Re: 1988 Yamaha 175, stainless prop, tilt/trim
 

In case 76seacraft passes on it...
Ran it today. Compression is less than stellar 80-110 PSI, depending on the cylinder. I have video of it running and the compression tests. I can offer it with a stainless prop and controls, and spare starter. Tilt trim works. Can ship from my loading dock.

A gem? No. But probably good for a season, then a rebuild in the off season. Once again a '88 20" shaft motor.

Make me an offer? I am pulling it next weekend.

$999/ OBO. Or I can part it for TnT/Prop/Lower unit.

Sill for sale- BEST OFFER. Might part it for lower unit/ prop before I recycle it.

SOLD. compression tester was wrong. Apparently it has 120-140 PSI.Not bad for an '88!

ok so what was wrong with our compression test?

Re: 1988 Yamaha 175, stainless prop, tilt/trim
 

My crap gauge. The local guy came over with his gauge. It hit from 115-140 on all 6 holes. Not super even, but not low, and consistent for the past few tests.
