Jet pump

[quackkiller]

I don't know where I would post this... I am looking for a 90/65 or a 115 jet I have a 2004 75 2 stroke Yamaha tiller. The motor is is perfect condition, turn the key and runs amazing!!! I really want to start getting on the rivers and do a lot of hunting in shallow water and would like to run a pump! If anyone is Intrested in trading I have some cash on top. If not I do have some money set aside for a decent motor. Thanks to all!!!

I would contact :

Three rivers marine
Stevens marine (Tigard)
Pacific Boat land in  Vancouver
Auburn Marine

They might get a scrap motor or be able to help you out...used pumps are not that easy to find...I assume you know you can but a new pump .

Have you thought about a pump install on your 75 hp also you could find a used pump and rebuild it. Pretty simple to rebuild

sorry I misread I thought you were looking for a pump for your 75 2 stroke.... remember the "30 %" loss rule when going to a jet..... finding a a complete "used jet" motor should not be that much of a problem...I would try those dealers for sure...

I have thought about just putting a pump in the motor I have now because I know how reliable it is but I do know it will be about a 45-50 instead of a 75. The boat is a 1756 Lowe flat bottom. I will contact those guys for sure and see if they have any deals!!! Thanks for the info guys!

I had a center console 1860 Smokercraft flat bottom with a 90 hp (65 jet) Yamaha 2 stroke and if memory  serves me right it was plenty of motor for the small rivers with 3-4 guys in it if that helps any. I do not think I ever had more than 4 adults in it..typically it was 3 of us.

I used it on thee Columbia as well for springers .

That does help a lot, I have been looking at the new Mercury 90/65's and have been debating on it, how was your hole shot? I just don't want to be under powered. I would much rather have a little more power rather than not enough. Thanks!

[Mark Youngblood]

keep in mind if you go to a 4 stroke you will definitely loose some "hole shot" but depending on the power/boat you might be ok ..for instance:

I had a 20 ft Super V with a 6 degree bottom, bought new with a 200 Merc 2 stroke with the "big pump" on it...plenty of power and great hole shot...LOUD

I repowered the boat 2 years ago with a Merc 150 4 stroke with the oversize pump as well.... I did loose some hole shot but I was pleasantly surprised with the performance....I just made sure I had boat loaded evenly and tried not to take off in "to skinny" of water...boat still performed well with 5 adults in it.  Basically I juts got used to it and after a few trips it seemed like it had been that way forever.

One of my guide buddies runs a newer Smokercraft 1860  flat bottom with the Merc 4 stroke 115 on it and it does him just fine so I think you would like the  motor....you just get used to it like everything else.

You won't be happy with a 90/65....check out outboard jets website and in the facts they show you what weight per power you need to plane. Don't skimp as you won't be happy...

Thanks for all of the information guys! I found a 90 merc pump and a 115 just need to try and bring the guys down or see if they will trade! Appreciate all the good info!!
