They didn’t hit anything…..a part blew out from the inside. Still a mfg issue…..However, with thousands of these things being made, there are bound to be a few problems here and there.

wazup3333 mines been out of warranty for years. The only “major” issue I’ve had is the fuel pump go out, but it actually turned out to be a collapsed fuel line that was causing fuel restriction. Ended up replacing the fuel pump anyway because it was already apart and I chalked it up to “preventative maintenance”.

Those lower ends are sacrificial pieces, they're designed to basically 'self destruct' to save the rest of the engine in the event you hit something at high speed. I've done something similar 2x, once on a 37 Outrage Whaler at 45kts with the middle engine, and again on a 31 Everglades on the starboard engine, both times it did it's job and saved the rest of the engine from major damage. Both times also happened to be Mola Mola that we whacked, those beasts are hard to see when the bow is up!

@kellymchenry1944 5 лет назад

wolfe fishes funny you should say that about research. That boat will plane with one 300. The reason for dual engines is two fold. One is for safety, if one goes you have one to make it back. The other reason is two motors will push that boat easier than one. They will turn lest rpm and get better fuel economy than one. Over time those motors should last longer

@ianmoone2359 6 лет назад

Being the port engine, it’s probably the counter rotator, which have a extra cog in the lower unit, to reverse the direction of final drive, so the prop spins opposite way to the starboard engine prop. It looks like it spat that extra cog out through the lower unit gear casing. That suggests maybe there was no oil in that lower unit! You’d expect with HP 80/90 gear oil to have seen a pretty big oil plume on the water where the engine went boom. I didn’t see that, which makes me question, did the mechanic servicing the motor maybe forget to top off that lower unit with gear oil? Pretty unusual to blow a lower unit in under 12 months on a new Yamaha OB like that without there being a causal factor like no oil. OMMV.

@gabbermaikel 6 лет назад

i tought the same. Even when they lifted the engine up no oil on the water at all. I have let a few drops of oil hit the water and that was very visible allready. Imagine dumping 2quarts? of oil in there. And even when there is prettymuch no oil left, if you tilt it like that there wil stil be coming oil out of there. So i think you might be right, it might have run without oil

@blairbrockinton2500 6 лет назад

ultimatejay that’s what I thought too. That hull must be way heavier than it looks as they said were only limping along on 1 motor or maybe just took it easy so motor 2 didn’t fail in a similar fashion. MAGA

@mcplutt 6 лет назад

Probably to heavy propped to plane on one engine only. If they could switch to a smaller prop it could have worked.

@sailorkid94 6 лет назад

But one of the biggest points for two engines is redundancy. If you're 25+ miles off shore, VHF's don't have great range, if your radio does work you'll be waiting hours for towing, and EPIRB response is at minimum 3-6 hours after the plane spots you. Having a single engine offshore just isn't very comfortable. Albeit they weren't very far but it's still a factor.

@dancheesman1752 6 лет назад

sailorkid94 I do agree, but there are a lot of single engine commercial boats in the Northeast Canyons. Up here there are people in 20’ single screws fishing 20 miles off.

"Limping" back with 300hp on soap cup? Well I have 28hp on a 10 ton boat :)

@Cammo-vp1gl 6 лет назад

At least you had a second engine to get you home! My MerCruiser 260hp shit itself after a rwc blockage 42 km south west of Portland, Victoria, Australia. It was a long tow back by the Coast Guard. Anyway, at least I now have a new 300hp 6.2litre MerCruiser. Work sux, I'd rather be fishing....

@gatewaymofreight 6 лет назад

saw a lot of lower unit trouble Yamaha. Shafts are too soft, not hard. IDK why they not perfect this issue. The new Evinrude's I did not like at first, but the new Space age looking motors rock. Suzuki, Yamaha and Mercury to stand up to them bad boys

i think that the mechanic might have forgotten to replace the oil or the gearbox may have had a leak that was not totally visible where the oil slowly leaked out as you drove. i had a blown gearbox before when my mechanic forgot to replace the oil after changing it and after just 10 min of cruising, the gearbox blew...

That smoke is a lot of money for the owner. Yamaha should cover that!

@fiveowaf454 6 лет назад

I don't understand all the smoke coming out, something had to be was very hot in the final drive before it broke the casing, so either no lube, or something way too tight to get it that hot.

