I think those could be the same seals as the problem ones on the F200's. Be interesting to hear what the pros say. I did a little research after writing my earlier post and it might just be that Yamaha issued a service bulletin in the US and have been covering some of these oil seal problems even when out of warranty???? There was also some talk about a nasty corrosion issue in the exhaust systems of some models. We found that in our engine just beofre it caused a major failure, but I hadn't realised that it might be a common/known issue. Haven't heard about out of warranty cover like that in NZ, but ask your mechanic to check as it could be happening on the quiet (i.e. if you don't ask you won't get it)! I certainly haven't received a letter telling me to check my engine, but maybe they just recorded my address wrong huh!]]> Thu, 20 May 2010 22:41:25 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53527&PID=767700&title=yamaha-check-engine-light#767700 <![CDATA[Yamaha "Check engine Light"? : RC and KingsTechnical manual...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53527&PID=767693&title=yamaha-check-engine-light#767693 Author: red89mx

RC and Kings

Technical manual had the following codes for  self diagnosis of the electrionic control system.  Suggested using a light based diagnostic tool - part # YB06795.

Are these the same codes that flash on the tachy insets of 2 or is that a separate diagniostic subsystem?

Yeah - not sure - Technical manual not much use if ya not that technical.

Will leave that to RC and Kings to comment on.  Thought it was to keep water out....but makes sense that it is oil....given it is an oil seal.  Ok finally found it....it is the oil pump and #19 is the same seals from the powerhed view.

Not sure about Reds seals. The others I know of have been the seals around the oil pumps (on the crank shaft from memory) allowing oil to seap from the sump. The thought seems to be that the types of seals used are hard on the shafts and are wearing them too quickly.]]> Thu, 20 May 2010 21:00:12 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53527&PID=767632&title=yamaha-check-engine-light#767632 <![CDATA[Yamaha "Check engine Light"? : Tagit, Red,-what do those seals...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53527&PID=767622&title=yamaha-check-engine-light#767622 Author: Unclejake

It seems that it may not be an unknown occurance for Yamaha oil seals to 'eat into the shafts'. I personally know of a few different engines that have done so, and our mechanic also commented that it does not seem to be uncommon.  Don't know just how common it really is, but is certainly not a one off occurance from what I have seen and heard. The other engines I have come across with similar problems have been F200's, and the problem seems to occur (if it is going to) between 600 and 900hrs. I have heard of one engine that was fixed at 600hrs and needs doing again at 1000hrs. It would be nice if Yamaha came to the party instead of leaving the owners to pay for the fixes, but I haven't heard of any good news in that department. It's a shame really because I am quite a fan of Yamaha engines, but this sort of stuff does make one think twice. Anyway, our mechanic fixed our leaking Yamaha by getting an after market seal that was slightly wider than the original Yamaha part so that it rides on a different part of the shaft. Works fine and saves a bunch of labour and materials. Ask your mech if that is a possibility in your case.]]> Thu, 20 May 2010 20:13:26 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53527&PID=767591&title=yamaha-check-engine-light#767591 <![CDATA[Yamaha "Check engine Light"? : The Main drive shaft #1 and...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53527&PID=767565&title=yamaha-check-engine-light#767565 Author: red89mx

The Main drive shaft #1 and the 2 oil seals ( Have taken this from the F150 electronic workshop manual).

They indicated that there were wear marks where upper shaft oil seals went through.

Could have been much bigger as there is some wear on top of shaft and no speedy sleeve in the appropriate size (33.5 mm ?) so an estimate for $1,500 for full shaft and seal replacement (over half labour with power head and gear case removal).  We went with using a "special" grease and re measure next service. At this price may be worth looking for a custom speedy sleeve size.

Red - which 'shaft' and which 'seal' are they talking about?]]> Thu, 20 May 2010 14:48:17 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53527&PID=767388&title=yamaha-check-engine-light#767388 <![CDATA[Yamaha "Check engine Light"? : ProSport wrote: UJ, I assume...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53527&PID=767370&title=yamaha-check-engine-light#767370 Author: Unclejake

Evidently the warranty is valid with Totally Marine doing the services. It isn't a complex job really, mainly just oil and filters on the first service. I did get them to check the cambelt tension as it was a bit whiney and they reckoned it was OK.  Dunno.
 
It is still operating perfectly, but you would expect a four month old motor to be pretty bloody perfect anyway.
 
Totally Marine are close to home which is the main reason we use them. Towing to and from Seaview is a PITA for us during the business day.
 
Redmx - which shaft is worn?

Yeah, could live with the service ....just, but a bit sus on the shaft wear and soln.  Might have been related to its first 500 hours being beach lauched up at Apihara? (Ninty mile beach way)
 
May look arround next time. difficult getting bods with the diagnostic gear though and a pain towing through Wellytown in rush hour....in contrast Seaview not that bad to get to from Plimmerton.
 
Would use Scott in Raumati but he has no diagnostic gear for the Yammies.
 
RC you looking for a Welly holiday soon?
