What would be the best course of action: try an sell the outboard or see if the dealer will take a trade in?

I"ve got a 2007 150 four stroke yamaha on an Xpress X19. So far, so good. very fuel efficient and pushes my boat 60mph (GPS).

I'm entertaining the thought of swaping out my 150 four stroke for a vmax sho 200. Just wondering if anyone knew what these motors were selling for. I believe the regular 150 four strokes were...

Went to a local Yamaha dealership and had to pay$23 plus tax for this filter. Next time I need one, I'll have to look elsewhere.

I had my 10hr service in Oct 2008 (150 four stroke). Since then, I really don't think I've put enough hours to change the oil right now; it's still golden brown in color. But should I be change the...

My Yamaha four stroke 150 turned one year old at the end of July. I bought it in July 2008 and the only thing I did to it was bring it to the dealer for the 10hr service this past October. Should I...

I had completely forgotten about this post. If anyone's interested in putting an alumaducer in their Xpress, you need to do it. I've had mine installed for about 2-3 months and it works great. My...

at what point does the trim tab fin become ineffective? surely this thing is out of the water at WOT. Does the trim tab play a big role in steering/torque?

I hope so. The only reason I'm concerned is because a few months ago, I borrowed a 24" Fury from a buddy and when I put the prop on, there was only about 1/4inch gap between the blade and the trim...

I just ordered a new propeller for my 150 four stroke. current prop is 13.5 x 23 pitch. New prop is 14.5 x 23 pitch. I have a feeling the blades will be very close to the trip tab. I hate to just...

Yep, I agree. Gauge speedometer on a boat is as useless as a screen door on a submarine. I've only had my boat a year and have totally given up on keeping skeg hole clean. GPS rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to determine if my 150 four stroke is truly WOT when the throttle is all the way down (on the trailer). How can I determine this, what do I need to look for/observe? The motor is as high as...

Question for Musky Mike and Haynie........Both of you said you are turning 6000rpm. If you don't mind me asking, what prop/pitch are you using? I am running the 4-blade powertech (23") and I can't...

I looked at the alumaducer on their website. I think this is the product that I'm going with.

Well, the problem is I actually lost the transducer. All I have left hanging off the back of the transom is a wire and half of the bracket. Does anyone know if humminbird makes a puck style...

I contacted humminbird and was told that they don't make a transducer that will shoot through an aluminum hull. My transome mounted transducer got knocked off the other day and I'm reluctant to put...

At this current set-up, about the time the boat starts to get scary I'm trimmed up pertty good and hitting about 5500RPMs. I may try to raise the motor about another 1/2 inch to see if I can get a...

If you have a water pressure gauge on your fourstroke 150, please tell me where the hose fits on the motor. When I bought the adapter last week, the dealer showed me on a 150 where the adaper goes...

I had a water pressure gauge installed this morning. What is the minimum and/or optimum water pressure to have while running? I plan on raising my motor as high as I can while still having enough...

I may attempt to purchase/install a water pressure gauge myself. Where does the hose go? What side of the motor is the pump? Thanks,

For clarification, the motor had to have been purchased after 18Sept08?

That's about right. I just bought a 150 in July. I didn't see this info on their website. Where did you get this information?

I am a firm believer in synthetic oil. Although I've only got about 4hrs on my 150 four stroke, when I bring it in for the 10hr service, I would like to have synthetic oil put in it. Do ya'll use...

I use Stabil in everything except my truck. Haven't even burned one full tank of fuel yet with my new boat, but every time I add fuel, I will add Stabil. Great stuff.

I haven't noticed. Now that I've got a boat, it seems almost impossible to find the time to put it in the water. I could be wrong, but it doesn't sound like its idling too high, but then again its...
