If you forced me it would be a yami…do the yamis need valve adjustments…i think they are belt driven…

they should be checked and yes on the belt,just like 50% of the cars on the highway…i am at 900 hrs right now on mine…waterpumps are the only thing besides oil/filter and plug changes that i have had to do…
i have been told the belts are easy to do.
these motors have lasted longer than 2 hulls and about 10-12 t-top welds…
Yeah…I’ve seen some 4 stroke Yamis on other Charter Captains boats running pretty rough…but Yamis are the best 4 strokes out there no doubt…I want something that smells…pollutes the water…and has to be pumped before starting…just old school…I am a 4 stroke hyper sensitive…

I like my 200ox66 but I don’t like the fuel economy.

One of my best friends owns a boat sales engine repair business. Done so for 20 plus years. I wanted to upgrade from two stroke to four stroke. His recommendation was only yamaha then he talked me out that too. you want crank and go…stick to a two stroke his reply.
I have a 2002 OX66, 250 horse, Saltwater II on the back of my boat. I’ve only had it since September, but I do like it. Never had an issue starting it up. I’ve even forgot to pump the bulb once or twice. It is not carbed, and for a two stroke, is pretty good on the gas. For instance, I can leave Remley, go to the near shore, then to some spots about 10 miles out, doing drifting, go back to Remley, and maybe use 1/6 of a tank or less. My tank is 105 gal., BTW. My boat is 22’ and I can get to about 38 - 42 mph on the water, depending on how heavy.

What about the EFI control units going bad?
