Its a 2008 two stroke. with 40 hours. Had the 20 hours service. Of course, I run the corn laced gas. I probably wont use the boat for a month or so since its January and getting freakin cold. Ok it's Charleston SC but its cold to me.
Rodbolt says - you are not going to drain all of the gas out of the carbs by pulling the fuel line and lettin her run out. This was from another post. With that said -
Is it reccommended to drain the carbs if the boat will sit for 30 to 60 days?
The next question is probably answered in the engine manual of which I don't have...yet. I ordered the yamaha one.
What, if any, loctite type stuff should be put on the drain screws when replacing? Is there a torque spec or just nice and snug?
Rodbolt - thanks for all of your great information you give the members of iboats. You tell it like it is and the way it should be done or else..."poof goes your engine" Also, I didn't realize you were a Yamaha Master Tech however I should have. Your knowledge of Yamahas is increadable. Considering the amount of time you must spend on this site tells me you don't need to look at the manuals very much, you already know it. I was also surprised there are only about 50 in the states. You are a member of a very exclusive club there. Congrats.
