    New Yamaha owner HPDI or 3.1 l differance?

    I have a 2003 VMAX 3.1 l on the boat I just bought. I ran Mercury and Mariners in the past on different boats. I would like to know the difference between the two Yamaha motors?

    HPDI is a direct injection motor...like an Optimax...

    Your 3.1L OX66 is an EFI...

    Both "like" oil a lot...however the fuel economy on the HPDI is better than the EFI, unless you run WOT all the time then they are about the same.

    Love mine and runs like a dream.
