Here is the current balancer part... www.simyamaha.com/BALANCER_ASSEMBLY_p/63p-11500-04-00.htmThat looks like the old balancer that came out of my Motors they were made of some type of green composite material that failed a sign of a failed balancer would be the green shavings in your oil when you change crankcase oil the ones that were replaced in my Motors we're stainless or some type of metal I don't remember they were not replaced with another composite type balancer <iframe width="6.399999999999977" height="4.199999999999989" style="position: absolute; width: 6.399999999999977px; height: 4.199999999999989px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none;left: 15px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_22428761" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="6.399999999999977" height="4.199999999999989" style="position: absolute; width: 6.4px; height: 4.2px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 277px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_94609902" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="6.399999999999977" height="4.199999999999989" style="position: absolute; width: 6.4px; height: 4.2px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 15px; top: 341px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_33451421" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="6.399999999999977" height="4.199999999999989" style="position: absolute; width: 6.4px; height: 4.2px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 277px; top: 341px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_40059086" scrolling="no"></iframe>

As fishnfool points out, the above Yamaha part # is the latest and improved 4th generation version of the 150 balancer. Are you saying your engines are 2002 and 2003 build dates? The above part # ending in -04-00 didn't come out until the 2012/2013 year built 150's, not 2004. Its the replacement for all model year 150's with HB problems. Give the folks at Sim Yamaha a call, they have the low down on the harmonic balancers and are very helpful in sorting out model and part numbers. I did mine a couple of years back(2006 builds) I don't believe you can tell from the outside of the part whether it is the latest part number. Just another annoying aspect if the balance issue.

I just bought a 09 2660 with twin 07 manufacture date 150s. Replaced the balancers myself a couple days ago and the old ones looked to be in perfect shape. Any way to tell if the balancers i took off were the new version?

With them off I'm sure you would be able to tell something to do with the oil paths but, I'm just not versed enough to tell you how exactly, sorry. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

Yes, I would be worried. I bought an 04 266 and noticed the whine right away. I replaced both with the 04 version. Within 2 yrs one blew on me, but did not blow the head. The plastic went throughout the block. My mechanic cleaned it all out for 2k after I paid $1200 originally to have them done. I contacted yamaha with pics and they said that is the latest version but there is no way it would fail and that I must have hit something. My mechanic is is yamaha cert and does all local marina rebuilds and warranty work. Says they are full of shit and has a bucket full of the latest versions that have failed. They wouldn't work with me on the price either since I was outside the 1 yr warranty on the parts. I've since repowered with 225's. Will not own a 150 again. Really had no issues except that, but those can go at anytime. I had no warning with this one, no whine sound. it just went. Happened 35 miles offshore. Low oil pressure alarm.

Ive never heard of a report of the latest version going. As an alternative take them out permanently if it is a concern to you.

Will not own a 150 again. I'm thinking I will not buy Yamaha at all again. I feel the customer service on this issue is horrible. That combined with the mid-section corrosion on the 225-250's with no support(IMO both caused by faulty materials or manufacturing), if I need to repower I'd go Suzuki. If a good used boat come around with Yamaha's I would consider it, but I would not buy new anymore. I used to be a fairly die hard Yamaha guy.

Any way to tell if the balancers i took off were the new version? Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedI have searched for an answer to your question of how to tell what version the balancer might be, but there doesn't seem to be a part number stamped into the balancer either internally or externally. The only change I could find is that beginning with motors built after 4/11 have a standing oil spray tube as shown in the upper left portion of the picture. I went back through the Yamaha Parts online catalog and found that there are several versions of the balancer dating back to the early 2000's models. The latest balancer version came with the 01/13 (and later) build date F150s: and this is the part # 63P-11500-04-00. The last four numbers changed over the years from 00-00, to 02-00, to the latest, 04-00. A side note is that the oil spay tube also came on the 03-00 version, build date 04/11. If the part number of the replacement balancer is 63P-11500-04-00, you have the latest version. I'm in a similar situation with a well cared for '12 2680 with twin 4/11 build date 150's. I decided it was worth the personal peace of mind to replace them since I'll be running offshore. I also agree that I take a hard look at the new Suzukis if I had 40K for a re-power.

Are these things in the F150XB and LF150XB from 2016 on? I just checked the Yamaha Online parts diagrams for the 2016-2018 F150XB and LF150XB and it shows they have the 63P-11500-04-00 balancers. These are the latest generation revised balancers. Here's a link to the Yamaha Parts diagrams: yamahamc.partsandwarranty.com/SyndicateNav.cfm Just start at the upper left column to select your engine and part from the step by step menus: + Outboard + 150 hp + F!50B & LF150B + F150XB 0116 + CYLINDER CRANKCASE 1 The balancer is part #26. Look to the list of parts to the right and you will see #26 is the balancer. This is a helpful tool and I use it all the time. Hope this helps.

All - Sorry to drag up on old post - I am looking at an 08 (2660 WAC) with twin 150 Yam's - Read a lot about the balancers on line. Would you stay away from the 150's all together and pass on a boat for that reason? last thing I want is an upgrade and then panic each time my engine makes a noise. Are the "04" vintage balancers seem to be robust (out since 13 I think)
