We blew up a $30,000 Yamaha 300 Outboard Motor!
Ойын-сауық
We headed out of the Pensacola Beach Pass to do some heavy offshore fishing for Amberjack when Murphy's Law struck our Yamaha outboard boat motor. Here is what happened during our day of saltwater fishing !

They didn’t hit anything…..a part blew out from the inside. Still a mfg issue…..However, with thousands of these things being made, there are bound to be a few problems here and there. Nothing that consists of hundreds of parts can be perfect every time. I would still give Yamaha an “A” in outboards. Probably the best on the market.

Those lower ends are sacrificial pieces, they're designed to basically 'self destruct' to save the rest of the engine in the event you hit something at high speed. I've done something similar 2x, once on a 37 Outrage Whaler at 45kts with the middle engine, and again on a 31 Everglades on the starboard engine, both times it did it's job and saved the rest of the engine from major damage. Both times also happened to be Mola Mola that we whacked, those beasts are hard to see when the bow is up!
Ship happens!!! Been there before 15 miles out on 1 motor - blew it up (mercury) waited an hour and tow boat hooked us up and pulled us in.

Hey Jack. Since you spend a lot more time with him than we see him, can you please do a montage of 30 days of Brant's hair?
Being the port engine, it’s probably the counter rotator, which have a extra cog in the lower unit, to reverse the direction of final drive, so the prop spins opposite way to the starboard engine prop. It looks like it spat that extra cog out through the lower unit gear casing. That suggests maybe there was no oil in that lower unit! You’d expect with HP 80/90 gear oil to have seen a pretty big oil plume on the water where the engine went boom. I didn’t see that, which makes me question, did the mechanic servicing the motor maybe forget to top off that lower unit with gear oil? Pretty unusual to blow a lower unit in under 12 months on a new Yamaha OB like that without there being a causal factor like no oil. OMMV.

Imagine dumping 2quarts? of oil in there. And even when there is prettymuch no oil left, if you tilt it like that there wil stil be coming oil out of there. So i think you might be right, it might have run without oil

But one of the biggest points for two engines is redundancy. If you're 25+ miles off shore, VHF's don't have great range, if your radio does work you'll be waiting hours for towing, and EPIRB response is at minimum 3-6 hours after the plane spots you. Having a single engine offshore just isn't very comfortable. Albeit they weren't very far but it's still a factor.

wolfe fishes funny you should say that about research. That boat will plane with one 300. The reason for dual engines is two fold. One is for safety, if one goes you have one to make it back.

When you cast net bunker leave them in the net in the water for 2 mins and they will poop in the water and not in your live well
Looks like maybe it blow out from the inside. It will be interesting to see the lower unit failed or if something was struck.
Congrats
I can sell you a Scout with Mercs...

Can you do a part 2. would like to know in a bit more detail what happened and warranty etc, as I have a new yamaha only a 50 hp tho. what warranty do you get in the states here in Australia we get 6 years if serviced by the seller every 100 hrs or 12 months.
Still under warranty...Only the footer...Nothing is perfect! lol...I have a 150hp Yamaha 2 stroke...Older but runs great!
Now I know why I'm a diesel inboard owner!!!

Doesn't matter...This was a gearbox failure, not an engine failure. The same thing could happen, no matter what kind of engine powers it.
Okay, I have to comment. First of all there is a lot of anti Yamaha in this video and in the comments. If you know of a lower unit that wont go out then I would love to know about it. This isnt really a reflection of Yamaha since this happens with all of them. I still think something was hit, but even if it wasn't that's the ways she goes sometimes. I've ran a lot of outboards of various make and model and the only unit I've ever had go without hitting something was a left hand rotation unit and that happened on both a Mercury and a Yamaha to me. 75 percent of my hours are on Yamaha. I have maybe 15,000 (30,000 really since there are usually 2) hours, so not as much as some of you guys but enough to know that these outboard issues are pretty much universal. I will give mercury the nod for sweetest outboards these days if iam forced to answer, but Yamaha makes a hell of a durable product for sure.
Looks like a gear in the planetary gear went into orbit... into Davey Jones' Locker.

No planetary gears in the lower unit. Just fixed-axis bevel gears... Hopefully it was an internal failure. An external hit would probably not be covered by the warranty. Even if the LU is replaced, a failure like this can do hidden damage to the powerhead. It's rotten luck anyway you cut it.
Great eye catching on that bait. One shot one kill sounds Marine Corps I was a corpsman for 15 years booyah
That's the last thing I would expect from a Yamaha. Edit: nevermind looks like user error.

I do believe Evinrude is out of business. It's time to start hoarding replacement parts. You may not be able to find repair parts by the time you finally need them.
That happened to me yesterday with my Cordova
How on earth did you manage to make it back with only one 300hp Engine? Oh the humanity.
that is a sign from above... he did it to save you guys from something horrible at sea and it's not slaying fish.
This video is the nail in the coffin for me when it comes to buying new bigger Yamaha's .I'm going Verado or Suzuki when I repower. Now it makes sense why Yamaha doesn't have motors available. THEY KNOW THEY HAVE PROBLEMS SO THEY DON'T PUT THEM TO MARKET !
