I have 2 motors, 150, and a 15 kicker. I tried the red washers on one and a black washer on another and they were snugges down pretty tight. Just curious about the vibration.
I have never had this issue on my I/O.
Any idea if there is a torque value for the gearcase drain screws on an 86 150ETXJ? I snugged them up after the last oil change and after running the season they were loose. No water in the oil though. Does the 2stroke vibration cause this? Thanks
I have a 1986 Yamaha ETXJ outboard that after running and at idle, one head runs about 85 degrees and the other is at 110 degrees. Is that a thermostat issue? If so, who has them? Thanks
