    No doubt. I forgot how much more gas the 2-strokes used compared to the 4-stroke. I had a 4-stroke 40 hp before going back to the 2-stroke and was able to go 2-3x as long before refueling as I am...

    Yes. I did search CL and NADA before I posted here. CL had nothing and the NADA seemed low based on what I've been told.

    Yamaha 2-stroke value?

    Posted this question over on the Main Forum but apparently nobody visits that forum.:D

    I have a 1987 Yamaha 30SH (2-stroke 3 Cyl) in excellent condition with a new stainless prop. Good compression...

    Thanks. Been searching for something smaller that I can mount inconspicuously. I don't really have a good place to mount a large analog tach like that as I stripped the boat of all the internals. ...

    Really? Hate to spend $300 for a tach. Wanted something small like the TT as well. Does Yamaha make a small digital tach similar in size to the TT? What's different about the Yamaha tachs?

    What are you using for the lower unit Ratio in that calculation?

    Alright, finally got the boat back on the water to check the RPM's again. Something just doesn't seem right though. With the TT set at 3p1r as Bill suggested, my RPM's range from 400(idle) to...
  11. Will do. Thanks for the help.

    Will do. Thanks for the help.

    Understood. That was my plan. I only took the throttle up briefly to see how high the readings were. I didn't run it there without a load for more than a few seconds. I'll take it out on the...

    [QUOTE=Bill Van Steenwyk;146948]
    Thanks. Exactly the information I needed. At that setting on the TT, RPM's are 650-700 at idle. Sound about right? Haven't taken it out and run it WOT yet but...
  14. Sorry for the delay. So, it appears that the TT...

    Sorry for the delay. So, it appears that the TT was on the wrong setting as my idle RPM's were running about 2050. Problem now is I'm not sure what setting is the correct one. The TT has settings...

    Hadn't really considered that it might be the tach. I'll run it on the hose tomorrow and get back to you on the idle RPM's.
  16. Optimal RPM range for Yamaha 30 HP 2 stroke

    I recently purchased a used Yamaha 30 HP and after a number of boat mods and adding a Tiny Tach finally got it on the water to see what kind of RPM's I'm getting. This thing is running around 9000...

    How much of this stuff do you think I could reasonably do myself? I have never worked on an outboard engine before and don't know a lot about them. I used to do simple car repairs before everything...
