Trusting Yamalube Oil to Support all of My Yamaha Engines

domo online blog 4 10-20-14When I look to buy any kind of motor, I usually am looking at Yamaha brand. This is because the outboard motors and snowmobiles that I have purchased from this brand in the past have always lasted me a long time and performed excellently. The snowmobile in my garage right now has a Yamaha engine as does the outboard motor that is on my fishing boat.

Part of making sure that these motors function for me when I need them the most is making sure that I take care of them properly. I always make sure to fill these engines with good quality gasoline and to only use Yamalube oil with them. When I take good care of these motors they continue to work for years and years without needing any repairs.

Picking Two Cycle Outboard Oil that is Good For Your Outboard

domo online blog 3 10-20-14If you own a two cycle outboard motor, you know that there is a lot more oil that goes into operating this engine than goes into your car or truck. You have to put oil in each time that you fill up with gasoline so that the engine is able to stay properly lubricated all of the time. While many different types of oil are available, it is important to pick a good one for you outboard.

One great way to find out which oil is a good one for your outboard is to look at the owner’s manual for your outboard motor. This will usually recommend a type of two cycle outboard oil that works best for your outboard. Another good way to choose is to find two cycle oil that is made by the same manufacturer that made the outboard motor in the first place.

Optimax Oil is Needed in a Special Kind of Engine

domo online blog 2 10-20-14With many outboard motors, the operator actually has a bit of choice when it comes to buying oil for the motor. It isn’t the end of the world if you have to use the cheaper brand of oil a few times because your local marina has run out of your favorite brand. Some people even manage to run these outboards only on cheap oil for the majority of their lives.

For some more special outboards, like Optimax outboards, it is important to buy oil that is made for this engine. Since the engine has special requirements that other oils might not be able to provide, you should always stick to using Optimax oil when you are operating this outboard. Using another type of oil could cause damage to the outboard in the long run.

Mercury Oil is a Big Part of Keeping a Motor Running Well

When I owned a boat when I was far younger, I wasn’t thinking much further ahead than my next fishing trip. I know that there were times that I went out with my boat where the motor didn’t have very much oil in with the gasoline making sure that all of the parts stayed lubricated. When I did have the right amount of oil, it was always the cheapest type.

At the time, I thought that I was being thrifty and saving money in the long run. Then of course my motor started having problems and eventually it needed to be replaced. A new motor cost me a lot more than regularly buying plenty of Mercury oil would have in the long run. I learned my lesson though. Now I only use good quality oil and use the right amount of it.

Using the Right Kind of Evinrude Outboard Oil for Your Outboard Motor

domo online blog 5 10-13-14When it comes to Evinrude outboard motors, there are many different types that are great for using with your boat. Many people chose to have an Evinrude E-Tec motor because these are the most efficient motors that Evinrude makes. These motors are also capable of running a lot cleaner that many of the motors that are on the market for use with your boat.

These motors are usually built to run on XD100 oil, but they can be programmed to run on XD50 instead. It is very important to know which one your boat motor is set up for because it changes the type of Evinrude outboard oil that you have to use. You cannot switch to XD50 without causing damage if your engine is set up to run XD100.

My Father Uses Yamalube Ringfree Plus as a Type of Routine Maintenance

domo online blog 4 10-13-14Since my father has been a mechanic for a long time, he knows that machines need to be properly maintained to ensure that they are running well. I remember when he first got his boat he was really excited about having it. On the days that he didn’t take it out on the water, he still seemed to be working on it, cleaning it or just looking at the engine checking it for problems.

In every tank of fuel, my father makes sure that his motor doesn’t have any gunky build up by sending some Yamalube ringfree plus through the engine. This makes it so that any build up that could cause damage to his engine starts to disintegrate. He doesn’t have to worry as much about having problems in his engine that come from carbon stacking up inside of it.

