Yamaha problems? Are they having HPDI problems? The information is still
not reaching the general public. There was just a 300 HPDI article in
Bass and Walleye boats, and I don't recall so much as a hint of any
problems.



Like the '98-'99 FICHT problems, the Yamaha 300 problems only affect certain
applications, mostly offshore fishing boats. It does not affect the
freshwater bass boat motors. Part of the problem is salt water intrusion,
but the "fix" takes 12 to 15 hours to do, and it is a whole series of
changes, including wiring harness, ECU, adding a reverse switch, etc. and
can only be done by factory approved locations. They are not fixing all at
this time, just the offshore folks on certain makes of boats. You can read
all about it and some horror stories (as usual) on various web sites and
forum. It is also known in the trade journals. Use Google.



Read this also Tom than apply what we say about these things, high end
of lean burn mode??? Nose high ploughing along??? suddenly accelerate at
the end of the no wak zone???
