I'm planning to buy a 20' aluminum boat and am considering a Yamaha F150 4 stroke. This motor just came out but I was wondering if anyone has seen any information about it? I imagine it would be similar to their 115 hp motor and would like to know if owners of that motor are satisfied with it's performance?

Re: Yamaha F150 4 stroke

Hi,<br />I have read two short reviews of the Yamaha F150 4-strokes. They where in Swedish boat magazines so you will not understand a word unless You can Swedish... But the reviews tells us it is a 4 cylinder 4-stroke that is "very" quiet etc. Weight 212 kg. Some more info here: http://uk.yme.com/page.cfm?pageID=60171 <br /><br />Probably a good outboard but it is always a little dangerous to buy first Year of a new outboard model since it will be a risk there will be some problems not discovered Yet (=You or any other buyer may find some unknown problem with it - hope not...).<br /><br />I have a Yamaha F115 (2003) and I'm pleased with it and I have no problem recomending a Yamaha 4-stroke based on my (limited) experince with Yamaha so far. Bt Yamaha F115 has been on the market since 2000 I belive so it is by now a well tested engine.<br />/Bo

Thanks Bo. I was thinking the same thing about it being the first model. Hopefully they will reuse some of the tried and tested technology they have in the F115. Thanks

We had our injection cleaned last summer and she ran great. We went to a different Marine for gas and since then, it's been runnig rough. At WOW, I'll look back and it seems that the engined is shaking and under 5300 RPM - Boat is 20Ft Mckee, 17 prop and half tank of gas. Could it be a clogged injector or full pump?
Thanks for you help

You should start your own thread. This one is dead. I wouldn't put my phone number on the net, either. It's open to the public and preserved there a long time. People collect them and sell them to people who then bother you.
