2000 Yamaha 225hp Water Pumps

[Harmon]

I just had the Marina replace my water pumps and thermostats in my Yamaha 225hp ox66 (twins) to the tune of $900.00. I am pretty sure that I could do the job in the future. Here's the question, I have tried to find a manual for these engines but I only see years to 98. Where can I get one for 2000 and what would be the best manual. Second they describe two types of water pumps, one is stainless is there a difference? And last are there any tricks I should know about before I charge into this in a couple of years.<br />Thanks.

it sounds like you got robbed at gunpoint. Not sure about the manuals, but water pump kits are under $50 each, and i would expect an hour of labor per engine, at 60-75 and hour. Yikes.<br /><br />did that 900 come with a date with his daughter?

Actually that cost should have been around $400-$500, parts and labor unless they ran into problems. But due to the years of the engine, there shouldn't have been any problems.

Harmon, <br /> It looks like you have some cash give away. Can you send some to Scout at Australia so they can get a new motor. or send me a blank check !!!
