Lock lever not down ? does it move up and down at all , the tilt tube could be siezed ,both trim solinoides working ? try standing on the engine gearbox as you trim down or manually release ! if then goes down try injecting the grease nipples with petrol via a grease gun that uses tubes like tooth paste and this will soak the corrosion ! then grease and see if free and if not enough then lift the engine off and remove the tilt tube and clean the sleeves and grease and refit !

SOURCE: yamaha 115 will not shut off with key or kill switch

not enough information on the motor. what year and model? but all yamaha outboards are shut down by the C.D.I. being grounded by the key switch or the emergency kill switch. the cheapest thing to test or replace is the key switch and the emergency kill. with more info on engine I can help you further.

115 yamaha sho vmax over 3500 rpm it reves up and down under 2400 it stays even rpm. 2017 yr.

If your 115 Yamaha SHO VMAX outboard engine is experiencing RPM fluctuations at speeds over 3500 RPM, it may be due to a few different factors. Here are some things to check:
  1. Fuel supply: Make sure that the fuel supply to the engine is consistent and free from any debris or obstructions. Check the fuel filters, fuel lines, and fuel pump for any signs of damage or clogging.
  2. Spark plugs: Check the spark plugs to make sure they are clean and functioning properly. If the spark plugs are worn or dirty, they may cause the engine to misfire at higher RPMs.
  3. Throttle position sensor: The throttle position sensor (TPS) sends a signal to the engine control module (ECM) to adjust the fuel and air mixture. If the TPS is not functioning correctly, it may cause the engine to fluctuate at higher RPMs.
  4. Air intake system: Make sure that the air intake system is clean and free from any debris or obstructions. Check the air filter and air intake hoses for any signs of damage or clogging.
  5. ECM software updates: Check with your Yamaha dealer to see if there are any available software updates for the ECM that may improve the engine's performance.
If you are unable to diagnose and fix the issue on your own, it may be necessary to take the engine to a professional technician for further diagnosis and repair.
