Yamaha F115 engine whine

[lakeliving]

So the other day while slowly cruising around I hear a sound at approx. 1400 rpm. It sounds almost like a super charger whine and only occurs between 1400-1500 rpm, as soon as I give it more throttle it goes away. I searched and it appears there is a known issue with the shaft bushing. However, the posts I saw were from 04 and so on. Is anyone else getting this noise?? Thoughts?

I thought this was going to be a totally different topic! Thought maybe you were going to whine about having the 115 instead of the 150!! Haha, just bugging ya!

Good one Derrick!

Our T50 Yamaha has a similar noise, kind of a whirrring sound? I don't let it bother me, it's got a warranty, and every piece of equipment has it's own little quirks.

Thanks guys and I do wish I had more hp. At least we maxed out what the boat can handle. I ran it today and didn't hear it so maybe I was hearing things.

115 for sale with 40 hrs on it. I am not maxed out. I cant believe my salesman talked me out of the 150! Lol Dang it!!!

Don't drive the new 200 or you'll really be bummed!
