    What is this tube for on a Yamaha 60LB

    I just received a new Yamaha 60LB prop model that I needed to install a tiller handle on to. This tube was hanging out of the grommet hole. I couldn't find anything about it online or in any of the manuals that came with the outboard or tiller.

    Yamaha 60LB propeller hardware

    I just got a new prop model Yamaha 60LB. When I was going to install a prop on it, I found that it didn't come with a washer and spacer like my previous Tohatsu, ETEC outboards and the ones listed in the owner's manual. I've included a photo of what I got. How do I use the spacers? that came...

    Tohatsu MFS50A intermittent power loss

    I've got a 2015 MFS50A tiller model that has been used for a little over 200 hours. Just recently it started to feel like it has a minor power loss while cruising at mid to upper rpm that last for a couple seconds each time it happened. The last time I noticed it happening it lasted a lot longer...

    Part Confirmation Please

    I have a 2008 ETEC 65 model E65WDRLSC that recently my sons dropped causing the throttle handle to break. I looked at a parts catalog here and found that I need part #2 "inner steering handle". So I'm wondering if I need to order any other parts to repair my motor other than part #2. I do have a...

    Will a 550 cca battery be enough?

    I just ordered a new 4 stroke Tohatsu 50 outboard motor that doesn't come with a battery. The pdf manual for the motor states that a 12v 850 cca is recommended, 1000 cca for cold weather. The closest place I can order a battery only has 550 cca marine batteries for sale. They do have 850 cca...

    Gas dripping out of pisser

    What would cause gas to drip out of the pisser of my 2007 E65WDRLSCS? Every time I stop the motor it would drip for about 20-30 minutes then stop. I opened the cover but didn't see or smell any gas fumes when I brought it home one day. Any ideas? Thanks.

    65 ETEC won't start

    My 65 exec was running fine last year and ever since then has been sitting inside for the winter. I didn't do any winterizations to it and now it won't start up. I thought it would be the kill switch shorting so I tried cutting the wires and still it didn't start up. I used new gas and from what...

    Worn driveshaft splines

    Earlier my Johnson 55 model J55RSLC quit going forward or reverse and I noticed no water coming out of indicator. Back on land I removed the gear case to find that the splines of the driveshaft were worn. Never having seen this before, I'm wondering if the splines on the crankshaft would also be...

    Blind Rivets and Gluvit

    I've got an 18' SSV Lund that leaks pretty good and I want to replace some rivets now and later on, seal it with some Gluvit, something I haven't done before. I was planning on ordering 1/4" blind rivets but, I don't know which length I should order. Which size would work better on a Lund...

    J55RSLC problem with gear case?

    I was cruising around when I hit some slushy water where my motor got really weak. It won't propel my boat faster than 3.3 mph and when I turn up the throttle all it does is create a lot of smoke and bubbles out of the prop. Any ideas on what happened? Is the gear case screwed up?

    Removing clamp screws from a 1997 J55RSLC motor

    I've got a Johnson 1997 J55RSLC that needs new clamp screws, swivel plates and handles but, I can't figure out how to remove the screws. Is there a trick that I am missing? Also, I was looking at a parts microfiche schematic breakdown for the parts I need to order and it shows that only one is...

    Small Vessel U.S. Waters Requirement

    Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. If it is, please move it to that appropriate one. I don't know anything much about the requirements for sailboats in the U.S. waters but, when I seen one without any flags or a name on it, it got me curious. The attached photo is cropped pretty heavily that...

    Indexed spark plug within spec?

    I've never indexed a spark plug before and I was just wondering if this is within spec for a 2007 model Etec E65WDRLSCS. It's torqued at 15 ft. lbs.

    Etec 65 problem with cold weather?

    Temps were around 16 F with winds around 15 mph making it feel roughly -3 degrees F. Motor was running fine until I had the lower unit above water for an hour or so. I completely forgot about keeping it in the water at the time. After that I noticed it was running a bit weak but the 18 ft lund...

    Splicing kill switch wires

    I've got a 1997 J55RSLC that had it's tiller handle kill switch wires cut. Would it be alright if I splice them until I order a new one? If I can splice them do the wires need to be connect specifically e.g. wire A to wire A? The wires afaik are not color coded. TIA

    Rope Start 65 Commercial ETEC

    Whenever my 65 ETEC runs out of gas it's a b**** to startup again. I followed the instructions in the manual to the letter but it takes a LOT of pulls to start it back up again. I know of a couple other owners that are seeing the same thing happen with their rope start 40 & 65 ETECs. Is this...

    Spark failure 1997 J55RSLC

    Recently while running the motor WOT it started to run on one cylinder, checking to see which spark plug failed I found that the top spark plug had broken in half around the insulator. Installed a new plug, started up the motor fine, planed the boat up to WOT and the plug started misfiring after...
