    Yamaha prop nut kit & torque

    Does anyone know what the Yamaha part no. is for a prop nut kit for a 2023 F60LB 60 hp outboard and what the normal torque would be for that size engine? The manual says 25 ft. pounds but when I removed the aluminum prop and replaced it with a stainless steel one it sure didn't seem to be that...

    Aftermarket Tach for a Yamaha F60LB

    Well a new Yamaha on Amazon looks to run around $200-$250 but some of the aftermarkets are from $35-$90 just wondering if they would work just as well without the Yamaha name? Thought maybe someone on the forum might of used a aftermarket in place of a Yamaha at some time.

    Aftermarket Tach for a Yamaha F60LB

    I have replaced my 98 Mercury 60 hp ELPTO with a Yamaha F60LB and would like to replace the tachometer which was a Mercury and has quite working some time ago. I was wondering if there is a decent aftermarket round tach that shows the RPM and hours that won't break the bank.

    98 60hp Mercury hesitation

    I have a 98 60hp Mercury that seems to hesitate once in a while when I first start to add power. As I increase power 1/3-1/2 throttle it smooth out and I can run full power without a miss for as long as I want. I changed plugs a few days back and noticed that the no. 1 cly. had a little more oil...