Shift link. Did the same thing on my last Yamaha. 1985 70hp. They use th e same setup. Odds are the shift pen slide out and clipped the pinion gear. It happens. On my new f115 I get the lower checked every spring.

Two engines mean two times the chance of engine failure. Add Yamaha to the mix and make that four times.

@vincentrobinette1507 Год назад

At least, with two engines, they could still get back to shore. If a single large engine fails, you're "dead in the water". You ALWAYS want an alternate means of propulsion, especially, in a boat like that, that's too big to paddle. Having more than one engine is the ideal solution.

@t26803 3 года назад

Seeing how everyone is guessing beyond the info given in video I may as well, Lower unit went out, hmmm most likely braided line cut through seal letting saltwater in and gear case lube out, causing unit to cease up. Whit smoke nothing to do with motor its self and no reason for gear case in lower unit to break if it's the motor. New lower end and go fishing. Take prop off in future and check, it will save money.

@FTATF 5 лет назад

Okay, I have to comment. First of all there is a lot of anti Yamaha in this video and in the comments. If you know of a lower unit that wont go out then I would love to know about it. This isnt really a reflection of Yamaha since this happens with all of them. I still think something was hit, but even if it wasn't that's the ways she goes sometimes. I've ran a lot of outboards of various make and model and the only unit I've ever had go without hitting something was a left hand rotation unit and that happened on both a Mercury and a Yamaha to me. 75 percent of my hours are on Yamaha. I have maybe 15,000 (30,000 really since there are usually 2) hours, so not as much as some of you guys but enough to know that these outboard issues are pretty much universal. I will give mercury the nod for sweetest outboards these days if iam forced to answer, but Yamaha makes a hell of a durable product for sure.

@mrwilljones3015 6 лет назад

Hate to say it but.......a bad day on the water beats a good day at work. My first boat had an mercruiser inboard/outboard motor 140, I swear that boat was allergic to water. I own a 24 ft. Yamaha SX240 HO twin engine jet boat now.

@patrickrolf482 5 лет назад

So tell the truth you left the drain plug out or never refilled the lower unit. We all no Yamaha doesn’t break down there bulletproof

@TheFishingMommy 6 лет назад

Yikes!! That’s not good news for the captain. Sorry you guys had to cut short your day of fishing. I think I’ll stick to kayaks & rowboats!!

@therealdeal6846 5 лет назад

Hope you've warranty on that engine...not laughing I'd be gutted if that happened especially the fact the motor is so young!!..hope you got the problem solved?..either that replace both with a 7marine?627hp outboard?

@vincentrobinette1507 Год назад

This shows the advantage of two smaller engines, as opposed to one. They had the other engine to limp to shore. If they had one large engine and it failed, they would be "dead in the water". I like the redundancy of two engines!

@raydownes3289 6 лет назад

I personally have 100% coverage for this kind of accident. My motor isn't a 30K but it cost 4,500.00 for E-Tec 30HP man outboards are expensive but I have a 10 year warrantee.

@kodiakpredator 6 лет назад

You paid too much for your Yams to begin with. Should have gone with the Suzuki 300’s. I’ve seen some with 10,000 commercial hours with no major issues When you reengine that’s the way to go. Stay away from the 350’s. Too loud and poor fuel economy despite the reduced rpms.

@trentmiller7532 5 лет назад

The worst part of offshore fishing is having 1 engine and breaking down lol.

@jackfetter 5 лет назад

$30K?! I'm sorry, that's total BS, there is not $30K's worth of engineering or product there, what the hell, is this what outboards now cost?! Maybe for both but F that, if this is what it costs then boating has become an grossly inflated activity/hobby...

@adamraber9945 5 лет назад

Jack Fetter right around 100 bucks per hp

@cats400 5 лет назад

Nope. $30K each. Boating is not a cheap hobby. It can be, but you aren’t getting a rig like that.

@holdengts8620 6 лет назад

Can you do a part 2. would like to know in a bit more detail what happened and warranty etc, as I have a new yamaha only a 50 hp tho. what warranty do you get in the states here in Australia we get 6 years if serviced by the seller every 100 hrs or 12 months.

Nothing to be proud of, poor operator / owner maintenance is all. Has nothing to do with the motor, just laziness in removing the prop and checking for entangled fishing line after every use. A blown seal lies on the owners head, not Yamaha.
