    Exhaust Hose Removal Help,,,415 Cruisers Yachts Express MY 2007

    I have a 2007 415 Express MY which needs to have both exhaust hoses replaced. These are the hoses that run from the waterlift muffler, through a bulkhead and along both sides to the exhaust port on the transom of the boat. I have had mechanics on the boat for two days that removed cabinetry, the...

    Yanmar Diesel Puzzle

    Agreed it is a fuel problem. But when both engines are drawing off the port tank, the engines run well. When we put them on the starboard tank, we have the problem. BUT only the starboard engine. What am I missing?

    Yanmar Diesel Puzzle

    I have a puzzling issue that I will attempt to describe and sorry for the length of this post. We just picked up our “new” 2007 Cruiser Yachts 415 Express MY this past weekend in Massachusetts to bring it to Maryland. 90 minutes into our trip, we began to experience issues with the starboard...

    Yamaha 2014 F175XA WOT RPM Drop

    Yes we loosened the cap, checked the filters and lines. After we did all of that, we took it out a second time and the bulb did not collapse this time, but the engine did the same thing.

    Yamaha 2014 F175XA WOT RPM Drop

    We are experiencing a complete loss of power after about 30 seconds of running at WOT (reading about 5200 RPMs). All filters/fluids were changed before putting it in the water. Seems to run well at about 3200 RPM's (my normal running speed). Our first thought was an air vent block (we noticed...

    I have an ongoing hydraulic steering leak. We have replaced the pump and hose. At idle, we see no leak anywhere. But after a two to three hours of use, there is noticeable fluid in the bilge and I lose power steering. It takes an entire bottle of fluid to be filled. Do I need a new...

    Yamaha F175XA Cooling System Problem...help?

    Thank you everyone. The rubber seal and clip were missing. They did not come in the impeller kit and we did not realize there were additional parts. We also flushed some additional pieces of impeller out as well. All is working well now. Thank you all

    Yamaha F175XA Cooling System Problem...help?

    I have a 2014 Yamaha F175XA outboard that has operated flawlessly. However, a mechanic changed the oil and filters and used the flush port to run the engine (yes I now know this was bad). We put it in the water, and the impeller fell apart. I have removed the lower unit, flushed the system...

    Mercury 50HP EFI Bigfoot Spraying Fuel in Water

    I am having a continual (third time in three years) problem with fuel streaming out of the bottom of the upper unit of my engine. It looks like it is "peeing" fuel. There is a fitting on the underside (port side) of the engine. The engine has been running well for two months this year without...
