If the model number is as you stated in your opening post, a 150TXRT, then its a 1995, not a 1994. Scroll to the bottom of this page to see how to interpret a Yamaha model number http://www.boats.net/parts/search/Yamah ... parts.html The 1995 150TXRT is carburated. See this page for the...

Good luck! There are many other possible reasons for low RPMs so if the "prop to big" angle does not pan out let us know and we can continue to narrow down the possible causes.

Today Yamaha graciously offered to cover half the cost of the repair. The toal bill was $950 and they did not even replace the pumps as we brought them back to life on the bench. If we had replaced teh pumps it would have been $2000. What I find interesting is that Yamaha did not take a...

Even if you see a spark jump from the screwdriver to ground that does not guarantee your spark plug is sparking. If your plugs are fouled they will not spark. You need an airgap for a spark and a fouled plug has no air gap. Its also harder for a spark to jump across an air gap when that air...

Its not hard to measure for the presence of moisture in your transom. Take a decent quality volt/ohm meter and set it to the highest (usually 20 to 40 M ohms) resistance setting. Then probe any two metal penetrations that you know are in contact with the transom plywood. Start with...

I just happen to have my F225 manual here at my desk and under storage/fogging and it says "Just prior to turning off the engine quickly spray "Yamaha Stor-Rite Engine Fogging Oil" alternately into the silencer cover. When properly done the engine will smoke excessively and almost stall" It...

couple thoughts: 1) just because the timing light blinked does not mean a spark occurred. The inductive pickup tells you current flowed through the spark wire but it can't tell you if the plug is fouled (in which case no spark) or not. 2) Agree with Bobp - assuming you have 3 cyclinders...

Just found this - note the comment that no fuel stabilizer has proven they prevent phase separation. "3. Alcohol absorbs water. Water which comes from the atmosphere, in time, can contaminate the fuel, then separate from the alcohol (called phase separation) which can be problematical...

350 weighs just over 800 pounds. I asked the local yamaha tech that was working at my house today if he had any experience with them. He said very limited as there are only a few hulls that have transoms strong enough to hang the motor on. He said Pursuit had to go to a 6" transom to prevent...

26.8 Ilander - Do you have an electric fuel pump? If its clogged then it should still run on a bench. Does it?

The ethanol problem is not overblown, its very real. See my recent post. http://www.greatgrady.com/forum/viewtop ... 7228#57228

Take the ethanol problem very seriously - trust me, it is not overblown. Here is my first hand story. I bought a 2004 330 Express in June of 2008. The boat had been sitting a long time but when I went to pick it up it both engines (F225's) fired up and ran like a clock. Note that it was...

my 330 express has a Simrad AC20. In the 330 the electrical panel is in the cabin directly below the helm station. The pump and computer are both located in the bottom of the electric "closet". The compass is in the aft berth against the forward starboard bulkhead. Make sure when...

It took some fussing but I got a automotive wiper at Auto Zone that mounted straight to the wiper arm on my 330 Express. Agree that $34 is insulting for a wiper blade.

I had 1994 250 Yamaha on a 228G, and when trimmed just right it would run at 5600-5700 RPM. Prop was marked, if memory serves, with "17M" which I think means 17 " pitch and I think it was 15 1/4 diameter. I did not have a fuel meter so can't tell you what to expect there. 4,700 RPM is...

Both my Gradys had similar moisture and growth - its black mold. I have not proven conclusively its leaking deck plates but pretty sure Hookup1's advice is right on the money. What I have noticed is the mold is concentrated on the area beneath the deck plate and dissipates within 6 inches of...

How old is your engine? I recently replaced the trim cylinder (not tilt - it is much harder) dust seals on my 1994 Yamaha 250 but in my case it was a slow leak - had to top off the tilt fluid resevoir every 3-6 months. Not knowing the year of your engine, this might not be the exact picture...

It is definitely a buyer's market for boats. In 2007 I bought a "leftover" 2006 whaler below dealer invoice. I also found several competing gradys for sale at dealer invoice. The mark up from invoice to MSRP was about 40%, so that will give you some idea of what your negotiation room is. If...

There are alot of older grady outboard powered models for sale with original power and are ready to be repowered. There is no need to punish yourself by going down the path of converting an I/O to outboard. Since you are not in a rush, bide your time and the right one will come along. You'll...

It does take a leap of faith and you do have to trust the system and be willing to accept that your boat is worth only what someone is willing to pay for it. In the case of my boat sale on ebay, with 3000 unique viewers of the ad, 300+ watchers (a watcher is someone that has actively added your...
