Thank you this video saved me alot of money.🎣👍

[@keithvanderee6496]

Hot (medium) water is best for dissolve salt. I have installed a hot/cold water mixer tap outside for flushing. I avoid chemicals as they can damage the interior Teflon engine coating over time. Always flush for a few minutes before starting engine. Top flush is best to avoid any particals being lodged into engine.

[@jamesjannell8706]

Nice tutorial sir. Thanks.

[@SuperHOGGA]

The rectangular ear muffs ( brand new) dont seal properly on my 65 Yammy and will not pump the water through the telltale. I tried squeezing them together and putting them in hot water to soften them up a bit. Still no good. I borrowed an old round set from a mate and they picked up the water straight away and pissed it strongly out of the telltale. Anyone want a brand new used once pair of rectangular earmuffs for free ? Would it be a good practice to leave the motor idling for a minute or so after the muffs are removed so as to pump out any water still remaining inside the motor ? ( Obviously turning motor off as soon as the telltale stops running. )

[@kyliezammit80]

Thanks for the video. Just a curiosity. I have the same motor and as shown in video like mine it vibrates a bit. Is it normal or is it to worry about or its a normal thing on oUtboard. Thanks

[@mitchellluxton7471]

Kylie Zammit hey mate it’s just cause it’s running all outboards do this no matter how big or small

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

Prop shaft Put something in middle of prop shaft and spin prop if shaft moves it shaft Or prop has damage Or it’s rooted Lol

Hi there. I have a brand new 2021 F25 Yamaha and was wondering if the water pump gets any water through it using the easy hose connection. Very helpful videos. Thanks so much from a Florida viewer. 👍

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

Yes The grease was flush is all you need to do Remember do not start motor simply tur. Tap on and fun for 5 minutes

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

Yes it does Yamaha wants you to only use fresh water flush

[@surfworks]

I've forgotten to screw the cold flush cap back on once or twice when running the motor with flush muffs and water from bottom up, what are the affects of doing this ? I do know when doing this, water comes back out the cold flush pipe...usually shut it down after about 30secs...model is 2016 F130hp 4 Stroke.

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

What the ? Why flush muffs- there a problem not solution If engine didn’t get enough water it will over heat if hot enough engine will go into limp mode before any real damage The fresh water flush is all you need to wash salt out of motor And you don’t start it just let water flow

[@yusufsaleh5445]

hi there ,what are you spraying on the motor ?dw50?

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

Yamaha silicon spray

[@nickkostakis9600]

Great video very interesting I have learned some things today thank you very much for a wonderful show. From Sydney Australia 😊😊

[@Max-kw4px]

I thought the engine block itself is supposed to be sprayed with Yamashield (similar to Boeshield T9) while the Silicone spray was more specific for rubber seals/gaskets/etc (silicone is a great rubber conditioner and prevents cracking/drying/etc).

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

Wow all true but not Yamaha make protective lubricants for many purposes When your leaving an outboard for months on end you do a different process but for normal proventitive Maintanence yamaha recommend their proprietary silicon spray And I can tell you it works a treat and will keep your motor looking new For long term storage we recommend flogging motor internally with another yamaha product

[@victorioane397]

thanks for kind advise ideas to maintain y/motor I have 556 marine sprayed on my motor

@Dustin Demetrius It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my account!

@Kane Dario Glad I could help xD

[@billwest5330]

What’s the time span on how soon after removing from saltwater does this need to happen?

[@willwenis4728]

bill west I think as soon as possible

[@blaster-zy7xx]

Best of done at marina or when you get home in the driveway. If I bring my boat in at night, I'll flush it the next morning. That is as long as I wait. You don't want the salt drying onto internal surfaces or starting the corrosion process.

[@whippee2]

Thanks for the video. Which flushing method does Yamaha recommend? Thanks

[@whippee2]

@21tjd Excellent, thanks for the reply. That is the same motor we have. Ours is a 2017 model with 25 hours on it. We have been doing the cold flush on it. Very happy with the engine

[@whippee2]

@21tjd Thanks. new motors meaning...?

