Thanks for the video. Did mine yesterday. Took about 2 hours. Nice and quiet now. The original was really tight, the replacement had some slop like you showed. 2009 Yamaha F150, low hours.
Hey man I have 2008 too but it’s not making the noise yet! I’m not the first owner so I don’t know if they replaced it. How many hours did you have when you have to replace yours? Mine got 640 hrs
@@bestofmma7043 My engine is a 2006. The instructions for the change out are in the 2008 tech manual. Same procedure for all F150s. Mine wasn't as loud as the one in the vid but I changed it because I ran up on a bar hard. That has the potential to damage the balancer as it spins twice, or there about, the engine RPMs. The engine has 1000 hrs.
@@bestofmma7043 if you look at about 3:42 you can see the balancer pack, there is a small round piece in the casting with some numbers in it. Just above that you can see a stamped in number which states the generation of the balancer pack anything stamped 4 and above is good and has the oiler built in anything below 4 is the problem packs
Thanks for the video! Is that regular motor oil you're putt on the bolt threads? Also, how long did you wait for the sealant to cure before running the motor?
I had both mine done. 2006 twin 150's. Sometimes when I put the boat into gear both motors cut off like a light switch. They start right back up and run great. I had the balancers done as soon as I bought the boat so im not sure if it did this before. Any insight on why they may do that? thanks -Jared
Great video. Thank you! Do you have to drain all the engine oil before removing the old balancer, or is the static oil level below when it comes off? Hoping to do mine tomorrow…
Good job on the change out. Straight forward without all the stupid talk you'll find on other videos. What was the total time you had prior to having to change out? Just wondering

i have twin F150s m/y 04/05 on my grady with similar hours now- when i bought the boat the motors at 860 hours, the balancers were replaced once under the TSB, and they were so badly worn and out of time that the yamaha mechanic was concerned abotu premature main bearing failure. The motors had a slight but pronounced shake at idle and the balancers squeaked. If you havent replaced your balancers since new, you might wanna get them checked. They are considered a wear item now, some people say to replace them every 500 hours. I'm going to keep an eye on mine once i get to 500 since replacement and listen for squeaks...which will be ~1360 hours. Good luck.

Good to hear!
This was a really helpful video. Thank you! I replaced my balancer yesterday so I'm going to fire up the engine today.
Hope start up went great!
Thank you for doing this!
Thanks great info!! I’ve got an 05 F-150 and trying to figure out if I should replace it or delete it?
I heavily considered it, but I decided I wanted them.
Changed mine today. I have the 2008 tech manual but your video helped. Thanks brother.

What kind of gasket maker you have?
Thankyou for the tutorial!

realized I was just to sofft when shifting into gear. Gotta put it in like you want it to go in gear havent had a stall since.

No need to drain oil
Do you know if the “new and improved “
Part number ending in 04 will work for my 06/07 which calls for part number 02
Yes it will that's what I used and mine are 2006/07
How long you cured the gasket maker? I changed mine and cured it 24 hours and still leaks
I let it sit for 5 minutes before reassembling then I started it probably 3 hours later. Never leaked. Did you clean both surfaces really good?
Yeah I cleaned the surface cover sealant was new and the balancer. Don’t know why mine is leaking.
@@alexiejulius4927 what sealant did you use
@@big74blazer Loctite 518
What’s the red stuff on the balancer? Does it come with new balancer?
Locktite 518 and it does not come with the balancer

Under 400 hours
Great video
Thanks!
What sealant did you use and did you end up with any leaks?
This is the stuff Yamaha recommends and it had no leaks. Loctite 518 is the stuff

Indian Head gasket works great
Where did you get the service instructions?

My 04 Yamaha's 150s have 1100 hours on them. Is it possible i will never have this problem?
