Many possibilities. Depends on your steering system: cable or hydraulic. Could be low hydraulic fluid or broken cable, damaged gear in steering column and more. If you not familiar with that systems then take it to your mechanic.

SOURCE: yamaha outboard 150 4 stroke bad vibration at 700

is you propeller bent? a dent the size of a quarter will cause a shake. If not that means your engine is misfiring. here are the troubleshooting test and tool list you need to find out. Tools(1) A compression gauge (2) a spark gap tester.(3) A Clymer service manual for your engine. (you can purchase from your local outboard dealer. I know all these are expensive but if your going to be a outboard tech you will always need them. Troubleshooting (1) check compression. without the year model I'm giving you a average numbers. Look at your Clymer manual. all cylinders need to be over 100 lbs and equal each other within 5 lbs.(2) check spark. use a spark gap tester all cylinders should jump a half inch gap. if you have good compression and good spark, fuel is the problem nine times out of ten.Ethanol gas is proven to stay stable in fuel systems for 30 days in 90 + degree heat. Drain gas tank,clean fuel lines replace primer bulb and replace all fuel filters. Yamaha has a gravity filter under engine coul clean it. Finally replace spark plugs, I know spark plugs probably don't look bad but this is a outboard. Fresh spark plugs means less resistance for the ignition system. The ignition system is week compared to automotive. Test drive boat, if the problem is still there then there is further steps to take. Again I don't know the year model so I guessing its fuel injected. Pull out your clymer manual. what is great about the Clymer Manual for Novice techs is it gives detailed info on your outboard. Troubleshooting tips and teaches you how your outboard works.

What is the float setting for an '04 150 Yamaha 2 stroke

Every 2 stroke I've ever worked on, the float is set parallel to the bottom of the carburetor. Turn the carb upside down and look to see if the float is even with the bottom of the carb.

Does yamaha make 2 stroke 90 hp outboard motors during in 2016-17-18

yamaha like all engine manufacturers are controlled by the EPA in the countries they are sold
In most countries the use by date has been established and 2018 is the end date that they can be sold with the start date being as early as 2015
So to comply with EPA requirements, yamaha would be allowed to sell off existing stock but the retail section ( local dealers ) would be restricted form selling them in certain countries
So to answer your question
No yamaha would not be making 2 strokes after 2015 as they could not sell them so any you see would be existing stock in dealers being sold off

Trying too establish what year this motor is it a 2 stroke 80 hp 6hoL450289 yamaha outboard motor.

Try contacting Yamaha direct or a reputable outboard dealers for the address, they will point you in the right direction, like all motors manufactured the makers keep a record of the serial number, i recently tracked this down for a friends Perkins Diesle engine that is running a generator in the middle of Spain, it turns out that his engine came from a 1912 lorry.

Good luck
