CONTINUOUSWAVE

The video shows it was something with the lower unit, at under a year old is what I think I heard. At least it was under warranty and a failure so early tells me it was a freak thing. As far as I know, Yamaha's have a very good reputation for reliability. It is too bad the E-TEC problems took years...

The thread seems to be collecting anecdotal bad outcomes that happened to third parties: here is another anecdotal bad outcome to a third party, in this case with the engine that is the topic of this thread, a Yamaha F300: “We Blew up a $30,000 Yamaha 300 Motor” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zraU6e...

Jim, I appreciate your defending of the E-TEC but it's just not for me (and apparently a lot of other people). I presume if they were better, they would still be making them. ...Things I've dealt with or still dealing with: --replaced fuel pump lift pump... The fuel lift pump has been in use for dec...

From my experience... Good info. Thank you, I plan on working on that bottom paint. Plan is to do that when we take her apart for the repower. We started chiseling the loose thick sections when we go down to the harbor and have a couple coldies. Previous owner did a lousy job and it looks like seve...

I thought the 22 WD was rated for 300hp with the standard transom @ 240. I’ve found several threads on this subject and the conclusion is that over the years, Boston Whalerchanges the horsepower capacity on these boats. For WD fitted boat, they went from 300 to 400 to 450-HP—or something like that....

I in fact hate this motor so much that my repower will be with the grey Yamaha because their White reminds me too much of the E-TEC.

Curious why you hate your 1400 hour E-ETEC? I agree the difference in fuel economy is drastic. I've posted questions on here and elsewhere wondering if my hull is waterlogged or something making it super heavy, but based on feedback based on info I supplied, such as top speed, folks don't agree I'm...

Hi Jim, Thanks for the reply. Please see my answers below: Oops...missed that on the Rev 4 prop. It's a 14-5/8" x 15p Re the Yamaha F300: please tell us the following information about this engine: What is the maximum propeller diameter aperture? HMM...CAN'T LOCATE THIS INFO. BUT IT'S YAMAHA'S ...

I'm getting ready to re-power my 1988 OUTRAGE 22 Whaler Drive. I have a deposit down for a Yamaha F300. Give me recommendations for a propeller. I would greatly appreciate any input. Here is some data about the boat performance with its current engine: ⋅ engine: 2006 E-TEC 200 H.O. about 1...

I have an [1988--please use four digits for years] Outrage 22 Whaler Drive with an [2006 E-TEC 200 H.0. engine with] 25-inch shaft. I need advice on propeller selection. The engine mounting height is good. The current propeller is a REBEL Rebel 15-1/2 x 17. The engine can only accelerate 4,900-RPM o...
