    Yamaha Outboard SLOW crank! Help!

    Ditto on pull the plugs and crank it to see if it cranks strongly. Battery cables should also be inspected for creeping corrosion from the terminal and back.Charlie

    200 hp Saltwaterseries lift motor engaging on its own.

    Thanks,I pretty much confirmed it after a very close look yesterday.The switch is beyond sensitive.I only touched the switch without pressing it and it activated and wouldn't stop until I pressed it in the opposite direction.Unplugging it is an easy way to trouble shoot as previously mentioned...

    Alpha one gen II leaking water near hydraulic hoses

    Get to the lowest part of your bell housing assembly outside your stern.There are 2 Frankenstein neck bolts, one on each side.They are made of zinc.Unscrew them and replace them and make sure you install the rubber washer under each one.If your boat does not have these zinc's ,gone from wear...

    Alpha one gen II leaking water near hydraulic hoses

    As Bondo mentioned, the drive should be pulled for servicing and having the drive off will give you a better perspective of the bell housing and bellows condition which are surely ready to be replaced.Transom kit would be a good idea.There is also a rubber washer under each acorn zinc and...

    Thanks for the reply Yam, I know exactly what he is saying. If you read one of my previous statements ,Im done for the season and I am fine with replacing a relatively inexpensive "suspect" part that I can do myself. When was the last time you could do a repair or part replacement for under $100...

    Spoken truly as a nonbeliever of preventative maintenance.My motto is "When in doubt...Change it out"......( especially if its priced reasonably) .I recommend you keep your towing insurance paid up Boscoe. Charlie

    Yes it seems like a simple unplug but my rig is home for the off season as of yesterday so I may replace it anyway in the offseason.Looks like a part that is les than $100 so why not replace.Charlie

    The switch on the motor cowl seems extremely sensitive and engages the moment I touch it without pressing on it.I think Im gonna change this switch out either way if it is not cost prohibitive.I gotta look up the part unless someone here already knows.? Charlie

    Tarps

    The darker the color in the sun the quicker it will wear.I run a line,/ rope,/cord thru all of my grommets on each side and do the tie downs on the line/rope/cord which puts less stress on the grommets making them last longer.You can also put the silver side out which for some reason nobody...

    2 flat & wavy washers along with plastic washer not under impeller cover ?

    The items missing will affect your water pump performance only.Get a manual and read how to be certain your lower is in neutral.You should be able to drop lower far enough without removing it to move shift shaft to where you can move prop until you achieve neutral.Clymer manual spells it out in...

    Ocean side has many beaches with mooring balls out quite a bit further than you are thinking.Lots of coral down there which could easily make your anchor a permanent resident of the ocean floor. Charlie
