Yamaha Guy's,- I have come across a 2005 HPDI 300 that is a "New" factory left-over complete with factory warrantee. Please give your opinions on this motor. Was this the first model year for the 300. What problems (if any) does the 300 have in general and if there were any specific problems for the 300 in 2005. Thnaks
Mine is an 05 and no problems yet but only 20 hours and most of them have been above 6000 so it has been run hard.
I have an '04 300HPDI. That was the first year.
Blew up with about 10 hours on it. That was a rigging problem not a motor problem.
Love the motor since then. Tons of torque and relatively quiet at WOT.
Not sure if they made any changes to the '05.

So far I'm well satisfied with my 300, took some getting used to the "quiet"

All positive so far. . .so I'll vote yes too! Got a couple of friends who run the 300.

I can't say enough about this engine...bad to the bone.
It's quiet, great on gas and looks great hanging on the back of the boat. I think you will be satisfied!
