Currently i have a 40hp 2001 model yamaha 2 stroke outboard. It doesnt have trim however and i find that this can be a pain when i'm launching and retrieving by myself because i injured my back recently. I looked into buying a electric trim unit, but found it was nearly $600 at best plus installation. I was thinking it may be better to just buy another motor with this already installed on it. I wasnt sure how much to try and sell my motor for however and i dont want to not be able to afford another one once its gone though. Any ideas? p.s this motor is not for sale and i'm not trying to sell it at this time. Thanks Steve

I've got a 2001-2002 model 40hp 2 stroke yamaha. i've heard that it is possible to "tune up" a 40hp to a 50hp because they've both got the same block (693cc). Would it be possible to tune the motor up by changing the carbs and silencer?? Any input is appreciated. Cheers, Steve

Yeah its going really well added a new bilge and a stronger livebait pump. Goes real quick to. I've seen dilligaffer on a couple of boats. wats it mean?

i've got a haines sea wasp which i want to name but i also want to be able to put the name on the back of my year 12 jumper. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Steve

Thanks for all your help. i couldnt believe that the only difference was the warranty and the price. Steve

Hi all. i went to the boat show last weekend 2 check out some of the electric motors. i'm interested in buying a transom mount for my tinny. when i spoke to 1 of the salesmen 4 minn kota he said that the saltwater riptide is exactly the same as the freshwater models except you get a corrosion warranty on the riptide. He then said he's been running a minn kota endura in saltwater and has had no problems. Is there a difference in the motors other than the price? Any help would be much appreciated Steve
