As I understand it, that negative...

    Yamaha 150 smoke/smell on startup after heavy tubing

    I have a Yamaha F150 on a 22' Bennington tritoon. There are 115 problem free hours on this freshwater boat. Saturday we went tubing and I was pulling two larger fellows, running between 4,000 and 5,000 rpm. The next riders were two small girls at much slower speed. No problems, and we returned...
