New 150cc Owner

[Freejaybrd]

JUST WANTED EVERYONE TO KNOW THIS WEB PAGE HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL. I JUST BOUGHT A NEW 150 LOGIC WITH YAMAHA 50 TWOSTROKE AND HAVE BASICALLY BEEN PLEASED, ALTHOUGH I JUST NOW HAVE 11 HOURS ON THE MOTOR SO THERES STILL PLENTY OF TIME FOR SOMETHING TO GO WRONG! SO FAR THE ONLY PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN THE STRAPS ON THE LIVE BAIT WELL...THEY REALLY COULD HAVE COME UP WITH SOMETHING BETTER, MINE ARE ALREADY STARTING TO TEAR, AND ALSO MY RAISED TRIUMPH LETTERS ARE STARTING TO COME UP AT THE CORNERS BUT i PLAN ON LETTING THE DEALERSHIP FIX THIS NEXT WEEK WHEN I BRING THE BOAT IN FOR ITS FIRST SCHEDULED CHECKUP. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT KIND OF PERFORMANCE IM SUPPOSE TO GET FROM MY YAMAHA 50? IM 230 POUNDS AND I HAVE TO BRING MY RPMS TO 4500 BEFORE THE BOAT COMES UP ON PLANE, IS THIS NORMAL? ALSO MY TOP SPEED IS JUST THIRTY MPH NOMATTER HOW i TRIM THE ENGINE. ANY ADVISE WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

It sounds about right, what's thae numbers on your prop?

My 150 will give me just about 30 with just me ( I'm a little feller too at 265), fishing gear and a few fish, I'm runnin an 11 x 11 5/8 on a Yamaha 40.

I also have one of those Hydro fins on the lower unit The fin will get you out of the hole a bit quicker and save you a bit on fuel as you can plain at a lower rpm.

Make sure you have a good water fuel seperating filter on your boat with a ten micron element (I use a Raycor) And I also use Star Tron fuel stabilizer (The one for Diesel) and either Seafoam or Ring free all the time at one oz per ten gallons I swear by the stuff when you are using E10 fuel.

Other opinions about it may differ with mine but I swear by it and it keeps the boat out of the shop and running.

I have a 2007 150CC with the Yamaha 50, 2 stroke. Your performance sounds about same a we get. We usually run with with two of us and start out with a full fuel tank, fishing gear, etc. When we both sit on the console seat, you really have to give it the power to get up on a plane, after that it cruises right along. According to the GPS we get up to 34 mph. Although, we usually run about 25 mph, fuel consumption is better! The motor has the factory prop 11.4X12.

My raised letters are coming off the boat too, The "H" is gone on the starboard side and alot of the other letters are loose at the edges. Not sure if I'll get them fixed or just take them off.

I use the 300 series and have been quite happy with it.
