    '99 180 second battery placement?

    1999 SWS ox66 2-stroke 150. Battery under each seat with the oil resovoir under the port jumpseat as well. It is a little snug under the port jump seat, but it fits.

    GW Sportsman 180 Pro's & Con's

    Got a '99 with a SWS 150 over here on Nantucket. Love it. Take it off the South shore with three of us (all 200+ lbs) and fish the rips. Parthery, I'm curious, you have both batteries on the starboard side? I have a dual setup with a battery under each jump seat. This eliminates the list...

    Need Your Thoughts-Yamaha Engine Recommendation

    '99 225 ox66. Bulletproof. Take the savings, maybe be put it into the tank, as the ox66 will use more fuel than the HPDI. Good motor. Does anybody know if the '98 is fuel-injected or carborated?

    Motor won't trim down

    OK, here is what I encountered today. Trim switch on 704 control unit will trim motor UP, but not DOWN. Trim switch on side of motor will trim motor (99 150 ox66) BOTH UP and DOWN with no issues. Bad solenoid in 704 control unit? If so, is this an easy or difficult fix? Just-in-time, little...

    2000 Yamaha OX?

    Tucker, I totally agree. I have the same motor '99 0x66 150, and "I RUN THE CRAP OUT OF IT...". That beast drools and belches oil smoke like my 6-year old bullmastiff but starts every time and runs all day. Love it, even if she drinks twice as much as a 4-stroke, at least I can rely on it. - Bob

    1999 Grady 180 and 2000 Yamaha 100HP Questions

    100hp? I would definitely say underpowered. Great boat, I have a '99 with a 150 ox66, and would not go with less than a 130. That being said, I know Grady dresses them with F115's but I would certainly not go with less than that. From my experience the 115 is a little underpowered with 3...
