    95 Yam 175 Trim/Tilt locks in up position

    When my 95 Yamaha 175 is raised all the way up it gets locked in that position. If I lift the engine up and down a couple times by grasping the lower unit, it will engage and drop down using the power trim/tilt. Is there an adjustment to limit the tilt range or is the trim/tilt motor in trouble?

    1995 175 Yam repower to 200 Yam 4stroke opinions

    I have a 1995 Grady White 208 20.5' Cuddy Cabin, which is currently powered by a 1995 175 Yamaha. Looking at re-powering with a 200 Yamaha 4-stroke. I currently get about 2MPG with the 175. What range could I expect with the 200? I'm concerned about the extra weight of the 200 and its effects on...

    I am looking at repowering my 20' Grady White with a Yamaha 150 four stroke. Boat currently has a carbed 1995 175. This motor provides good horsepower and cruise speed, but is a real gas hog. Opinions on whether new 150 is enough power for this heavy hull? Will range really be 2.5 times or more...

    Fuel economy of 1995 Yamaha 175

    I am running a 1995 175 Yamaha on a Grady White 208 20.5'. This is a new boat for me and had not been used in the past two to three years. In wind/chop conditions it appears to get about 1.8MPG and in good conditions about 2.2MPG. Does this seem about right? Should I factor about the same...

    Wondering what experiences others have had. I recently purchased a 1995 Grady White which had multiple plastic thru-hull fittings at the waterline. I had inspected them and although somewhat weathered/chalky looking they appeared to be ok. After launching the boat for the first time I noticed...
