Outboard motors are a very narrowly focused technique, but at the same time a large number of people are interested in it. Both for use for fishing and for relaxing on water, boat motors are an indispensable thing. The leader in the production of outboard motors is currently considered Yamaha, and the facts proving such a high-profile statement can be found in this article.
Outboard Motors Yamaha
At the moment, there are many manufacturers of outboard motors. Both Chinese and Japanese models are on the market. Among all the companies that produce such equipment, Yamaha stands out. This company has established itself as the best price-quality ratio.
For example, people leave a lot of positive reviews about "Yamaha" 3 liters. from. This is no accident. It is important that these motors are manufactured in Japan, and this, as everyone knows, is the key to quality. The factories for the manufacture of outboard motors provide consumers not only with finished equipment, but also with all consumables and spare parts for any repair.
Outboard motor "Yamaha" 3 l. from.
Outboard motor "Yamaha" 3 l. from. It differs from many other branded motors with its power, weight and ease of use. The main competitors, judging from the reviews of the "Yamaha" 3 liters. S., are the companies "Tohatsu", "Mercury" and "Suzuki".
If you dig deeper and look at competitors, the question arises, why outboard motors 3 liters. from. produced in the same housing as 2.5 liters. from. Yamaha has a fully developed case for both a two-force and a three-force model. The thing is that competitors went the simple way and produce these motors in one case in order to reduce the cost of production. But Yamaha managed to design its own case for a 3-liter model for a decent price. from.
The differences on the case do not end there. The main difference, judging by the numerous reviews on the Yamaha 3 liter engine. S., - cubic capacity. The working volume is 70 cubic meters. see. But at the same time, competitors with three-horsepower models position themselves as motors with 3.3 liters. from. and 74.6 cubic meters see. On the one hand, the smaller "Yamaha" cubic capacity is less speed on the water, and on the other hand, the difference is insignificant and it is not possible to notice it on a low-powered engine.
Engine "Yamaha" 3 l. from. It has one cylinder and a weight of 16 kg. The main advantage over competitors is that Yamaha offers tiller control and throttle control (neutral and forward) in such a weak motor. Rear speed, unfortunately, no.

What you need to know about the new engine (instruction)
When purchasing a new or used engine, first of all, it is necessary to inspect the main engine components. It is necessary to check the equipment and pay attention to whether all bolts are properly tightened. The complete set of the new motor is indicated on the warranty card or in the instructions for the outboard motor and may differ depending on the year of production of this engine.
The gas handle, which is located on the tiller, must be rotated without creaks and great effort. All grease fittings and moving mechanisms, such as the engine mount, gas cable, clamps on which the engine is mounted to the boat transom, must be lubricated with waterproof grease. It will not be superfluous to check the outboard propeller of the outboard motor for the presence of backlash and shaft curvature. Reviews on the operating instructions for Yamaha 3 L from. quite vague and easier to see in the instructions that come with the outboard motor from the box.
First engine start
Before starting the engine for the first time, you need to check how securely the motor is fastened with clamps to the boat transom. Start the Yamaha outboard motor 3 l. from. It is only necessary in the "neutral". If the propeller is difficult to turn by hand, then the motor is at speed and it is necessary to turn on the “neutral” with a special switch on the motor housing.
Having done all the manipulations and checking with a cursory glance the engine, you can start to start. Outboard motor "Yamaha" 3 l. from. It is two-stroke and does not have a lubrication system, as on four-stroke engines. In a two-stroke engine, lubrication is done by mixing gasoline with engine oil. If the engine does not start, check whether the fuel tap and valve in the fuel tank cap are open.
How to break in the outboard motor
Having purchased an outboard boat engine, first of all you need to properly run it. During running-in, all moving parts are rubbed in the engine, therefore, this period should be taken quite seriously. Owners of Yamaha outboard motors run in strictly according to the description given in the motor instructions.
Reviews on "Yamaha" 3 l. from. very controversial, so you do not need to focus on them when searching for answers to questions on how to properly run in the engine and whether it is necessary. Each owner decides for himself. Is it possible to neglect the requirements of the manufacturer of this equipment and how will repairs occur in the event of a breakdown without proper engine break-in? If you do not go through this procedure as required by the motor manufacturer, any damage to the engine will not be considered a warranty case. Thus, the reviews on the running of the "Yamaha" 3 liters. from. do not pay attention. It is necessary to follow the instructions that the manufacturer offers.
It’s easy to break in. At this time, you can’t give full throttle, and some models of engines have protection against maximum speed during the break-in period. It is completely forbidden to give full throttle in the first hour, and in subsequent hours you can give full throttle for a short time.
On average, the break-in period lasts about ten hours. According to reviews, the outboard motor "Yamaha" 3 l. from. push-pull and during the break-in period it is necessary to fill with a re-enriched mixture of oil in gasoline. In turn, the oil must be taken specialized for two-stroke outboard motors marked TC-W3. Special oils for outboard motors are produced by Yamaha. The name of these oils is Yamalub. Very often, these oils appear in reviews of "Yamaha" 3 liters. from. It is strongly discouraged to use oils for scythes or motorcycles. The life of the engine depends on the oil and fuel that it feeds on.
Selection of a boat for the Yamaha outboard motor 3 l. from.
Yamaha 3 is a very popular motor. Test reviews "Yamaha" 3 l. from. on the water a lot. The most interesting thing is that in these reviews people talk about which boat this motor is faster and with which slower. It makes no sense to list thousands of boat-motor sets. Most often this is a double PVC boat with which Yamaha 3 can show a speed of up to 20 km per hour. To achieve such good performance, you need to select a boat under the motor. The width of the model should be as narrow as possible, and the length as large as possible. The boat should have a stationary transom and a flat bottom. A flat-bottomed boat goes into planing mode much faster than keel boats.
If the “boat-motor” kit does not show good seaworthiness and is very slow on the water, it’s worth looking at more powerful engines. According to the reviews of the owners, Yamaha 3 liters. from. - This is the first very light and reliable outboard motor for moving one, maximum two people in a small water area.
Damage in the "Yamaha" 3
Most often, the Yamaha gearbox breaks. The reason is pretty commonplace - hitting an obstacle. You might think that there can be no obstacles in the water. Felled trees, and sometimes pillars, carried by a spring stream of water, pose a very great danger to both the outboard motor and the captain of this boat.
The second engine failure is a frivolous attitude to oil. Since the engine is two-stroke, the oil must be mixed with gasoline. Many people simply forget this and pour clean fuel without oil. Such a motor does not pass even a day and there will be practically nothing to repair there. Pouring more oil than indicated is also not necessary. On each motor there is an instruction on how to make a gas mixture.
Water safety
Without life jackets, you should not board a boat. If you have a large metal boat, vests must be with a margin. Drinking alcohol while sitting in a boat is not recommended not only to the captain of the vessel, but also to passengers. Very often people under alcohol simply drop out of a boat that rushes at full speed.
We must not forget about the safety check (this is the key without which the engine will not start). This attribute is needed for security. If, for example, the ship's captain drops out of the boat, then a fastened safety pin will shut off the engine.
The engine must be turned off only after turning on the “neutral”, and the “neutral”, in turn, must be turned on at the minimum engine speed when the throttle stick is in the minimum position. In no case should you start the engine in the presence of people near the boat. The propeller perfectly cuts not only algae, and this must be remembered.
