    Replacing a single outboard piston, new piston is 30 grams lighter?

    Actually replacing two pistons on a 2005 yamaha 150txr 2-stroke outboard. Bought from two different companies, one is 7 grams heavier than stock, the other is 30 grams lighter. How concerned should I be? Just looking to have something running on the cheap. Doesnt have to be perfect, just "good enough."

    You’ll be fine if you’re not turning stupid RPM.
