    OK to Use Left Handed Engine in Single Setup

    I spoke to Yamaha and Parker and the only difference is that the Yamaha guy said that I will lose about 200 RPM's or so, but he also said that he would go with a LEFT Hand Engine as the gears are stronger than the standard Right Hand engine. He asked me to call Parker to ensure they didn't build...

    OK to Use Left Handed Engine in Single Setup

    I am just wondering if it would be possible to change the gear out in the lower unit to make it a right hand, I already have a great tuned RH prop. I am on hold with Yamaha US HQ right now.

    OK to Use Left Handed Engine in Single Setup

    I am getting a deal on a new Yamaha F250 but it is a left handed engine and I have an OX 66 Right Handed and wanted to know if I should stick with a right handed engine. I realize backing down/docking will be different but other than that is there anything that I am missing or should think...

    Yamaha F250 Upgrade Question

    Thanks for the Replies and input, I am getting excited to get my new 4 stroke! My OX 66 has treated me very well over the years, never one problem what-so-ever, amazing for a 12 year old engine. Really looking forward to the increased range and the tranquility, I love my OX 66 but she is loud...

    Yamaha F250 Upgrade Question

    Got it! Man I am like a kid on Christmas Eve, you have no idea! Some of my buddies kinda backed away from going out with me due to the amount of fuel burned, I am sure they will come crawling back now! I have heard that about the starters, a buddy of mine has an 89 2520 and repowered with a 4...

    Yamaha F250 Upgrade Question

    Thank you for your input, every bit of input like this makes it easier for me to pull the trigger. The deal is for a 'brand new' F250 that has 20 hours on it. Basically a guy with a pursuit had 2 of these on his boat but the dealer took them back so he could trade up to the electronic shifting...

    Yamaha F250 Upgrade Question

    No, I don't have twins, I was saying that for a guy with Twins the FBW is great, I have the old Notch Transom, one man, one engine...... I do not want FBW either but do want a good deal :D I wil see if I can lookup some Yamaha dealers in NC and call around, but if you get the name it would be...

    Yamaha F250 Upgrade Question

    Any chance you could find out the shp where he got it from? The sales tax here in Ca is almost 10% and I would like to save money anywhere I can. Also, I agree, the FBW adds nothing for me but is nice for a guy with twins due to the better sync. Thanks

    Yamaha F250 Upgrade Question

    The reason for the upgrade is decrease in noise while under way, I can't shut the cabin door on a 2310, and fuel efficiency, increasing my range. At $3.00 plus a gallon it costs around $450 to fill up and then add Yamalube at $25/gallon and it is over $500.00! Currently I am burning about...

    Yamaha F250 Upgrade Question

    OK, I have a Yamaha 225 OX 66 2 stroke that runs like a top, nothing wrong with it. A local shop has a 'brand new' F250A, the one that still shifts with cables, that has about 20 hours on it and can be bought for 14k, with a 5 year warranty. The F250B, the "fly" by wire, is the new model...

    I have a perfectly running OX66 225 2 stroke that I am looking to trade in/up to a 250 4 stroke. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my current engine, I just want to increase my range and decrease the engine noise, also I hate buying oil. Anyway, just seeing if anyone knows where to get a...

    2320 modification question. I need some help

    I have a 97 2310 and took out the engine well and replaced it with a removeable bulkhead fab'd from starboard,gave me a helluva lot more real estate onthe deck. I don't see many 2310's around but I really do like the wind in the face and have eisenglass curtains if need be.

    Shock Mitigating Seat Posts

    Well I am sold. The next question is do I buy one or 2, no way am I buying 4! Remember, the 2310 WA's come with 4 seats, uh huh, there are going to be some 'crew' that will be begging to take the helm, we get some nice swells here and they call me Top Gun as I like to get airborn sometimes...

    San Diego Parker on TV

    I have had my 2310 here in Southern California for almost 8 years and every year I see more and more of them. Instead of folks asking what a Parker is they are now asking to buy if I want to sell it! Speaking of TV, my boat was a star in the NBC show "Surface" that aired a few years ago. It...

    Bow lifting eye (Help!)

    I may be able to help. I have a 2310 that is rigged with a new bow eye (in addition to the factory one) and two stern eyes with a combination of straps and chain coming together right behind the front seats. Our club has a single point hoist and I have a velcro opening in my sunbrella where...