Less Yamalube 2W is Necessary During the Fall

domo online blog 3 10-13-14Now that it is fall, it is a strange feeling not going out on the lake every single weekend. Since the weather is getting a lot colder, it isn’t as logical for me to take out my smaller fishing boats when the weather is bad. I barely get any use out of my WaveRunner since it is way too cold to want to feel the spray from the water and the breeze ripping all around you.

It feels odd not to be constantly thinking about when I am going to need to buy the next batch of Yamalube 2W to ensure that the WaveRunner is able to function perfectly. I know that I still get to take my boat out sometimes and that the weather is good enough on a few weekends to go out, but for the most part I’m staying home. It isn’t warm enough for WaveRunners anymore.

Yamaha Outboard Oil Keeps My Boat Running During a Rainy Fishing Trip

domo online blog 2 10-13-14Last weekend, I decided to brave the rain and the wind and go out on the water to go fishing. I took my little fishing boat out to the marina and got it ready to launch. I had to pack all of the fishing poles and some tackle boxes that I needed to bring with me. I had a friend who was joining me, but he decided that he would meet me down at the marina that morning.

On the way to the marina, I made sure to fill up on gasoline and Yamaha outboard oil so that my boat would be running at its best. It is always important to make sure that a boat is running well when it is taken out, but it is even more important to do so when the weather is bad. I didn’t have a single problem with my outboard motor during the trip, which I was thankful for.

A Mercury Oil 55 Gallon Drum Supplies My Brother’s Boat Rental Shop

domo online blog 1 10-13-14When my brother said that he was going to open up a boat rental shop over by the marina to rent boats to the people that wanted to go out on the water, the rest of us thought that it was a great idea. Of course, most of the rentals took place during the summertime, but my brother isn’t too concerned about the off season. He was able to at least cover his costs.

In order to run the boat rental shop, he had to buy a couple of good boats that he could easily rent out, get some insurance, and always have a Mercury oil 55 gallon drum hanging around so that he could keep his boats running great. Since he already knew a lot about boat maintenance, he was able to do most of his own. This really helped him to cut down on costs.

The Right Yamaha Oil for a WaveRunner to Use

Since Yamaha is a very diverse brand, it is not surprising that they manufacture a large assortment of different types of oil. They have to have oil that will work in vehicles that move through the water in addition to those that move through mud and snow. This requires a lot of different types of oil with additives that are good for the right kind of situation.

If you are trying to find the right type of Yamaha oil to run a WaveRunner, this is different oil than is used in just a standard boat. Rather than using Yamaha 2M, which you would with many different outboard motors, you must make sure that you use Yamaha 2W. This type of oil is specifically designed for WaveRunners and other small watercrafts.

Cleaning My Boat Inside and Out with Ringfree Plus

domo online blog 3 10-06-14Since it is fall, I spent the last few afternoons getting my boat cleaned up a little. I want my boat to be clean before it gets covered in the leaves and the dirt that is going to attack it throughout this season. I spent all of yesterday pressure washing the sides of my boat and making sure that the outside was gleaming. Now that the outside of my boat is clean I want to make sure the inside is too.

I have purchased some ringfree plus to run through my engine so that any gunk or build up that was starting to stick in my engine would go away. I plan to run my engine with this inside of it when I take the boat out on the lake this weekend. This should make it so that the inside of my outboard motor is as clean as the outside of my boat is right now.

Some Mercury Outboard Oil for a Trip Around the Island

domo online blog 2 10-06-14One of my friends has a house that is on an island out in the bay. He uses the house mostly as a summer vacation home, but on nice weekends he goes out to the house during the fall and spring as well. He loves being able to be close to the water where he can take his boat out and look for some of the sea creatures that live along the coast and in the deeper water.

Last weekend, he and I went out to his vacation home so that we could take his boat out. The weather was really nice and many of the weather stations were reporting that it would be the last good weekend of the year. We got his boat ready by feeding it some gasoline and some Mercury outboard oil. Once it was ready we zipped around the island enjoying the sights.
