    Yamaha 200h.p. Pro V

    Looking at a boat with this on it. I know nothing about yammies. Could y'all tell me any known problems, carbed or EFI? Thanks.

    Awesome motors... They were known for carbs getting dirty, gummed up... Check for compression... Strong motors that last.

    I used to have pro v and never had problem and it was a 89 model,just got rid of it two years ago and its still going strong! But they dont like to sit for a long time or the carbs will have to be cleaned.

    Can of Gumout every 2 months and run it with the muffs on 2x during the winter for 15 minutes sure helped mine be dependable for 13 years (1987-2000)! Ran like a top when sold.
