Way to go Ron. Can't wait to give it a ride with you!

Nice motor! I never had an OB, how often do you need to replace them?

For what i paid I dont ever want to replace this one
This is my first New motor Tom told me I should get thousands of hours from this motor as long as it is maintained
Thanks Denis I am ready to go anytime you want to!

Paul, I've heard that if they are properly maintained, you should be able to get at least 2000 to 3000 hours out of them. Proper tune ups, oil changes (depending on engine), and even flushing the engine after each use are all factors in the life of the engine.

Ron, good luck with the new engine!! Those four strokes are nice!

Thanks Joey

Thanks Joey

You will even get better gas millage. You will see a big difference.

Wow..Good luck with the new engine...she is a looking nice!

congrats. i like the thousdands of hours, use them all!

Yamaha says 6000 plus hours. I made the switch to the inline 4 I love it going on 300 hours.

Thanks everyone I think I will be very happy
The first 3 hours were a real thrill
Glad to see the great reviews
It lifts up that Grady hull pretty good
Will be going a lot further now
See you all out in the deep blue
Oh and I got a 6 year warranty also
3 standard and 3 bonus years

They will offer you more warranty options when your close to running out. The only thing that kinda sucks is servive price for 20 hour and 100 hour etc especially doing the 20 and the 100 in the same season, but it makes up for it on fuel and not buying oil every fill up. I tripled my fuel mileage

Wow! And i thought the old 200 2 stroke was good on gas
Every penny helps

My 20 hour service is included

Great engine , my 150 runs like a top. Only pump issue in first 1200 hours. Great fuel milage.

I just turned 100 hours on my Yamaha 150. Spoke to Tom about the service, he said it's pretty simple to do yourself, and has no effect on the warranty. He will set you up with all the parts to do it. Engine has been bulletproof so far.

I also have a 18 year old 4 stroke Honda 50 that I bought from Tom, and really, it's amazing how little maintenance it needs. Oil, filters anodes and every few years a water pump. The only "issue" I ever had was the linkage on the lower unit became disconnected once. Honestly, I hadn't checked it, ever. Was simply a matter of replacing two nuts, and adjusting the rod. Took 10 minutes.
