Will My $700 Yamaha 90hp Outboard Run Again?

[@jackkitchin7292]

You should give us an in-depth view or insite of that boat, how it manages to hold a 90 without completely tearing the transom off is amazing

[@523FILMS]

Jack Kitchin lol it is amazing 😂

[@johncuervo3019]

Just don't get out of the hole to fast

[@fyescas777]

F=ma

[@corypatterson3072]

He's put 3 yamaha 90s on that before

[@devooski4751]

It's just a modified transom attachment with bolts. Usually they're online.

[@lizzard7473]

I couldn't help but be scared for your safety when I saw that 90 on the john boat. Super sweet deal for that motor. Great job!

[@Red.Hot.Chili.Beans63]

Amazed that boat's transom will take the weight and stress. I've seen videos from this guy where he's hung two and tree 25hps on that boat. Maybe he's reinforced it.

[@willwenis4728]

He’s put twin 50’s on the back before! Check his channel for the video. It’s crazy!

[@l.l.6407]

Didn't even wear the deadmanscord.

[@kennethdante]

wow man impressive how your competence makes you fearless just take the whole thing apart like it's nothin! Major knowledge-envy.

[@tonyvaldivia7300]

I'm mechanically inclined, just not outboard motor mechanically inclined. Your videos are great tutorials!!

[@vxnova1]

Agreed,

[@bubbie3533]

You sir are living your best life. Thanks for taking all of us on a little boat adventure. 🛥️

[@Le4dfoot]

I'd be wearing the kill switch lanyard, it might save you one day. Thanks for the great videos.

[@Johnsonfan169]

I don’t

[@chrismoses54]

Your videos and tutorials have gone up incredibly in quality! Keep it up!

[@bchaveezy]

Nice job man! Love seeing this kind of work done.

[@trevorhanlon8241]

Great work and best tutorial.I bought a 2009 40 hp Yamaha 2 weeks ago.Got it cheap as someone hit a car and smashed the motor at 60 kph.Smashed the trim/tilt so I removed it off and will not use trim .happy to show pics.Thanks for again Regards Trevor in Australia

[@keithyoung6651]

You’ve got a good life my friend. Count your blessings.

[@12againsports]

Great job! It is impressive that you went as far as pulling the power head and repainting it to make it all match. I am so like that you went ahead and got into the carbs to make sure they were good . . . because you are right it was the best time to do it. Incredible job!

[@solidtangent9953]

I’m excited I just picked up a 75HP Yamaha can’t wait to see it run

[@Berbat666]

Good job, great motor. Love 3 cylinder yamaha s. Have a 40hp, would like to upgrade to 70 someday. Dont forget the kill switch lanyard

[@michamatysiak724]

as I wrote in the previous comment, I bought the same engine. It fires up and works very well. Trim seals need to be replaced, I already have the part numbers from your movie. Greetings from Poland

[@thomasramagosa896]

Your videos always help me with something I'm doing somehow your lucky you live in outboard heaven. It's hard to find good motors and boats to make money on here in NJ. I do a lot of work on smaller Johnson outboards and Yamaha's outboards are just fun to work on.

[@daniellennon287]

The lanyard should be on your wrist Captain. Especially in a set up with you hand in contact with the engine.

[@robgug]

you definetly know your stuff, i have learned a bunch just watching you. great videos

[@chrislangdell117]

Great video. A little more detail on the how to side of the repair. This goes here. This lines up there. Identifying the parts as you remove them. I have worked on boats for years. Fiberglass, Gelcoat, floors, carpet. Never did any mechanic work except for basic service and winterizing. Seems like your pretty knowledgeable.

[@michaelaniszewski7089]

You made this Engine Like NEW Again Sweet

[@kitfoxjacob]

"repower takeoff" gotta love the truthful craigslist ads... nice video as always! thanks!

[@noobman1500]

Can you do a more in depth “tutorial” on removing the power head?

[@chriseisele9969]

Enjoy your videos ill watch them multiple times to gain the knowledge that you have thanks a million

[@wavehaven1]

Very cool...simple when there's no bs'n around. Tape the key to the shaft... or somewhere where you dont forget where you put it for safety !!

[@Klehocky1]

Nice job. I like how you show testing every motor that you repair on a boat.

[@crispernator]

Gday mate this is the same model i had in a 50hp it was on a chase boat up north and i had it shipped down , stripped the head of not to bad but looked like something had damaged the inside of the combustion chamber ,checked with a local mech he said nothing to worry about changed all the sacrificial anodes out and cleaned as much as i could up with a stainless wire wheel on my dremel put it all back together and ran like a top start first crank every time .

[@WTFIsThisGuyDoing233]

Man having the torque specs and on the pattern is a no brainier. Wish cars did this.

