| My buddy is looking at three used boats with Yamaha 4 strokes from 50-75hp. Just wondering how any hours is a lot for a four stroke - In particular a Yamaha. Would like thoughts and also opinions on these motors from anyone - especially Yamaha owners.
Thanks

Well cared for, I would expect 6000 hours or more from a good -stroke.
BUT, not all motors are well cared for.
Do a compression test. Every cylinder should have nearly the same PSI, and little or no leak down.
Test drive it. It should start right up, idle smoothly and sound "good" through out it's RPM range. |

| I have 2005 Alumacraft navigator with a f60 on it and I troll a lot and have never had a problem with mine, change oils every year and check plugs and seals. Ive had the seals in lower unit replaced and impeller but that's all. |
