yamaha 200 HP OX 66 saltwater 2 series

There are people getting better gas mileage with the 4 strokes. If gas mileage is your most important issue look at the Suzuki and yamaha 4 strokes. They are a little better on fuel mileage. The etec's are also supposed to be good. For me I wanted the lighter motor and 453 lbs and the lower cost sold me on the 200 hp ox66. The best fuel saving device for me is the Navman 3100. Every time you want to go fast it shows you the penalty. Yamaha has a web site that tests different boats with 2 stroke and 4 stroke motors so you can compare the gas mileage on a boat with the 2 stroke and 4 stroke motor.

I am happy with the numbers you gave me.The boat I bought has the OX 66 200 and it only has 27 hours on it.I bought the boat at a low price so figure that will make up for a little x-tra fuel burn.Thanks again for the info. Keith

what grade fuel do you burn,I do not have a manual for my 200 OX 66? Thanks Keith

I burn regular gas 87 octane. I get it at whatever gas station is cheapest. If your motor is new make sure it has been back to the dealer for the 10 hour service. That is the one where they reduce the oil useage to normal. The owners manual is available as a pdf from the yamaha website.
