Good link to bookmark, thanks :thumb up2:
its gone. im sent.
If aluminex works kinda ok, try Marikate On & Off. Its basically the same but stronger. It will say right on it not to use it on aluminum, but do it. I worked at a marina for 10 years and that is...
Nice score! My factory '04 seats were Llebroc, a board sponsor.
That's one sweet looking little champ! Best of luck with it.
That's a sharp boat I like it....

That's a bummer. At least if fixed correctly you will never have to worry about it again

I hope he gets the $51k, that means all of our resale values are going up!
I don't think rebuilding the HPDI was necessarily a bad way to go but being good friends with a Mercury Master mechanic and not knowing anyone that works on Yamahas really made the choice easy. I am...
I think it may just be the end of the ring that you are seeing there I cant really see a pin, will know more as I disassemble further.
PM me with what you are looking for, thanks.
Thanks for the instructions and pictures they will come in handy in the future :beers:
Yeah i am gonna give it a month or two and see if I can find a clean used 225 Optimax. The looking I have done the last few days it seems 250's are far easier to find but I am sure something will...
I just bought the boat knowing the engine was blown so its no surprise. I tore it down hoping a little hone and two new pistons / rings would get a couple more years out of it. I don't have that kind...

Yes thats just daylight through the fuel injector hole.
How can you tell when scoring is too deep to hone?
Starboard head will come off today.
Thanks for the replies so far all info is...
Hello Yamaheads. I am pretty new to working on outboards I am more of a car guy so hoping for a little insight from those that are more experienced. Engine is a 2004 Yamaha 225 HPDI 3.3L, lost power...
I just went through a similar thing but my Champ has 14" wheels that really narrowed my choices on load range D tires. I wasn't even contemplating load range C on a single axle trailer and I was...
That's a consideration and I'll definitely be making a call to them this week. My 521VX had a 250 HPDI that I swapped out for a new 250 Pro XS and I didn't regret it but this boat will be on a much...
Thanks! My last 4 boats were a Ranger 350V, 374V, 520VX and 521VX and there is something about the size and layout of this 198 Champ that I really think I am gonna like! I'll be on this board a lot...
