need advice on used outboard purchase...

Sounds like a bad stator on the YAMAHA, or something with the timing advance.

ferm ... something i should run away from .. or simple (read affordable) fix? i see he just put it up on ebay.

Electrical on a YAMAHA can get REAL expensive, REAL quick. May be a cheap fix, but without some testing couldn't give you much idea of it's condition.

[bsteckel]

ok ... will scratch that one off the list .

thanks

I'll take a picture of the Cherry 2.4L 175 that I picked up . . . Not a spec of rust on the steering arm or anywhere else on the motor. Compression is perfect on this engine 125 - 130psi.

that would be great!!! send it when you can, i would appreciate it.

Sorry it took so long to get back. I've hung the yamaha back on the 89 (ish) 20ft Mako.
Boat, motor and trailer (single axle) are for sale. Entire package is $6500. Boat itself needs a little love, but it's a solid hull. I would paint the deck. This has been a great inshore-nearshore fishing boat.

Bimini top, bow rail, (not mounted for shrimpin)

Motor runs strong and is clean. Absolutely nothing, I mean nothing wrong with this motor.
The only reason I'm selling it is I've upgraded to a 150 4 stroke courtesy of my Dad!
nada =$4200 on motor only.

Motor has Sea Star hydraulics on it. $300
Selling digital Guages with wiring. $350

Can't post any pics cause photophukit won't let me log in.
See gallery center console page 3 for motor only. Look for Whatknot...
