i just finished restoring my 85 offshore 24 got rid of the 01 225 ox66 yanaha abd bought a 300 hpdi. however after researching i have heard a lot of bad things about hpdi's, just curious to see if anyone has expierence running them, thanks in advance
 
No personal experience but be sure it has the Yamaha updates installed.
 
yes they do and i feel a little more confident with that, however anytime someone says an engine is comprable to a first generation ficht motor i get kinda nervous u no bo thanks for the input.
 
HPDI

I have a 2004 200hp HPDI. I have put over 650hrs on the engine and hav'nt had any issues. Fuel economy is good and does not use much oil. I would buy another one. Great engine :D :D :D :D :D
 
300hpdi

hey bigfish over here we have had lots or problems with thw 250 and 300 hpdi motors. Seems to be always no2 or 4 cylinders that fail and nearly always a lack of oil problem. Yamaha has a revised oil pump for that model, but after doing the mods my customers nearly always got around 100hrs on a powerhead and it would fail. if you need parts..... i have lots andy