[@vxnova1]

So someone replaced the head gasket but didn’t notice the hole in the head. Or is it not obvious with the gasket they replaced

[@ThatBoatGuy]

I guess they did not see the hole in the head. I almost didn't see it also

[@DUKEisALIVE]

@@ThatBoatGuy How the hell did the hole even get there?

[@robbiehopper4121]

ThatBoatGuy I have a pontoon boat with Johnson 90hp 2 stroke. My problem is that three different boat mechanic can’t figure out why motor will throttle up with water phones on , but when I the boat is in water and motor is under a load will not. Starts right up and idles fine. Any thoughts?

[@ct1762]

@@robbiehopper4121 sounds like your stator or kill wire is shorting to ground somewhere. check and clean all ground connections. take the carbs off and make sure they are both clean, paying special attention to the low speed passages. then do a link n synch according to the factory service manual . i've fixed these issues many times. the problem now is its harder and harder to find a good 2 stroke mechanic.

[@VenturiLife]

@@DUKEisALIVE Hole was due to corrosion.

[@seafisherman8239]

Had the same problem before the summer few years back, hats off to ya you know your stuff👌 you were definitely around engines as young lad!

[@stevehogan8829]

Enjoy your vids. No boat, no motor, no mechanical ability. Still the vids are enjoyable. Thanks.

[@TechyRodsWire]

Amazing video and channel!!! Love how you go into detail fixing the boat and at the end we get to see it running out on the water!!! Love your channel dude

[@donaldyoung5473]

That was awesome! That was a great job on that 90hp Yamaha...thanks for sharing.

[@darwinward2635]

Nice rebuild man , good to see a cast away get tuned up like that and work that smooth

[@Fireship1]

Attention to detail. That’s what makes your videos awesome!

[@simoparnis396]

Your just like me my freind,, love the Yamaha,, l work on many of them so easy and simple heaps of conferdens and skill with your tools,, you just get into it and fix what ever needs to be done,, any thing under 60 hp dose not get hammered like the big hp moters so not much there to fix ,, l have to say that the worst thing to do to an outboard is to not use it ,, so most of the ones you find have low hours witch makes it a great byeing and great for making a small profit , love watching your hands go to work,, can you go up in hp ,, they do get heavy to move ,,, enjoy watching you at work l never get sick of you,, well done ,, simmo

[@lizzard7473]

Also, I saw that same add while looking for power options for my project. Turns out my power is just fine and did not pursue the add. Nope wasn't the same add. My bad. I might have made the 3 hr drive from here for it though. Nice find.

[@rbruce63]

What a babe of a powerhead and motor! I wonder Yamaha's choice of a three cylinder instead of a four cylinder in V configuration for these 70/90/115 motors was not the case, like the Johnsons of a near past!

[@Ken-fisho]

Good job Eric i have an 06 90 Yamaha with 65hr on it i luv it did buy it new dont use it much unfortunately but every 2nd month i will run it for 5 or so minutes 🇦🇺

[@rainerg2226]

90 hp with Tillerarm.........crazy!!!! Cool !

[@alexrotaru6616]

11:20 something flew out of that deathtrap of a boat

[@0090steve]

That big ass motor on that boat.....too funny.

[@casey2562]

I could watch this guy repair motors ALL day. MORE!

[@ErikISkogen]

Geeeez, in Norway i think the biggest «hand held» engine you can have is 25HP. Bigger sizes you need to have wheel. 90HP hand held sounds crazy ;)

[@RanochVTX]

Hey man I just want to say that I'm a beginner boater and you make it look so easy. Your videos are very entertaining.

[@rome121416]

Love the outboard videos. You do a really good job of explaining things. Awesome stuff 👍

[@whatsupshittafabraans1926]

Expensive paint in cost and effort, waste of time

[@thunderhead870]

I like the brand new big tiller handle. Same as my 2017 f75 tiller

[@Mdbutler]

Okay, @thatboatguy, you got some skills, is all these repairs, overhauls, etc... just for extra money enjoyment or is this your career? Thanks for the great videos. Learned a lot of the last few months I have been subscribed!

[@pauloshea5483]

I can’t stop watching these but haven’t even got a boat ffs 😂

[@accountingstepbystep2229]

Great job with the motor and great job making the video! Thanks for sharing!

[@hesterbotha2416]

Maybe you could give me advice, I have a 90hp Mariner,runs good for half a day then loses power drasticcally,sounds like she is smothering. Cars been done as well as the feul pump. Idles great. When she loses power and you put it in neutral and rev it by hand, it revs good.

[@stevenbrowning4706]

Thank for the tips. That boat and motor look like a fun combination

[@tuomaspetlin92]

Great. I just change impeller my Yahama 30 autolube. Runnin goog. You have great videos. Greetings from Finland

[@11SEXMACHINE]

Lol, I thought that was a pelican sitting on the bow at 9:44. Damn, this cabin fever is getting to me.

