    1986 Yamaha 150hp Performance Upgrades??

    Hey guys, just wondering if any of you all have ever done any performance modifications to your outboard. I’ve got a 86 Yamaha 150 and I’m just trying to see if I can get more out of it. It runs strong, but I’d like to go just a little faster without having to trade in for something else. Thanks.

    That’s awesome. I can only get up to 55 @ 5500 with just myself and a tournament load. I might do what you have done. I’d like to hit the 60’s.
