACTUAL SALT IN THE AIR; I googled it and there is salt content in sea air?
    I wondered how significant THAT IS, regarding, EFI and or Carburetors, when running engines in salt water venues?
    1473.4 F, evaporates salt or (800.8 C).
    A healthy "cooling system" on an outboard thermostats Out at; 140F to 160F.
    Therefore, those salty carbon molecules aren't going anywhere?
    Certainly the exhaust baffles run much hotter but that process takes place long after the salt content mixes with the fuel?
    food for thought.

    • @BornAgainBoating
      @BornAgainBoating  4 года назад

      Yes, most dealers should be able to work on a lower, but as far as rebuilding one. It depends on what you are trying to do. With the expense it costs in hours for shop labor. A lot of times, because it is a time consuming project, it's not worth rebuilding a lower unit because you can find a used one or buy a replacement lower for about the same price. So it really depends on what you are trying to do.

      No worries, thank you for your support! Yes, absolutely lol lots of Yami's "make oil." It's usually from extended no wake, idle, or trolling time. But there are a few models that do it more excessively than others. As long as you keep an eye on it then it's not going to be anything to worry about. We've seen them go 150-200 hours and have like a gallon fuel of oil!

      @@BornAgainBoating It's good to hear that point of view. My F300 is doing it and the Marina where I purchased it said it probably wasn't broken in correctly and the rings didn't seat. They sent me to "The Hull Truth", where there's a 14 page thread saying it's a problem that Yamaha, sometimes, isn't willing to "fix". Its a 2015 motor I bought this summer with only 30 hrs. They did some kind of upper head clean and told me to run the blank out of it, which I did. Still making oil...doesn't seem right to have the "lubricity" of the oil compromised by gasoline.

      My in-laws have an old 80s Johnson 35 two stroke that was sitting in the dirt for who knows how long. I managed to get it to kick over after dribbling some fuel in it. Still needs the carb and the fuel pump rebuilt but I imagine it'll be a solid motor after that.

      dave smith... the only tractor I know anything about driving was my grandfathers 1980 John Deere 850. It had two gear shifters which gave you a lot of gear ratios to pick from, but you had to come to a complete stop to pick the gears you wanted. I think when my dad is putting my boat in gear, he thinks the gears will eventually stop moving like it does in a tractor.

    Regarding the Yamaha F225 corrosion issue, is it not true that no amount of flushing will prevent these engines from consuming themselves? The corrosion occurs at a point in the exhaust path above where cooling water enters the path, so salt isn't causing the corrosion. Poor metallurgy or coatings are the issues at play.

    • @milkylicker6963
      @milkylicker6963 4 года назад

      Ethanol is the culprit here. Acids used to produce ethanol react with the metal in the exhaust with these units.

    Great Video, I have a 2007 200hp Verado and I was wondering what the baseline readings for water pressure, oil pressure and temp would be on the smartcraft gauges should be so I can monitor this.

    • @BornAgainBoating
      @BornAgainBoating  4 года назад

      Thank you and awesome! That's a 6 cylinder 200 right? Your water pressure will vary at idle down to 1 psi sometimes but usually around 1.5 or 2 or so, then at wide open it can get all the way up to like 16 or 18 sometimes higher! Oil pressure should stay above 60 psi at wide open it can get up to 80 or higher. Then the oil temp I'm not 100% sure on, but it'll be in the 200's.

Lots of flushing , washing and soaking with silicone after each use has kept it going so far, so if Honda is the worst from your experience then maybe any brand will do OK as a replacement.

    I am done with Yamaha. Threw a rod through the block with only 227 hours on a F300 the other day. Motor was out of warranty. I did everything by the book exceptionally. Going to Yamaha's outboard website and all they talk about is "Reliability this Reliability that". Yeah right, what a Joke Yamaha is, and their customer service was not helpful in the least, couldn't have cared in the least little bit why one of their precious motors threw a rod with only 227 hours on it while being meticulously maintained. Screw Yamaha, I got social media skills too and I will advertise every chance I get how poor their product is. Good video tho man, you do good work which is why I watch your stuff.

    • @johnpike5836
      @johnpike5836 4 года назад +1

      factory spec. maintenance is standard, but it always depends on what your boat use and purpose is. I always ran about 15% richer oil mix, spark plug fouling is a lot less upsetting than an overhaul.
      A major factor is the quality of fuel. Marina's have a reputation for watery gas (and are expensive) but if your marina service seaplanes try a 50% mix of aviation fuel.

      Not really, just a lot less cleaning and you don't need to use as much grease lol you still want to change all the same stuff and grease all the same points. You just don't see all of the corrosion issues as salt water!