[@pauloshea5483]

😂😂

[@dmontenegro1]

Nice bro that engine sound so real good

[@thomasbonde2118]

Do you do more in depth videos? Would love to see you rebuild the engine with more details - next time maybe

[@geoffyoung3012]

Great video. Never been into boats until watching you. Keep up the great content.

[@richardbaldwin7210]

Great show I’ve learned a bunch, thanks!

[@dirttdude]

the most surprising thing about them Yamahas is the quality of fitment and refinement.... compare that thing to most outboards and its just nicer

[@Dovey14]

ThatBoatGuy is awesome! Very good videos. Makes me feel like I can do this myself!

[@ytboombox]

beautiful rebuild

[@ISCDESIGNAustralia]

incredible; that engine was D.E.A.D

[@jesteronetime]

Looks like a Yamaha cv .very good bit of kit

[@oneida80100]

Thanks again. I have loved your videos from the beginning.

[@VenturiLife]

Judging by the crazy corrosion, the previous owner didn't believe in flushing the motor after use with fresh, and just left it full of salt-water.

[@FDXman65]

I bet your flooded with work as good as you are

[@cameronmundy6768]

A Yamaha 2S is such a weapon I've repaired them in countless 3rd world countries in swamps, under coconut palms and everywhere in between. 10mm 12mm and a hammer if it doesn't want to cooperate is all you need.

[@monetprod1]

You are a beast man. Great videos!

Pretty awesome sir , a great walk thru..🤙

[@bingowhoisthisguy4574]

nice work fella. would suck me into a sale and i been doin it for 25 years!!!

[@sirlancair]

Good job. Did you remember to use antiseize compound on every bolt so the next person who takes it apart to fix a head gasket doesn't get the dreaded snap snap snap ?

[@floridasaltlife]

Always like these videos...Elbow grease pays well

[@Mrturbo135]

I have wachted your videos for 3 years

[@kenmazza1494]

You do have lots of talent. Have you ever put metal carburetor on a 1993 150 Johnson I cant stand the plastic ones I have

[@jw11432]

I wish vehicle cylinder heads were that freaking easy to get to lol

[@andrewhoggett8148]

great job the boat really looked like it was really getting along the water

[@adAlqubaisi]

hi there very good video made me thinking to paint my Suzuki DF175 also. but i have noticed that the cut off lanyard is NOT attached to you be careful and stay save. thanks nice day

[@nickbread1247]

Love your videos bro. Have a 25 merc efi. Wish I could find more yamaha outboards seem a prime choice for outboard.

[@atvman101]

Awesome man, watched all you restoration videos, when are you going to be restoring your jonboat????

[@jonclark9757]

Another great video..... Question, the saltwater corrosion you have with the replacement part, 1) What do you use to get bolts off without breaking them, 2) Do you remove the saltwater buildup inside the heads when you can or just leave it be?

[@wallybarbosa]

Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences with us.

[@mellemauotord725]

good job on that motor! nice boat too!

[@nobody46820]

Since you had the head off, why not put fresh, new rings on the pistons? Also, why not get the water channel(s) area in the head coated? (Zinc/other) When you/if you sync the carbs do you use a vacuum gauge? BTW your boat really seems to like that motor!🙂👍🏻

[@nosaj0026]

Love the channel buddy very informative keep it up

[@juanistella8469]

Great vid!! Thank you very much. I really learn watching your tutorials. It would be awesome if you could maybe now and then make a full length video of what to do (fromt top to bottom) when getting a used motorboat (2 and 4 strokes). You are very didactic and you really make it look so easy. Greettings form Argentina! PS: Maybe you should get one of those headsets to hold the camera for you. They look stupid, but they would make your vids look even better.

[@markcollier3737]

Do a video refurbishing the Jon boat it looks like a nice boat

[@percivaldesson3506]

That boat must go 55 60 mph 😳

[@401web]

I'm cracking up over here.. can't believe you removed the powerhead to paint it.... but good for you! Here's my question. You removed the carbs and flywheel before removing the powerhead then during installation you installed the carbs and flywheel prior to installing the powerhead back on the motor??? A bit confused? Could you have removed the powerhead with flywheel and carbs still attached? I've never removed a powerhead before that's why I'm asking.

[@07slowbalt]

You work on all brands and id consider you to be the restoration expert. Is there one brand you prefer over others? In example maintenance, parts, reliability? I love to hear an experts point of view.

[@hofnerbass]

You are amazing. Keep making videos so that we can learn from you.

[@michaelovitch]

Do you synchronise the throttle bodies ? I never see you do it.

[@grahammoore6386]

Fantastic buy, and now its a great running engine.

[@emmanuelvillanueva7599]

Love your videos brother hi From belize 🇧🇿👋

[@kamoboko86]

Where is the best place to find rebuilt powerheads? Like, is there a jasper for outboards?
