I bought a boat with an 01 3 cylinder 40hp Yamaha. The guy I bought it from says he didn't remember the oil mix ratio. Can anyone help?
Also, should I run ringfree in it?
I am looking at a boat that has a 2000 model 60hp Yamaha. It looks clean under the cowl, but the gaskets have corrosion all the way around them, none on the metal of the motor. Is this a sign of inside corrosion from not flushing saltwater properly?
The mechanic I am buying this motor from says this was a problem for this year model. He says it will take 15 min to leak down once you raise the mootr, like, say you are in shallows and want to raise the motor to fish.
He said the problem can't be fixed, it was a bad batch of t&t units...

Got any ideas on this?

I get black residue on my hand from operating the tiller on my 25 hp motor. It is 10 yrs old and has been sitting under a carpot for a couple of years, and probably in the weather before that.
Is there any way to clean this off so it won't keep rubbing off on my hand?
It is a 1999, tiller short shft manual start. It has a temp light next to the stop switch.
Does this tell the water is too hot, or not pumping, or engine overheat?
What exactly does it do?
Thanks
Does anybody know the weight of this motor?
Has anyone bought one off there? What kind of luck? What have you heard?
I am just kinda leary of buying a used motor like that without a face to face inspection.
I am looking for a used 25-30hp w/electric start.
It doesn't want to operate at the same speed. From the lowest position to about 20 degrees it moves slowly, then like somethings releases and it moves faster all the rest of the way up. On the opposite way down, it slows at the exact same point. We cannot figure it out. The fella I just...
