    Navigation Light Wiring

    Ok, usually I can figure this stuff out ok but when fishing the other night, my nav lights decided to stop working. I knew it was the switch because I could feel the internals getting messed up. It would click over one way for just anchor light but to get both nav and anchor I would need to...

    2001 Yamaha 130hp 2-stroke woes

    Ok, started it up for the new season and it ran perfect. Didnt even change the spark plugs yet. Brought it down to the marina, dropped it in the water, started her up, and she would not stay running. No big deal I though, ran it with the choke on thinking some water was in the gas. Still...

    Prop Question

    Ok, before I start, it has nothing to do with dia, or pitch. :D But, the leading edges of my stainless steel prop for my 130 HP Yamaha have become a little rough over the years. Would you guys think its a good idea to take a small grinder to it like a dremel to smooth out the leading edges?

    Need Help on Small Engine

    All of a sudden my mo-ped has gone to ****. The engine is a Robin (EH035) and its running horrible. It wont start (recoil) unless you hold the throttle wide open. Even then, while holding it wide open its pushing idle RPM's. I cleaned the carb 4+ time and it still runs like crap. But when you...

    Proper Trim Height at Plane

    What do you guys think is the proper trim height for my boat. Its a 18 ft CC Scout with a 130 Yamaha on it. Should I have it trimmed so Im throwing a rooster tail or a tad below that? Im turning about 6000 RPM when its throwing the tail @ 48 MPH.

    Scout to Glastron

    Well, I might acually be trading in my Scout, to a Glastron GT. We just got the Glastron in at work (were a dealer). Its so new that Glastron.com dosent even have it listed. I believe its a 209 with a 5 liter with a cuddy cabin in the front instead of the traditional bow rider. Oh and did I...