[@dereksmith30]

If you run it in salt water you want to flush through the intake ports with muffs squeeze inside the hose a little dawn dish soap and run till clean water runs out! Been doing this for years on all my boats and water craft and the water jackets in the heads have always been very clean with almost no salt deposit!

[@retix11]

No saltaway used?

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

Yamaha has a patient alloy rd30 It’s the reason they don’t corrode like the other brands

[@aaronbyers1391]

What type of silicone spray is recommended for marine outboards, particularly Yamaha?

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

Yamaha silicon spray All yamaha lubricants and protective sprays are the very best quality possible and are priced lower than they would be if another brand

[@alzainea1658]

Whats the name of the actual product you are using?

[@davidbee8178]

As far as I know, it is the recommended Yamaha Silicone Spray - formulated by Yamaha to prevent corrosion while NOT damaging rubber seals and hoses

[@th3smurf692]

Yamalube

[@marchbah]

Shouldn't you flush the engine then wash it down then apply the silicone protection? I ask this because wouldn't the silicone make it difficult to wash off the salt? Just asking.

[@nikolaskostov84]

marchbah 3.44sec he mentiones after you come back out of water how to wash it

[@treydrier3169]

Yes

[@Michael-dr6ot]

brand new engine

[@blaster-zy7xx]

Yes, you are correct. I do exactly what you do but add a little salt away during the flush.

[@ryandeluck6845]

If the boat lives in the water and I'm flushing from the top attachment is it a bad idea to flush it with engines titled up?

[@blaster-zy7xx]

flushing with the engine up is fine. Also use a salt remover like salt away along with the mixer that comes in the kit.

[@markhopkins76]

I agree to drop the annoying music. Also, you skipped over replacing the inner bowl of the impeller housing. Great narrative and including anti-seize on the bolts is essential. Well done !

[@tydengr]

I wish I have place to store my boat

[@Munrubenmuz]

Wondering how long you are supposed to flush it for? Getting varying times from different sources.

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

5 minutes

[@Munrubenmuz]

@@BrisbaneYamaha thanks

[@WhiteBuffalo032]

You should run the engine long enough to open the thermostat

[@Munrubenmuz]

@@WhiteBuffalo032 and how long is that? And how do you know the thermostat is open?

[@WhiteBuffalo032]

@@Munrubenmuz mechanics recommend 15 mins. Full operating temp. Just fixed a big hole in block right past the thermostat. Previous owner just used the hose connection for ten years. That's what the owner's manual says .its wrong.

[@YaqoupMulla]

For how long I need to flush ? (first and second way )

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

5 minute with fresh water flush Until water is warm with muffs

[@hattube]

Would wd40 be inappropriate as a lubricant?

[@jimmyrecard6021]

Yes. it's not really a lubricant in the first place, it's more of a cleaner with lubricating properties. Use something like silicone lubricant

[@kizzjd9578]

My dad has been using wd40 for years and it does actually work.. but there are better products out there.

[@lali44444]

Hello! What propeller do you use for this motor (60 hp)

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

Yamaha 11G

[@lali44444]

​@@BrisbaneYamaha I am interested about the pitch of the propeller. I own a boat similar with the one in the movie, same motor with 11x15-G propeller, but the WOT is about 4900 rpm. I intend to buy and change the propeller with one 11x13 or 11x14. And I don't know which is the best choice. Thank you!

[@joelcr250]

dang, Ive been attaching the hose to the top connection (no muffs), and running the motor

[@treydrier3169]

One major point he missed is to make sure to flush it with Salt Away if you're in salt water. It removes the salt much better than regular H2O and provides corrosion protection. The salt literally melts off. You flush for a couple minutes with regular H2O then Salt Away for another minute or so. Do not flush again with H2O after applying Salt Away because of the corrosion protection from Salt Away. I will then rinse my entire boat with Salt Away including the areas around the motor that this guy points out in the video. Its the only way to prevent corrosion and it works.
