Guys, I hate to do this as you all know I am a fan of saving a buck, but here is one thing you shouldn't stray from at minimum we'll known aftermarket for. This is a Chinese Amazon special impeller in a late 90s yamaha 175. This impeller has less than 5 hours of run time on it, was never in the sand, never ran dry, and only ran on muffs twice. Both times by me. I installed this impeller for a customer no more than 6 weeks ago.

Last week he called me stating that while he still had water coming out the tell tale, his overheat alarm had gone off twice that day. After checking his thermostats and verifying the alarm system was functioning correctly, and verifying he did not hurt the motor, we found this.

This is what happens when you get a 2 stroke hot. This is a 90 hp Johnson v4. Someone prior modified the cooling bypass hoses causing cylinder number 3 to run hot. Word to the wise, if your going to fix something, fix it right. This failure was 100% preventable.

Selling my personal boat. It's time to upgrade. 1985 tracker tournament v17. 1985 50 Johnson, cmc power tilt and trim. New 3500lb ez l**e axel and new tires last summer. Boat is currently rigged with an 1198 side scan humminbird at the helm and a lowrance hds5 insight on the bow, and a 24v 80lb thrust minn kota terrova with I pilot. Interstate group 24 cranking battery that's 2 years old, and 2 new a month ago group 31 Duracell trolling batteries. Also has a 3 bank pro mariner charger.

Asking 4500 turn key as it sits, or I'll strip the graphs, trolling motor, trolling batteries, and charger and let it go for 2200. Call or text me at 641-990-1005 for any questions.
