    F150TXR Trim/Tilt system service?

    I've searched everywhere and find nothing about how and where to check/service the fluid levels in the trim/tilt system on this motor. It's just a need to know kind of thing, there is nothing wrong with the system. Thanks, Angler53

    F150 Yamaha bleeding black exhaust soot

    My F150TXR bleeds exhaust soot somehow either between the powerhead and the oil pan or oil pan to drive unit. It comes out around the exhaust relief port and all around the bottom of the plastic apron. The oil pan is covered in it. I clean it all off and within two hours run time it's all over...

    F150 4-banger water pump

    I've been noticing lately that the water flow out the pilot hole is strong but it's (for the lack of a better term) sputtering. I mean, it has a short break in the flow. I'm guessing maybe two seconds in ten. The boat does have a pressure gage and it holds between 18 and 20 psi at cruse power...

    Blisters in gelcoat

    I have a two year old Ranger boat. I took the boat to A fiberglass shop for a repair caused by an impact with a submerged tree. Once the boat was raised off the trailer we found many dime sized blisters on the hull where it sets on the carpet bunks. These blisters are in an area equal to 1 per...

    I've had a problem with my primer bulb not pumping up. This is a 2007 Ranger fish/ski 1850VS boat with around 130 hours.This motor has never failed to crank and run. In that 130 hours this primer has pumped up hard only two times. It doesn't matter if I check it before or after running the...

    F150 TXR Lower unit fluid usage?

    How often do these units require fluid to be added? I changed the fluid at 75 hours, time sense new. I checked it tonight and it took about 4 to 5 pumps to fill. Dummy me didn't check the amount in the container before adding any because I really didn't think it would take any. Its been run 27...

    F150 Exhaust leak?

    I have an F150TXR. There is a exhaust port just below the rear cowl lock. There has been this somewhat wet black substance bleeding down the back of the motor. It also bleeds out around the bottom of the plastic cover also. I took it back to the dealer last year during break in after a...

    Yamaha power control trim switch

    The trim and tilt switch in my remote control lever isn't working right. The tilt seems to work fine but the trim is intermittent. I have the manual but it doesn't have troubleshooting. It's under warranty but that's a 90 mile pull. Is there something an owner/operator can troubleshoot/repair...

    ? RodBolt

    What is the useful life of the yamaha 10-micron fuel/water separator filter? Those selling them say 50 hours or three months. Those using them say once each year. The reason I ask; I have a 2005 F150TXR 63P with 85 total hours, all in the last nine months. It got a new powerhead at 15 hours and...

    Question for any yamaha expert

    My Ranger Reata with an F150TXR came factory rigged with the motor set at the highest level and a 21 prop. It turned 6000 rpm but the performance was terrible. Yamaha exchanged the powerhead at 15 hours after the balance unit failed. They lowered the motor down and installed a 19 prop. The...

    Changing motor height

    I have an F150 yamaha 4-stroke on a ranger 1850 fish and ski. The boat came with a 21 prop and the motor all the way up. A yamaha tech lowered the motor two holes and put on a 19 prop. It will turn 5600 rpm with two aboard at about 48 gps. Problem is it makes oil. If I run it hard the oil level...

    Problem or not?

    I attempted to start my (warm) F150 yesterday and it locked after two rev's. I tried again and it started up normal and ran normal except the full throttle RPM. I ran it Friday and it made 5800 rpm. Saturday after the starting problem it would only turn up 5500 rpm but it ran good as usual...

    Yamaha F150 Durability/Reliability

    Who has them and how have they held up? My first one lasted 15 hours in four weeks of ownership. I purchased it new (Mfg 11/2005) in August on a new 2007 Ranger boat. Yamaha installed a new powerhead. This one is coming up on 12 hours and it's not doing well. It's making oil. It's venting oil...
