250 Yamaha Outboard Four Stroke Starter Troubleshooting and Replacements 2007 model
The switch that is mentioned/shown in the beginning of this video is a common battery power control switch for the boats DC electrical system and is always mounted somewhere on the boat.
It is not part on the Yamaha engine or its starter.

[@chackney118]

I want my 9 minutes back. Was watching for the troubleshooting part. It never happened

[@NormanHirsch]

I saw somebody in my location which take out the starter motor and rebuild it. The similar thing i done was rebuild my 2 stroke 115 of trim motor which clean all the dust inside the motor and check the brush connection is good, put back together and i found it work well a long time. Is that can do the same thing when I getting starter motor fail also?

Hi, I have a yamaha f40f 2015, after the boat sink once due a big storm we get it back and worked totally fine until now, seems the bendix wheel doesn't work properly anymore. When i start the engine the bendix pop up but can't run the flywheel or actually can and then then the engine start but after a few stop and start doesn't work anymore...i can hear the click but the bendix doesn't move. If I leave the boat for several hrs the bendix engage or at least try, after I turn on and off several time it doesn't even move... Could be the key switch? Unfortunately where i live are no good tech guys and I am afraid to take out the whole bendix unit and send it to a the yamaha factory for inspection... any suggestion will be appreciate

[@jamesk400]

do you have a video of bench testing the starter?

[@mattiahjons6180]

Why when going up river does motor shut off put in neutral starts right up 2015 4stroke yamaha

[@petedieppe1107]

There was a switch that he talked about at the very beginning. it had a red plastic "key" . I have the same problem, but after replacing the starter motor and all the other stuff and am stuck trying to find that switch!!! Was that switch located on the motor itself or was it the key switch located at the helm???

[@Baseballcards23]

Did you ever find the switch?

[@terryleblanc6868]

So it was that switch.. starter tested good.. did not get to the end of it but why did you not test the switch first

[@delstep2255]

Can you tell me what battery cable specifications l need for a Yamaha 55hp 2 stroke motor?

[@dang-khoavo4648]

What was “bad” about your battery switch?

[@mojoriden]

Did I miss something or did he just take it out and put it back in. Where's the troubleshooting?

[@romp23]

He said in the beginning bad battery switch

[@MrWhothefoxthat]

i agree with you, what a croc of shit.

[@cedricdrouard3111]

Where can I find the electrique shema for 100hp Yamaha. please...I m actually in Flores, Indonesia..and have some electrique problem ....thanks

[@robertjarrell5195]

Shouldn’t you always replace starter and solenoid. I have 2016 300 Yamaha outboards. Does sitting up for long periods cause the solenoid to stick

The switch that is mentioned/shown in the beginning of this video is a common battery power control switch for the "BOATS" DC electrical system and is always mounted somewhere on the boat. It is NOT part on the Yamaha engine or its starter.Sorry about any confusion.

[@MultiBumkin]

love the video but how did you get the starter working

[@AnInnerCityKid]

The problem was the battery control switch mentioned above and the started was just fine.

[@MultiBumkin]

thanks

[@kilton2]

I know I would have dropped at least one bolt in the water. I have one that starts cold but will not start on a hot engine. Anyone with ideas?

[@jaisalmjaisalm7219]

Tanks for hallp

[@karensaber9405]

what was wrong with it? what did you fix?

[@AnInnerCityKid]

After removing the starter and testing it, the start was fine. So I replaced the starter and traced the problem back to a bad battery switch I mention at the start of the video.

[@TheHopetown]

Didn't he say it was the switch? Looked like a kill switch I have on a jeep

[@ianbardon8581]

So what was wrong with the starter, or was it a replacement ?

[@AnInnerCityKid]

As mentioned in the very first part on the video we found that the problem was not with the starter but with a battery switch that went bad. That switch would not allow sufficient current flow to operate the starter.

[@garrybeech4921]

Why not show bench test ?

[@chrismccartney8668]

Last part lots of background noise.

[@KenneyRawstron]

arms in the air...what turned out to be wrong???

[@terryleblanc6868]

I read in the comments it was the switch shown at the beginning of the video.. starter tested good..wonder why he didn't check the switch before taking off the starter..

[@KenneyRawstron]

@@terryleblanc6868 yeah...good point Terry
