I know that poly chappy is interested in the annode setup on my Yams, will take pics of old wuns once we start putting motors back together
Did go pic up my Power Heads Today all wrapped up sqeaky clean even wrapped in plastic they rival Fed's
Gearbox's & Cowls are going into paint shop tommorro, cowls would've been A OK exept that I'd 4gotten to close the transom door on the boat wun day & tilted the motors up, port cowl copped a wittle hole in it when it head butted the door.
Repair was easy, saves me doing it a mate is going to repray them for me
Mr & Mrs Shinny Heads
sweet

Hey jump did headjobs do the head work ?? sorry but i had to throw it in !!!
Yep 1
Put it this way I wasn't going to let JimBOOKY do the job
Motors were fine Frank
But sumthing has been annoying me on the port motor for last 12 months or so
Rev the motor out to say 5500 rpm & it goes fine for around 5 minutes then dies in the arse but never stalls, originally thought it was computor related cause once ewe turned that motor off & rebooted the computor it ran right for another 5 minutes then died in the arse again.
Took boat in twice & ran motors through the Yamaha analasis prog & it showed nothing was amiss, but like most things prob only occured when motor was under load.
Wun day I figured out wot the prob was, after the motor was giving me the shits I flicked the fuel line cocks over & ran that motor on the rear tank & prob went away.
I knew now wot the prob was & only got around to lifting the foor up to clear the blockage a couple of weeks back & boy was it blocked not in the tank but in the s/s fuel line had to poke some heavy wire in there to release the swarf..
Guess there's a bit more sum where & my guess is in the fuel reservoir on the motor itself, haven't gotten around to pulling anything apart yet cause I wanted to be involved in the rebuild of motors.
I've owned the motors 4 years now & they were 12 months old when I got them we didn't know how much work they'd done previously so decided to pull the heads off & have a looky.
All's good cylinder/piston etc wise, may have cost me a few $$'s pulling the heads off but @ least now I wont have to touch anything again for yonks
poly here's those anodes ewe asked about, as ewe can see my wuns are doing their job they were replaced 12 months ago
The wuns on the right came out of a 225 hp yammy today
in the smaller HP motors the anodes may not be in the heads but screwed into the block itself
thanks for the photo J.G.,I will have to find out were they are on my little 40hp
Paul
Are you saying that the anodes pictured are only 12 Months old, if so I'd be asking a few questions like, "WHY".
Wot ewe on about Fed ????
JUMPUS ...G'day!
your post was a little confusing:
We were wondering if the pic you showed were the anodes - on the left, you took off 12 months ago (which meant they had got into that state in 3 years)
OR
the ones you have just taken off?
Nothing Confuciosaring abot wot I said @ all even labeled the pic with wittle writtings
Both sets of anodes were in 2 different motors for 12 months
Left wuns still bolted onto their brackets are off my yams & they're nearly worn down to nothing 9that's wot they're supposed to do] cause when heads came off all galleries etc in the block were clean as a whistle not bad for 6 yo motors
Wuns on right are also 12 months old they came out of a later model 225 hp yam, & not eroded away much @ all esp considering motor sits on an LFB boat which gets used all the time
When I first saw your skegs I said you had a problem. now that I've seen your anodes I'll say it again, "You have a problem".
Sure they're working, working overtime.... why?
The 225HP ones look as I would expect after 12 Months.
Your boat hasn't had a lot of use over the last 12 Months either.
Getting the feeling it's gonna be wun of those fed days
Wot dont ewe get Fed surely ewe cant be thick as a ????
I have a question, an important one I would think.
IS it necessary it strip the heads off to change the anodes??????????????????????
Paul
Your anodes and skegs are dissolving faster than Aspros in boiling water and you say, "Look how good they're working".
You are looking at it through rose coloured glasses mate.
The lack of paint on the skegs is nothing, what I commented on was the alloy looked like fresh galvanised plating.
12 Months use say 50 hours max, your anodes should look brand new, they're almost gone!
You should be asking yourself... WHY ARE MY ANODES DISSOLVING SO QUICKLY? ... could there be a problem?
Fed I have never in my life cum across any bloody as dopy as ewe are oh great DopeyWunCanobe
And ewe have the ordasity to sit there & tell me that ewe read wot I write
I worked out the tank swapping over 12 months ago & let it ride till a few weeks ago when I unblocked the line.
Now is there anything else your feeble wittle mind needs educating on ????????????????
Look up & read what you wrote.
(It's in BOLD in my previous post)
The only thing Bald around here is your Shinny Head
Luv it when I'm on the money
Finally started on the motors today& just as I thought fuel reservoir on port motor [wun giving me grief] had alot of crap in there whereas starboard reservoir was clean as a whistle.
Also had a sticky injector
Take the boat in on munday toput power heads back on then it's the wild blue yonda 4 me
How did the crap get past your filter?
Not wun filter I have 2 filters
Oh well shit travels but only on wun motor
Bit of crap on the butterfly's but only on wun motor
Hopefully it will all be 100% when it's finished.
Looks a bit rusty looking, someone peeing in your tank?
Nope
That's just staining from the carby cleaner wiped off with a rag
Should be on the water thursday it's going in 2morro to get finished off
Gearbox's & cowls got spayed 2day & look SpoofyLaCockaSsen
After paint job I started cleaning the manifolds etc so wont take long to put motors back 2gether then out to the Bay for a test run
Just brought this to the top to remind you Jumpy, nearly time to check your anodes again.
Your new Merc would be overdue too.
Anodes will be fine on the Yams, hardly used the big goat only a handfull of times since they were changed not enough hrs to even warrant a service.
Merc on the other hand has allready got 200 hrs up on the meter since feb
It got serviced the other week when put it back on the goat & sure glad I wasn't the wun who did the service this time
Glad I wasn't even there 2b honest else I wouldn't have been to happy.
Apparantly only on a few of this model & Mercury haven't got a clue as to why it happens
When removing the gearbox from the powerhead, the powerhead dumps all the engine oil no damage to the seal but you're left with a big puddle of engine oil on the ground
I bet that gave the outboard guy a shock.
Apparently 4 strokes can 'make' oil in certain circumstances like trolling etc, something to do with blowby fuel getting into the oil, increasing the volume and diluting the oil. I've never heard of one taking a dump though, did the whole lot come out or just some of it?
Do you know if he looked at the anodes?
Nothing to du with wot ewe Sed Fed
Wasn't there but got told it twas a total oil dump no different to removing drain bolt on a sump
Only it all came out from the driveshaft seal
Probably needed an oil change anyway mate.
