    New F70 4 stroke or T60 4 stroke?

    I am ready to get a new Yamaha 4 stroke for my 18' pontoon boat. I would like to know if the lower unit on the new 70hp 4 stroke is the same as the high thrust lower unit on the T60.

    I have a 2001 40 hp 4 stroke Yamaha with very little hours on it. It starts easily and it idles very nicely at about 850 rpm. It runs good until I get the rpm's up to about 3500 and after a minute or two, it starts to hesitate and unless I back off it quits like it's starved for gas. It restarts...

    I need a new fuel filter for my 2001 40 hp 4 stroke. I found the part number for a Yamaha filter 65w-24251-02 or -10. Is there an after market filter that will work since I have to go fifty miles to a dealer and they want $22 plus $20 for a currier delivery. Thanks.
