Beauty! Nice setup!!! I’ve been just getting my 420 Strela with a Yamaha 40/28 2 stroke setup the last couple weeks, they’re quite the boat! Loving it so far. I was having a fair bit of spray at the back at first but I’ve raised the motor and it’s been greatly reduced. Now the front lip of my jet foot is about 10mm above the top of the tunnel. I’ve got the motor on the second trim hole so the lip of the foot sticks over the tunnel a bit too. Has greatly reduced spray and it hasn’t sucked in air unless I’m doing a really tight turn and sliding badly so I’m very happy.

Hi Steve, they are great fun and should be a great tool for hunting. I think my motor is good and I shouldn’t have to adjust it. I can’t wait to see how it is in a River, that will be the true test. Mine also will cavitate if I do a real sharp turn. I still have a lot to learn, but it should be fun to learn. Good to hear you got yours running good. Thanks for watching and the comment have fun and be safe. Send me some pics of your set up, my email is in my channel description.

Looks like it rocks!

Hi Johnny, it goes very well. I am looking forward to running some rivers here soon. Hopefully next week. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care my friend.

When trying to start, specifically trying to pump the ball up, you were holding the bulb level. It will work 100 times better if you hold the bulb vertical with the motor side up. Nice looking rig.

Hi Jorn, I was very surprised at how little fuel it used. It is going to be great fun and a great tool for hunting. My family says hi back and I say hi as well, I hope all is well. Take care my friend and thanks for watching and the comment.

Thats going to be a great moose hunting rig, Al I have a outboard motor support that I put on my heavy motor (25hp merc 4 stroke) , to trailer . It braces the bottom of the lower unit to the trailer . They are cheap and worth every penny .

Hi Tim’r, yes I was thinking about one of those as well. It is going to be a great tool for moose hunting. Thanks for the advice, take care my friend.

I would recommend getting your fuel tank to the rear of the boat. That would shorten your fuel line (which would make starting easier)as well as prevent the fuel tank from being launched out of the boat if you encounter a larger wave in a river. And for your safety PLEASE attach your safety cut off cord.

Hi Jeff, I put the fuel tank in the front of the boat to help distribute the weight. When I am hunting I think it will be better to have it closer to me, so I will likely get a shorter fuel line for that. I do have the fuel tank strapped down in the front so it can’t be launched out of the boat. Yes, you are correct I will use the safety cut off cord, I had nothing to attach it to that day. I’ll make a Velcro strap with a D ring that will go on my wrist. Thanks for watching, the comments and suggestions, take care.

Nice set up Al im surprised it was that loud dont have any exp with jet tillers or ski's even though i grew up on a lake got a 4 stroke 2.5 Yamaha on a 10' lund skiff for hunting an fishing it's extremely quiet an sips fuel cant go wrong with Yamaha products

Hi Steve and Frankie, I really like that Yamaha engine. In neutral you can hardly tell it’s even running. I heard they are very reliable as well, and the fuel consumption is a real bonus. Going to be a great hunting tool. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care my friend and great to hear from you again.

How do you lift that motor? Yamaha is so heavy compared to tohatsu

Hi, I spend a lot of time working out lol. In my garage I use a chain hoist, so I can manage it myself. If I’m up north I mount the motor to the back of my quad and drive the quad in the water to mount it. But two guys can manage it for a short distance. It’s definitely heavier than I’d like it to be. Maybe one day I might see a Tohatsu in my future. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, take care my friend.

Looks good guy 👍👍
