need advice on used outboard purchase...

Electrical on a YAMAHA can get REAL expensive, REAL quick. May be a cheap fix, but without some testing couldn't give you much idea of it's condition.
 
I'll take a picture of the Cherry 2.4L 175 that I picked up . . . Not a spec of rust on the steering arm or anywhere else on the motor. Compression is perfect on this engine 125 - 130psi.
 
boat and motor...

Sorry it took so long to get back. I've hung the yamaha back on the 89 (ish) 20ft Mako.
Boat, motor and trailer (single axle) are for sale. Entire package is $6500. Boat itself needs a little love, but it's a solid hull. I would paint the deck. This has been a great inshore-nearshore fishing boat.

Bimini top, bow rail, (not mounted for shrimpin)

Motor runs strong and is clean. Absolutely nothing, I mean nothing wrong with this motor.
The only reason I'm selling it is I've upgraded to a 150 4 stroke courtesy of my Dad!
nada =$4200 on motor only.

Motor has Sea Star hydraulics on it. $300
Selling digital Guages with wiring. $350

Can't post any pics cause photophukit won't let me log in.
See gallery center console page 3 for motor only. Look for Whatknot...
 
Sorry - I've been busy here. The 1993 200 2.5L is gone, but I took in a pair of 1981 Merc 2.4L 225's and a set of 2000 150 2.5L Mercury EFI's are coming tomorrow. I'll get a picture of the 1986 175 up tonight. I might have another 175 shortly :)
 
big shrimpin .. thanks ..

i like the sound of the newer motors ... '86 is a little older than i would like .. pm me on what you have and what you are lookin to get for them, especially the 175 you have coming in and the '00 motors.

thanks and keep me posted ..
 
Here's the 1986 175 2.4L Mercury. They don't get any cleaner than this!!

Compression 125 - 130psi in all 6 cylinders.

1989 2.0L Mercury 135. It's a 20" motor, but I have a 25" mid that will swap. I can make it black or grey. Also a freshwater motor. Compression is 115psi in all 6.

$1600 for the 2.4L 175 or $1800 for the 2.0L 135.

The 2000 150 EFI is rebuildable and I'm going to save that for myself.
The other one is sold already.
 
If it were for me, I would go with the 135. It appears to have the 40 amp charging, and you can't beat a 2.0L for reliability and durability.
 
a couple of things .. do you have pics of the hoods ?

which one is nicer cosmetically? want something that looks much newer than it is. i am very anal that way.

i am worried that the 135 will be too small for my boat. not sure what the perf difference will be from the 150-175 hp.

what comes with them as far as prop / and or controls. or do you have these items and how much additional ?

also, how would we work out delivery? will try to get back to you asap. . i am on vaca this week and not on the computer as much lately.
 
and basically the only diff between a 135 and a 150 2.0 motor is the carbs .. how hard is it to get back that hp?

Find a saet of 150 carbs. The 135's are the same engine as the early 150's. When they went to rating them at the prop the 150 became a 135, and the 175 became a 150. So just find a set of late 80's 150 carbs or early 80's 175 carbs. I don't remember the exact WH number on em right now.
 
I have a set of 2.0L 150 carbs that I'll include with the deal if you want them . . . I'd recommend cleaning them first before bolting them on.

The exhaust tuner is different too. I can put a 2.4L 200hp tuner and that'll bump up the HP some.

********************************************************************
Personally I think you'd be happier with the 2.4L 175 . . . cause that's what I run on my boat.
 
It sounds like you want a newer motor, so don't feel obligated . . . I'm just showing you what I have. I'll make a run back to the shop tomorrow and get some photos of the cowlings. The lid for the mariner has the decals removed it's sea ray motor. The Mercury 175 is the clamshell style and it's in great shape for it's age. Keep in mind the 175 can easily be converted to the newer bucket style cowling with the hard mounts. I have a decent 1998 135 Mercury cowling now. Controls are included (they are NOT new, but they work)

I can deliver for roughly $250 and hang either motor. What town are you in again?

I got an 1989 175 in yesterday, but it's not ready. Steering arm is very rusty.
 
how bout a ss prop?

pics would be great ... also pic of the newer style cowling.

i am in effort, pa .. pocono mountains .. about 8 miles south of the pocono raceway if you are a nascar fan.

i am no where near ready for motor to be mounted ..would meet you somewhere rather than have you come all the way here.

i just worry about a motor that is that old ... but you would know better than me what goes wrong with these motors ..

maybe technology is not that much different from a 1993 motor to a 1986 motor ??
