Thanks mrdeath, that's just I was hoping to hear. I'm mostly at 14 PSI and had only seen it dip to 12 PSI in one instance and that was the lowest it went. I may go up a hair further and see if...

I've been finding tons of schooling bait being gorged on by multiple schools/packs of bass lately on Badin Lake, specifically in the south and southeast coves of the lake, but I haven't been able to...

Tweaking my jackplate to dial things in and I want to make sure I stay within the water pressure requirements for my 2004 200HP Yamaha HPDI.

Just raised another 1/4" on the jackplate and it's made...

That doesn't sound far off, at least from what I've seen with my problem. Can you go any further into detail at all by chance? My current understanding of what you're saying is that there's an...

I highly recommend starting there now. Since getting mine to 3.5" prop-to-pad, there's been a world of difference.

Before going to 3.5, when the height was incorrectly set, I would porpoise...

clike, I recently had an issue on my TZX200 with a 200 HPDI that did the same thing with the motor down an inch too far. The 3 and a half inches below pad is a great rule of thumb, and the problem...

Well, just for additional information, mine started out doing this once here and there, where it'd only require a single restart or two and then it'd run great. Then it was 2-4 restarts... then...

Ran YDS 1.33 on the motor, it's showing a code 26 "Injector". Points to an injector, or a fuel delivery issue? How long should the primer bulb stay "hard" for, if you prime and just leave it set,...

My bug sat a long while before I bought it and ethanol did a number on it. I've serviced everything on the Yamaha outboard that can be serviced and replaced the fuel lines, primer bulb, and inline...

This is one avenue I haven't gone down, but wouldn't be surprised. They can get carbon all over them and read incorrectly, right? I'll have to pull it and have a look. Would it be stupid to just...

I've run through both tanks multiple times while this problem persists. This video was running fresh 93 octane fuel put into a near empty tank that morning. One big caveat it seems though, is that...

Woah, this sounds exactly like what my 2004 HPDI 200HP is doing. Does it act like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHRvC5t2tbU

Can you give any other background information on your motor?...

Any good recommendations for a high quality Yamaha mechanic/diagnostician in the Charlotte area? I'm looking for someone to take a look at my outboard. I last brought it to J&J Marine, but after...

I've gone ahead and posted a video that may help.

Any and all feedback is welcome here. If I haven't provided enough information, please, ask...

Looking for some input on my 2004 Yamaha 200HP HPDI 2.6L VZ200TLRZ

Its temperamental; sometimes she'll start up fine but when I put it in gear it...

I'm looking to head out tomorrow morning with a buddy of mine to Buggs Island. Any recommendations as to where to start? I've never been to the lake before, and neither has he. I missed the entire...

Just wanted to make a post on here about what the issue was, in case it helps someone else searching for information in the future.

After it was all said and done, I went ahead and did a spark...

I called a local Yamaha Certified shop near me, they're booked until the start of June. I'm going to make some more calls and see if any others have an openings, but I don't hold my breath given the...

I've gone ahead and replaced part #46, the Neutral Selection Switch. Unfortunately, that didn't solve it. The problem is incredibly intermittent, which is honestly driving me insane.

Just took...

See, the thing is the number I have aren't likely any good. The boat is new to me, and is getting upwards of 17% prop slip. I don't feel as though my numbers are accurate enough to have him do what...

I haven't reached out to him yet, no. The prop under-performing big time. I'm sure he could fix it, but I'm also pretty sure an alternative prop would perform better on this boat. From the...

Looking to replace the prop on my Skeeter, but I'm not positive about what I should be buying for it. I've heard of Propeller Shops that'll do loaner props so you can figure out what works best for...

Thanks for the help. I've ordered the part, I'll report back when it's been replaced.

See, that's why I'm figuring something has to be wrong here. With an empty boat, I should be seeing those "miracle speeds", as rrod mentioned.

You've seen good results with the Tempest, though?...

rrod: See, that's where things get tricky here. My boat is empty. I mean, like I-left-the-sport-completely-and-had-to-start-from-scratch empty. I have 6 rods, and 6 370 series plano boxes which...
