That'll keep you busy for a while!

I saw something on the web about yamaha stern drives saying that they were fine if cared for, but had a tendancy to blow gear sets in heavy load high torque applications - I think the one in question was fitted to heavy semi displacement fishing boat with big turbo diesels and snapping the throttles wide open finished the drives off.

As far as changing over to a merc is concerned, there is a company over here (coastal rides) that makes an adaptor plate to go from a volvo (biggest hole) to a merc (smaller hole), that would probably do it and be easier than trying to gla$$ the hole up, subject to getting it to the states from england.

I a$$ume you've all heard the song "Redneck Yacht Club" but if not, here are the lyrics. Seemed fitting to this thread.


i'm meeting my buddies out on the lake
we're headin out to a special place
we love that just a few folks know
there's no signing up, no monthly dues
take your johnson, your mercury or your evinrude and fire it up
meet us out at party cove
come on in' the waters fine
just idle on over and toss us a line

(Chorus:)
ba$$trackers, bayliners and a party barge,
strung together like a floating trailer park anchored out and gettin loud
all summer long side by side there's five houseboat front porches astroturf,
lawn chairs and tiki torches
regular joes rocking the boat that's us
the redneck yacht club

bermuda's' flip-flops and a tank top tan
popped his first top at ten a.m., thats bob
he's our president
we're checking out the girls on the upper deck rubbin' in 15 spf, its hot
everybody's jumpin' in
later on when the sun goes down
we'll pull out the jar and the old guitar
and pa$$'em around

repeat chorus

when the party's over and we're all alone
well be making waves in a no wake zone

repeat chorus

M3, it was a selling point as well,without those sloppy rubber mounts the motors buzzed so bad you could not use the mirrors.
Also was very cost effective for G.M. to get a tried and trusted "new" v-6 by chopping off the back 2 cyls.
Once they solved the vibe problem added fuel injection,they got the HP of a v-8 with the weight of v-6. 165 lbs. is a hell of a diet.
The last time I lost 165 lbs. it cost me 80,000 dollars and she still sends me E-Mail.

I think it's pretty interesting that the 4.3 actually has a balancer shaft spinning in the lifter valley to counter out the V6 vibration.

Sounds like their automotive manuals.. as for a "complete rebuild on this ,if ever needed.. might be worth watching for a distressed boat with a M/Cruiser drive and do the gla$$ work?

Steve , it has been my a sore spot with me for years,most of the outdrives out there have too big a cut out.Volvo/Penta,OMC Cobra, and the real Volvo had a larger dia.transom a$$y.meaning the "HOLE" is too large.
Not a big deal if you are a f/gla$$ guru, but a little mush for the average boat owner.

Thanks for the info Dr...kinda what I figured with the drive.. Lots of good info..as usual...

Do you know if anyone has service manuals available for the Yami?.... Also , Will a M/Cruiser o/drive interchange if ever any major problems with this unit ?

Not sure on the waterpump / valve covers yet..Been too cold to go digging to far into it just yet...

Steve, would really rather have seen a M/Cruiser spinning that prop, but we play the cards we are delt.
Yamaha jumped into the stern drive market with both feet and found the waters not as calm,they captured 20% of the outboard market very quickly,thanx to Mercurys expertise{Mariner]they came up to speed rather fast.
Mercruiser was not as generous with their knowledge nor the marketing practices,and found the profit margins too slim,so they are now out of the stern drive business.
my advice is to enjoy ,but be aware.Change l/unit oil at every 50 hrs.Run a Alum. prop, in case you whack something, you can buy a prop cheaper than a "Gear Set".
Would advise you use the M/Cruiser sythetic oil, a little higher in price but worth it in peace of mind.Is there a raw water mounted inboard,they came both ways,most had a Johnson or Jabsco, but some had a pump in the L/unit,either way change often.
The Vortek was stamped on the plastic valve covers,it also has a balance shaft and the same HP as the 5.0 ,210 with less weight.
MR43T spark plugs,they are S/S and wont gall in the plug holes, also AC oil filters only.I prefer the Castrol 20/50 or the M/Cruiser 40/50 blended oil.
Hope this was helpful, and not confusing.............boat dr

Dr ,
I was just joking about the exhaust...but my wife doesnt know that.. ..

as for the 4.3..Im not sure how to tell the difference? I think its carburated,if that means anything?

The outdrive is a silver,Yamaha..I didnt know they even made them? Hope they're ok...sure cant find much about them? Heres a pic ..altho,not very good,


     any info would be appreciated! Thanks!

62, did you get the Vortek or the 4.3 std. in your new ride.You don't have mufflers ,it has thru the hub exhaust, but a set of Diverters are easily installed, tho pricey.
I also a$$ume the thing has a "Black Outdrive"{Mercruiser} they are the only way to go,kinda like a Velvet Drive, almost bullet proof.
Do the normal maintainance things and they will live a long trouble free life,if you get stingy she will bite you in your wallet.
congrats on the purchase......boat dr
