Great video. No bs and common sense instruction from someone who knows their stuff. Thank you

[@SWCFLORIDA]

I’m glad it helped you out. Check out some of our fishing videos

[@Matt-jm4be]

Best video I’ve seen in a while. Straight to the point with no bs.

[@SWCFLORIDA]

I appreciate that. Hope it helped you out

I could watch him wrench on boats all day. No fluff, down to business, talks like a real person

[@SWCFLORIDA]

I am a real person. 😁. Thanks for watching

[@Grumpyneanderthal]

It’s rare to find someone who actually knows the subject deliver it in a direct, “all you need - nothing you don’t “ manner. Well done!!

Thanks you

[@scottmitchell7002]

Awesome video!! Thanks for taking the time to show us how to keep our motors in top shape!

[@SWCFLORIDA]

Thank you for checking it out … look at some of our fishing videos. We are just enjoying Florida

[@nicstevens6499]

Wow... I've never worked on my Yamaha outboard, but after watching this I think I'd be pretty confident... Might bring in a buddy that knows what they are doing for the water pump though!! ahahah

[@SWCFLORIDA]

Hope it helps you out

[@LTZ_Z71]

As a first time boat owner with a 200 V Max SHO, this video was fantastic!

[@SWCFLORIDA]

Much appreciated. Just sharing alittle of what I’ve learned

[@SteveFromWyoming]

Jon that has to be one of the best how to's I've watched, even though I have a Honda it was very informative. And Kudo's to the videographer lady.

[@SWCFLORIDA]

Thanks Steve. I appreciate you watching it. Hope it helps some one out. All motors are about the same.

[@tommye77]

Thank you so much. Not going to pay a shop for these services as I can do everything here! Just never have done the water pump/impellar service before! Looks easy though! I’ve got a 90 SHO!

[@SWCFLORIDA]

Should be all about the same. Hope it helps

[@MILITARISTAGGRESSOR]

Если распредвалы у него такие же, как на ф115-130 сил,и нет задушающего рестриктора на всасывающем диффузоре, то можешь прокачать свой мотор путëм перепрошивки эбу, либо замены эбу на другое от ф130. Про распредвалы можно посмотреть по каталогу запчастей, если номера совпадают, значит распредвалы одинаковые.Привет из России!

[@dale3322]

Much appreciated brother!

Excellent video. As others have said, no fluff, silly music and all that jazz. Just great step by step detail. The video and audio is also great. Many times the audio on these 'how-to' videos really sucks. I'm getting a yamaha SHO next week. After watching this video, I'll feel less intimidated when it comes to doing my own maintenance.

Great video with very detailed step by step instructions. Thanks! Also, do you have any videos on troubleshooting or replacing the fuel pump on a vf155?

[@SWCFLORIDA]

Thanks for watching open help sorry I don’t

[@GO_OutDoors]

What no checking the gap on the plug's? That is one thing allot of people forget to do every year is to check and replace the lower unit oil and replace the water pump impeller. Great video Jon!!

[@SWCFLORIDA]

Thanks GO. Plugs are ready to go out of the box these days

[@GO_OutDoors]

@@SWCFLORIDA That's what they say! I have checked some and they where way off. You never know!

[@secretsquirrelflyfishing]

Just did the water pump thanks for the great tutorial! I would love to see a thermostat as its in a different location than the regular 115 non-sho and no one has a video on the 115hp sho...

[@SWCFLORIDA]

Glad it helped. Look our channel up. We catch a few fish

[@ALs-Outdoors]

Only 2 boat motors I've owned was a 1947 evenrude 5hp and a 79 Johnson 2hp... 😂 we did discuss if we could pull the 440 out of the 1970 roadrunner & put it on a jonboat but we waited till we sobered up & here we are... 😂👍

[@SWCFLORIDA]

I’ve owned about every kind of outboard there is. This Yamaha is the best by far

[@reynaldoperez2820]

Great video...I appreciate the knowledge charing. Thank you.. Quick question do you service the fuel filter too?

[@SWCFLORIDA]

The water separator filter. Yes

[@thecentralscrutinizerr]

I just repowered my 21' CC. Went from a Yamaha 150 Two Stroke to a Yamaha 175 VMax SHO. Replaced the old wire steering and put on a new Sea Star hydraulic steering and Linco Electric Trim Tabs. Engine currently has 45 minutes on it, so I have to break it in for 10 hours. If you ever get up to Southeastern North Carolina around the Sunset Beach area, let's go fishing and tell lies about the one that go away.

[@SWCFLORIDA]

About the same upgrades I made to our boat. We have done a lot of redfishing in the Topsail area. We are from NC originally. Same to you…if you make it South ..hit us up

[@thecentralscrutinizerr]

@@SWCFLORIDA Will do. I just checked the 10 day forecast and there's a lot of liquid sunshine over the next few days. Only two or three days when its not a high probability of rain. Of course, rain is only part of the struggle, the wind also has to be right as you well know. May as well stay home if the wind is blowing 15 to 20 mph. But April is just around the corner and the flowers, bees, and butterflies are on the way as well as 70 degree days and 4 MPH wind.

