1993 Yamaha 200TXRR

I am looking at buying a boat with this motor. I was wondering what I should no about this motor?? Anything special I should look at?? What should the compression numbers be??<br />Does this motor have the new SS shift rod or do i still have to look for the rotted steel one??<br /><br />Thanks guys!! You have always been right there for all my questions!!

hello<br /> carefully inspect the shift rod. compression should all be within about 10 psi from bank to bank. look it over carefully for signs of shoddy repairs and corrosion.<br /> good luck and keep posting

look for any signs of service and ask for service records. spend $50 and get a mobile to mechanic to inspect it for you.

What should the compression numbers be?? The guy just told me he had it checked, and that 5 have 130 psi and one is at 100 psi??<br /><br />Should I run from this boat & Motor?? Or do you think the motor can be saved with this info?<br /><br />Thanks again

I have a 225 from the same year. Definitely check for corrosion, but also it should have had new thermostats & water pump and a carb rebuild at least once in its life....

that motor is blown or severly neglected. run,run away.<br /> a 30 psi spread is very very bad.<br /> good luck and keep posting<br />PS if you really want to know the condition of the cylinder sealing have a leak down test done. its much more accurate than compression.
