Since I have a Mercury outboard, I cannot confirm. However, by asking around, you should be able to determine if Yamaha and Mercury have the same size motor. I bet

* * * Excellent price. This was one of the first things I ever bought. We've been using it for quite a while, so far it's The body is free of rust, cracks, holes, or anything else wrong! You can read the original review by clicking here * *
Over the years, I have owned many of the floating plastic prop wrenches. The batteries last me no more than three or four uses before they go bad. I then took a standard 1 1/16 deep socket and a wrench and began fixing it. The rusted out part of it has happened only a season later. This was the first item I realized I could find online, and at $20 for a 100% stainless steel prop wrench, it seemed reasonable. As soon as I saw it, my first reaction was wow, this is a very substantial package. Below is a photo I took of the side view of the building. Nothing on this is going to break or bend. It also has a square cut out for the drain plug, which I like. I like the tab washer bending tool on the other side of the socket wrench even though the cut out is a little too big.
Lastly, I like the large cut out. You can also use the Michigan Wheel XHS 202) or Torq II 835257K1. Using the star style locking tab washers, they are all mounted in the same way. With this tool, you can effortlessly bend up the tabs so that you can remove the nuts on the bolt. It is deep enough to fully seat the socket on the nut after my prop wrench is put the buffer bank is deep enough that it can clear the prop on both sides. There is about 1/2 an inch of clearance at the prod nut when the prop nut is fully tightened as you can see in the photo. It seems that there are no negatives, at least that I have seen. The plastic prop wrench is lighter, but much heavier than the metal one. I will not be able to rely on it when I need it the most. After some time, I will do a follow up review to determine if the rust resistance holds up or if there are any other issues.
My 300hp Verado prop is supported by this wrench, but I do not think the socket end is deep enough/ has a large enough offset to properly reach the nut. It is blocked from reaching deep enough to fit properly on the prop nut by the edge of the exhaust discharge, which creates a gap. The angle made it fit fine, but I had to jam it in and make it work. I thought it was a great idea, but I did not think it was executed well enough. In its current form, it's going into the kit "to use if nothing else is available. " If the socket was about 1/2" longer, it would be perfect. Although making the wrench out of stainless steel was a great idea, I didn't feel like it fit properly.
The plastic varieties floated in the water. I find it very frustrating to be stuck out on the water for long periods without being able to remove a nut that's been on the shaft for several hours. It is very frustrating to be stuck out on the water without being able to swap out the A plug wrench is included. In order to fix this one since it won't float like the plastic ones, I put a line through the plug wrench hole and wore it over my wrist.
An allen key. The product is well made, so you'll never have to worry about it breaking. Because I knew the plastic wrench would not rust, I almost purchased it. However, after reading reviews regarding the plastic wrench busting or stripping out, I decided against it. When I realized it would not work when I needed the item, I decided it was not worth saving a few dollars.
If I need another one, I'll buy this again but this thing is amazing! LOL It'll probably last me about 100 years!.
I used it to replace a prop and it worked like a charm. If an emergency arises, you will need to attach a small rope with a wrist strap (like the Nintendo Wii controller) to prevent losing it in the water.
They're a good fit, and they're light weight, so you can keep them on your.
