The year before last I repowered my 2000 22 cruiser. It had a 2000 Yamaha 80 4 stroke. I installed a new Yamaha F70. Only reason being I was fed up with the carberators. I don't use it as much as I used to. It's nice to have fuelinjection. No worries so far. The motor New was $7000 with 5 year...

Boat has been running well. For my style of boating this motor could not be better. It a total miser on gas. Sometimes I think this motor makes gas. LOL. I run on many lakes through out New York State. My boat is very light. I have actually removed one of the gas tanks to make room for a cooler...

Went and sold the F80 off the back of the boat and installed a new F70. It pushes me at about 22-24 mph with the new Yamaha prop.

Here was Andy's reply about the new Yamaha Talon SDS prop. With the aluminum SDS Talon, I have no reason why Yamaha did it this way, but the pitch numbers don't jive. Say you had a standard 13P aluminum prop, and you turned 6000 at wide open throttle. Then you put a 13P Talon...

thanks for the info. I will be sending and email to Andy to find out which talon SDS prop I should order to replace a 13 3/4 x 13 pitch. I will let you know what he recommends.

Here is the website I found that has the SDS props for the midrange Yamaha's These are all new this year. It's the Talon series. I don't think the prices are that much more than standard props. It's a genuine Yamaha website. www.simyamaha.com You are here: Home > PROPELLERS & HARDWARE >...

Here what they have the website. Props are $144. 3-Blade. NOTE ON ALL TALON SDS PROPS. THEY ARE MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN OTHER ALUMINUM PROPELLERS. WHEN ORDERING GO 3" DOWN IN PITCH FROM WHAT YOU ARE USING CURRENTLY. EXAMPLE: IF YOU ARE RUNNING A 15P ALUMINUM PROP, PURCHASE A 12P TALON SDS TO...

Anybody running these. They say if you use these props to drop 3 pitch sizes from what you are using now. I was just wondering how good they are. Sounds like they would be ideal for midrange motor and a heavier boat. Plus they have some kind of a soft shift hub.

Thanks after reading the 250 hr report on the F70 I believe that is all the motor I am going to need. The fuel misier that this motor is , is just what I am looking for. Since I Trailer the boat I trailer it to where the fish are so I don't do a lot of long runs. The only current or tides I...

Thanks for all helpful info. This is such a great site. Everybody here seems like one big family. I don't see myself running a lot weight. I actually plan on removing one of the gas tanks. That way I can put a empty cooler under there to put my fish in. I wouldn't be carring a lot fresh water...
