ififish Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 What is the typical life expectancy of an outboard that is properly maintained inFlorida saltwater environment? Im near 1000 hrs on my 03 Vmax hpdi 250 and now having a few issues. Some corrosion but nothing terrible. Overall condition has held up pretty well in my opinion. Is 1000 hrs an expected timeframe to report? Is 1500 hrs the mark? Do different manufacturers have different life expectancy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishmanjj Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 I had 1650 hours on my 2001 Yamaha 200 hp HPDI on a 2001 PF 2400v when I traded it in for a F250 in 2008. Motor was 7 years old, had replaced three water pumps and other than routine maintenance it had no issues. The dealer allowed me $3500 for it on trade. You take care of that two stroke and you'll get another 500 hours of it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunFlatsFishing Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 I've heard that once you hit 1000 hours, expect to spend $1000 a year on repairs in addition to your service. Obviously that's just a saying. Age of the engine can be just as big of a factor as hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
