[QUOTE="Pale_Horse_Idaho, post: 513523, member: 35352"] Wow super amazing job you did. Way above my pay-grade. When I was re-powering my boat I agonized over Honda vs Yamaha. I ended up with the Yamaha because a semi-local shop had a 25hp electric start in stock. It was NOS (new old stock) and he gave me a $1,000 discount over his already $1,000 lower price than anyone else. The ONLY thing I dont like about the yamaha are it has a lightened crankshaft so it has a bit more vibration at idle and the fuel injectors hold line pressure when changing fuel lines (you get sprayed every time). Having said that I do prefer injected over carbs but Honda does have the carb thing figured out with the 3-stage carb design. On carb motors I always pull my fuel line (or turn off fuel at a switch) and let the motor run the fuel dry before storing for more then a day or two. I never run the ethanol fuel either. I'm sure you know that though. On one of your posts it looks like the transom wood is rough. Is it in good shape or does it need replacing? If you ever go to replace it choose [URL='https://www.boatoutfitters.com/material/plastic-sheet/coosa-board']coosa board [/URL]over wood. Wood is so old school at this point. Wonder why the boat maker put a short transom on a 60hp boat? [/QUOTE]
