    Pressure (peeing) with hose attached

    Put the ears on the Vmax 150 today and the pee is strong from the tube, but there was no reading on the pressure gauge. I removed the cover to the pressure control valve and checked the spring and valve. That was all I did. I got the hot light a few years back and the pressure control valve was...

    Find My Topic

    I started a thread asking about a Yamaha tilt/trim part. Someone replied with the correct diagram that included the part I needed. How do I find my past posts so I can retrieve that reply that I'm looking for. I can't seem to find my thread history. Thanks in advance

    Tilt/Trim seal parts

    I have replaced one of the trim seals on my P150TLRW, having to buy the screw (cap) due to destroying the original from it being on so long. The seal on the center shaft i starting to leak a little now, and I want to replace the seal. Looking on the parts diagram, I don't see the cap being a...

    Heat Buzzer Yamaha 150Vmax Outboard

    Tell me if my speculation is correct: Put boat in the water. idled away from ramp as I was getting rods and reels ready. About two or three minutes out, I got the buzzer. I shut it off and used the trolling motor to fish the park. It's a no wake lake regardless. I thought it might have been low...

    Lowrance HDS8- What Generation Unit Do I Have?

I was told if the Lowrance is a Gen 2, it will say Gen 2 on the start up screen. Mine says nothing about that, so I'm assuming it's a gen 1. Looking at the...

    Gear Lube or 2 Stroke Mix?

    It's a new lower unit. Saw this leak. Pulled lower plug on lower and did not observe any water come out. This fluid looks and smells identical to the lower lube, and it looks and smells identical to the Yamalube 2 stroke fuel mix as well. I have heard that the excess, unburned fuel mix can exit...

    NGK Marine Plugs

    Re: NGK Marine Plugs The marine plugs look like the image below. Seems like the good thing is you would not have to worry about gap setting. Maybe this could be the reason (some engines may not accept the gap setting) Just a speculation that just now hit me. I hear they fire great....Any ideas...

    NGK Marine Plugs

    I was told to make sure I could run NGK marine plugs before I install them because some outboards specify not to use them. I don't understand the logic behind possibly not being able to use them, but I'm gonna ask anyway. I'm running a Yamaha Vmax 150 2 stroke. It's a 1998 (serial numbers...

    Finding your year model and engine by the numbers on your motor.

    These two links below I stumbled upon helped me out drastically and I thought I would share. The PDF file is a guide to tell you the specific Yamaha motor you have on your boat. EX. The Numbers on my motor are P150TLRW (use my numbers and look at the 1991 to 2005 chart)... Looking at the...
