smoothly with no plug fouling issue. Using 80:1 semi synthetic oil. Will be switching over to AMSOIL Saber synthetic from next tank fill, still at 80:1 though. I also use 'Fuel set' by Liquid Engineering in WA. This keeps moisture and waxing contaminants at bay in your tank. Never had a fuel issue in 30 years of using this product in petrol and diesal engines. We also go up to the Gulf fishing, 70 to 90km trips daily.
Yamaha F40
Not bad – Smoother running, not as loud as other motor models and very very reliable. Its well-balanced efficiency from start off to full power on the water.… Read more
Between 600-900 rpm. Still got two options if you want to remote steer the motor or tiller steer. I go with tiller steer though. To me it feels rustic and old school that way. Aesthetically for the f40, it look nice and sleek than their first 40hp model
Yamaha 130B
Yamaha 130 betox – Excellent outboard, starts well hot or cold, I've owned two of them, one on a 20 ft rip tide plate boat giving around 22Lp/h at around 4000rpm, the… Read more

Yamaha F150A
yamaha 150 4-stroke has major issues – Yamaha outboards were the best outboard offered years ago but this no longer applies. I have owned 6 yamahas and make my living running them.… Read more
Corrosion in the exhaust is causing holes to develop in the block which leads to engine failure. Also the harmonic balancers have a nylon gear which is causing more engine failures. Also have a major issue with the bushing on the driveshaft. This causes your motor to vibrate, shimmy and make awful noises. Times have changed this is no longer the premier motor of yesterday year. Do yourself a favor and look at some other brands. Oh by the way you can always contact Yamaha directly because their customer service is absolutely the worst. They are a big corporation and they give you the impression they could care less. By the way without a doubt they will tell you the problems are your fault.
