    '98 Yamaha 115 tilt/trim locked up?

    A couple of weeks ago, I cranked up the motor and was getting it ready for an outing. Went to tilt the motor up and nothing. No sound, no movement. Checked everything out and it's a bad pump. Getting power, but doing nothing. I turned the screw to release the tilt/trim and still could not...

    Bolts broke when I attempted to replace my tilt/trim motor, so I removed the entire assembly. Now that it's all put back together, I've put everything back together. While the assembly was off and I was repairing broken bolts and getting it all fixed, all of the fluid leaked out all over the...

    Yamaha 90 no fire on cylinder 1

    My son has a 2004 Yamaha 90 TLRB. Cranks and runs great until you try to get to WOT. Bogs down and falls on its face. Idles great. After doing a little checking we're finding no fire on cylinder #1. Swapped coils around and still just #1 not firing. It's getting gas to plugs, but no spark...

    '89 Mercury 9.9 parts needed

    I bit off more than I can chew on this outboard purchase from a neighbor. It's a special motor made for sail boats and pontoons. It's a long shaft and made woth work with a control box. It's a tiller handle, but you twist the handle and nothing happens. There seems to be cables that can be...

    If you had room on your dash panel for one more gauge, and you had everything you otherwise needed, which of those would you choose for a 2 stroke?

    '98 115 Yamaha runs hot if over 4,000 RPM's

    Late spring, I replaced the water pump, removed cylinder heads and exhaust cover and cleaned out all sediment (there wasn't much gunk in there), replaced poppett valve and checked thermostats. They both opened and closed at the correct temperature. Today, any time I got close to WOT, it would...

    What gauge should I add?

    I have a 1999 Sailfish with a Yamah 115 and the stock digital gauges provide me with gauges for fuel, tilt, tack, speedometer. I've purchased a small in dash digital Humminbird depth gauge and sounder that I use when cruising and don't really need to turn on the Humminbird Helix 7 that I have...

    How to adjust throttle friction on 1999 Yamaha 1152

    I have a 1999 Sailfish 198DC with a 115 Yamaha. I have no idea what model controller I have but it's a simple single handle with tilt/trim button. The only thing that is actually exposed is the handle. I need to adjust the friction. There is one screw with access, but if that's it, it is...

    115 Yamaha overheat alarm at 1,800 - 2,000 RPM's

    My 9 year old granddaughter asked me to take her tubing today. Great fun! I dropped everything to take her and my son out in the boat. Boat ran great, but on 3 occasions while I was running at about 2000 RPM's to go pick her up or just to make it through no wake zones, the overheat alarm went...

    OEM digital gauges for 1999 115 Yamaha

    I guess I've not been doing a good job keeping the cover on my boat. The gauges have gotten all cloudy and I can't read them any more. They're the OEM 2 round gauge set. Does anyone have a set laying around that they're not using that they would like to sell or trade something for them? I've...

    (1998 S115TLRX)I'm sure I've just never noticed this before, but rebuilding my carbs and while scrubbing and cleaning I just noticed that the holes in the choke butterfly plates have different sizes. On the top carburetor, the holes in the choke plate are abut 1/8" in diameter, but the bottom...

    1999 Yamaha 115 idle adjustment

    I have a couple of questions about my 115 Yamaha (S115TLRX). It's on my 1999 Sailfish 198DC. When I first got the boat, when I turned the key to the on position, I remember hearing a sound that sounded like my bilge pump turned on for about a second. It doesn't do that any more, and I've...

    I've sprung a leak! Help Please!

    I have a 2000 Sailfish 198 DC. A couple of years ago, I had a roller fall apart and damage the hull in the bow area. I replaced the roller and patched the "soft spot" or dent that it left in the boat with fiberglass mat and resin. A couple of weeks ago, while sitting on a beach surrounded by...

    Where might I find a website or paint supplier that can provide color matching paint for my boat? I'm just doing some minor repairs of chips/dings/scratches both above ad below water line. It's a white boat, but I know there are approximately a zillion shades of white out there. Thanks in...

    2001 Johnson 115 thermostats

    So, my son has an overheating problem on his 2001 Johnson 115. Impeller replaced already, but still has overheating alarm going off. I'm guessing thermostats and or pressure relief valves (Poppets). Before I volunteer to help, I'm wondering if this model has the nightmare thermostat housing...

    1999 Yamaha 115 difficult to start

    My 115 is almost impossible to start. Runs great once it starts, but that takes forever. Lately, the only way to get it to crank and stay running is to press the button to disengage the shifter and set the handle at 3/4 throttle. It starts and revs up incredibly high. I pump the bulb up...

It was used with remote start, steer, shift/throttle controls, but I want to put it on a small boat and use it as a standard tiller motor. It has...

    I'v struggled with possible carb problems for several years. Finally, I broke down and bought new carbs. Still have the same problems. Choke it and lift the fast idle and it fires up and revs high. Try to throttle down and it shuts off. I've tried everything. I recently had to replace a...
