This motor sat winterized for almost 3 years during the pandemic. Pulled it out last summer and it started right up. (After pumping out the old fuel). Unbelievable boat.
Little trick about a Yamaha, instead of needing rabbit ears, there is a hose with a fitting that goes from the midsection into the bottom part of the cowling on the passenger side of the engine. All you have to do is unscrew it from the motor and screw it on to the water hose and there you go, water directly to your motor
Ross Mcallister This is used for flushing the motor while it is turned off only. please refer to below intruction from Yamaha owner manual: CLEANING COOLING-WATER PASSAGES Flushing device equipped model Perform this procedure right after opera- tion for the most thorough flushing. 1) After shutting off the engine, unscrew the garden-hose connector 2 from the fitting 1 on the bottom cowling. 2) Screw the garden-hose connector 2 onto a garden hose 3 which is con- nected to a fresh-water supply. 3) With the engine off, turn on the water tap and let the water flush through the cooling passages for about 15 minutes. Turn off the water and dis- connect the garden hose 3. 4) When flushing is complete, reinstall the garden-hose connector 2 on the fitting 1 on the bottom cowling. Tighten the connector securely. c Do not leave the garden-hose connector C loose on the bottom cowling fitting or let the hose hang free during normal opera- tion. Water will leak out of the connector instead of cooling the engine, which can cause serious overheating. Be sure the connector is tightened securely on the fit- ting after flushing the engine.
No no no no. That flushes the motor. It runs the water the opposite way. Don't ever do that.. damn internet is messing up peoples stuff because people that don't know anything is telling people what to do...
Any tricks to starting a 2 stroke vmax. I usually I have to push down the choke a total of 6 times for it to work 2 separate attemtps. sometimes 9 with 3 attempts.
I actually own this boat now...bought it from this fella 5 years ago and it’s still a beautiful boat
How’s the engine holding up?
Engine has been very strong! Normal maintenance items replaced, but haven’t had any issues with it.
@@russellshermer8114 The little spoiler on the shroud gives extra hole shot!
Still own it?
Sell it to me lol
2 stroke is a beautiful thing!

Joe Heinrich been doing it for years. Learned it from a Yamaha marine certified tech
Love tht sound
My 175 stalls one time then have to restart I dont think it should because it is direct injection but after is starts it runs fine
Wow nice
Very nice. Are these 2 or 4 stroke?
2
4 Strokes don't sound like that bud
that beautiful noise would only come from 2 strokes

That sound reminds me of hot rod

well, you could *hold* the choke in while cranking, it's not like a primer, you gotta keep the choke on
I thought it was fuel injected
Something is up. Even here in Oregon during the winter months, my VMAX 200hp starts right up without choke.
Откуда там вода?!?!?!