[@SWCFLORIDA]

@@thecentralscrutinizerr it’s always sunny in Florida ☀️

[@MILITARISTAGGRESSOR]

Надо было брать VF150 шо в макс, затем перепрошить эбу с программой от ф200, либо заменить эбу на эбу от ф200. Получил бы 200 лошадей с налогом на 150. А так у тебя сейчас 185. Привет из России!

[@LuckySuckerFishing]

Great video. I just purchased the same motor. What prop do you recommend?

[@SWCFLORIDA]

Appreciate you watching . It’s a great motor. We run a 3 blade Solas SS. 3451-139-19. It jumps up on plane with a great top end.. Check out some of our other videos. Hope that helps

[@tommye77]

Also have to ask- do you drain your oil each time or have you ever extracted it? There’s so many folks to tell me to not touch my drain bolt (I’ve done 3 change so far) and said overtime no matter how careful you are with torquing, it’ll eventually strip. I know manual says you can do either or, but torn on how to go about it in the future and if I have to worry. Thanks!

[@SWCFLORIDA]

I have never vaccumed one out ..I know it’s done a lot though…My years wrenching on many different boats I have never run into a stripped oil bolt. Sure it happens. As long as your getting all the oil out it should be fine. In my opinion

[@RaisedOutdoors]

Very informative and detailed! How often do you do your full service?

[@SWCFLORIDA]

Full service every 200 hours after all the break in. I change oil every 100.

[@RaisedOutdoors]

@@SWCFLORIDA I just changed my oil and motor is a year old, manufacturer has two or three different suggestions out so I was curious as to your method. My old bass boat (yes I use to bass fish a lot) I changed by impeller every other year and lower unit oil every year. But that was by my own thinking lol

[@SWCFLORIDA]

@@RaisedOutdoors I try to go by the hours. Some people on the water all the time 😏

[@tommye77]

Forgot to ask! When you tighten the 6 bolts on the lower unit (the ones visible), do those have a specified torque and do you just tighten enough like an oil drain bolt? Just prepping to do mine!

[@SWCFLORIDA]

I’m sure they have a specific torque. I just do it by feel.

[@congsan3528]

Great instruction video. Do you know the difference between Yamaha VMAX SHO vs Standard Four Stroke? Do you like the Vmax? pro & con? Thank you.

[@SWCFLORIDA]

Sho stands for Super high output. Supposed to fill the 125 gap. We love this motor. Very smooth running and hauls butt. We get 52 mph out of our boat. Thanks for watching

[@MILITARISTAGGRESSOR]

Разница в заложенной программе в эбу и по " железу "-- распредвалы и всасывающий диффузор может быть разным диаметром. Отличие в 10 лошадиных сил по факту у шо в макс 90-115-150-175, и 25 сил у шо в макс 200-225-250 от "простых" версий плм. Так же по налогам есть плюс, берëшь мотор меньшей мощности, например шо в макс VF 150 и перепрошиваешь ему эбу на 200 сил( либо покупаешь эбу от ф200, переставляешь его на вф150 ) и получаешь 200 лошадей в итоге.Привет из России!

[@jetdriver26]

I'm installing a Yamaha hour meter in this very engine. The plug wires are obviously different than what I'm used to, and they seem to all be tied into one bundle. I'm assuming I wrap the meter lead wire around the single bundle? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

[@SWCFLORIDA]

I’m not sure with our looking

[@davidbryson9]

I have the same motor with low hours. Is the low sounding knock normal coming from the motor in idle? I know the ticking sound is normal due to the injectors. Was just curious because I noticed yours sounds a lot like mine which makes me feel better about it now.

[@SWCFLORIDA]

Yes that’s the normal sound of that motor. We love it

[@michaelwilson486]

Sorry but I have to ask. When you unscrewed the gas filter assembly and replaced the fuel filter, why didn't you dump the contents of the fuel filter assembly ?? There would be crap that was filtered and still in there and the o-ring ?? Wouldn't you put a new one??

[@SWCFLORIDA]

I haven’t had an issue with the o ring …and yes. If you feel better dumping the gas in filter. Then dump it. Thanks for asking

[@cassiehaire]

Do you use the regular gear oil or the HD for the lower unit?

[@SWCFLORIDA]

HD

[@yunierperez8987]

I bought same kit but yamaha recommended hd gear oil for lower unit

[@SWCFLORIDA]

Sounds good

[@wayneallen3419]

What prop are you running on your motor? My boat is in the shop right now getting a new 115 SHO. I have a Ranger R72 and I will have to figure out what the best prop is. Would you have any recommendations?

[@SWCFLORIDA]

Thanks for comment and watching. I run a Solas 3 blade SS. 3451-139-19. It’s jumps our boat up in shallow water with the quickness. Maybe that’s a place to start. Enjoy your new motor

[@wayneallen3419]

@@SWCFLORIDA I will certainly keep that in mind. Thanks much for your response!👍
