Yamaha HPDI Seris 2?

I am looking at used boats and have seen a number of posts around the web concerning the big block Yamaha HPDI motors prior to 2007. What about the Series 2 engines? Specifically, I am looking at a boat with a 250 HPDI Series 2 engine.

I am running a 250 HPDI 2008. So far so good. And yes it is a Series 2.

Stay away

Wow two conflicting posts....now what...?

Lol. Flip a coin I guess.

those motors depend on maintenance, if you keep on top of the service you rarely have any issues.

This is spot on what I've been told. HPDI all about the maintenance.

Been running one (HPDI Series2 250 )for 8 years great engine. Would not change a thing.

Thank you. The more folks I have talked to I believe proper maintinance is the key.

I own an HPDI. IMO, keep up with the filters religiously, use atleast 91 Octane gas and fuel stabilizer, and warm up the motor in gear before you punch it.

I do what willey says plus i got a spin on fuelfilter/ water seperator in the back compartment.

Thanks guys. The boat I am looking at has had all the "mystery" filters addressed and also has a spin on fuel filter/water separator.

they're not made anymore. for a reason.
