    ICOM GP 360 ML ?? Can I change the batterye

    This GPS came with the boat I recently purchased. The manual states that the battery should be replaced in about 5 years, which is about the age of this GPS. Has any person changed the battery in this unit? Is it a readily available item. Thanks

    Installing new fuel sending unit . Tank screws r bad.

    Taking out the old rusted sending unit in my tank I realized water was entering the tank from under it.The screw holes in the plastic(actually embedded nuts were rotted and of little use. Will 3m 5200 and self tapping screws into the plastic itself suffice to anchor the nes sending unit?

    150 HP 1995 What else may trigger the fuel restriction alarm.

    Went from thinking overheat to realizing it was fuel restriction. I just removed the sending unit, the tank and fuel pickup in the tank were really clean. Could water in the tank somehow set off the alarm, by temporarily restricting flow at the filter? Could it mean the pump is bad? Is there a...

    1995 150 Evinrude What triggers fuel restriction alarm.

    Well of course its probably a fuel restriction. My question is where does it sense the restriction from and how does it operate. I am certain my tank needs to be cleaned but how does this thing sense a restriction. Thanks.

    1995 150 Evinrude fuel filter question.

    Just put a glass inline filter on my boat and saw some nasty things flowing through. Checked my fuel filter at the fuel pump and there were some particles in it. I just purchased the boat a little while ago and can see there have been fuel flow restriction problems. I just swithed out my anti...

    Fuel tank sender, lines, replacing.

    I just put in an inline filter , glass so as to view what was going through. I will put in a better fuel water seperater later. To my horror nasty bits of crud and moisture could be seen. My built in 80 gallon plastic tank has a bit of a low spot on the top where the sending unit bolts on. It...

    New to me. Went out first time and alarm sounded and hot light lit on the tach. Changed out the water pump and tstats and still does the same. Motor runs fine, only alarms above about 3800 RPM. Plenty of water from the telltale. Even after the alarm sounds the water from the telltale is not...

    1996 Evinrude 150 Running off rinse out OK?

    Is it OK to run the enging hose running with no muffs but to the rinse out instead? Or is the rinse out only to rinse out while not running the engine? I am calling the hose fitting near the exhaust the rinse out. Thanks.

    Evinrude Ocean Pro 150 1996 Idle ?

    Just purchased a 21' Striper with a 150. Running it at home on the driveway with either muffs or washout hose it idles at about 1000 RPM. This seems quite high. Will it be lower in the water or should I adjust it before the maiden voyage. Ordered a manual on eBay should be here in a few...

    1986 50 ETLK Yamaha- Stutters past 4500 RPM

    Can't figure it out. Thought it was a fuel issue. Replaced the fuel pump, tried other fuel line, rebuilt the carbs(they appeared fine but purchased the OEM kit anyway), bypassed the fuel water seperater. Fuel does not seem to be the issue.Idles perfectly. When I slowly increase the throttle I...

    50 HP ETLK 1986 Yammy Weak Spark ?

    Thought I had a fuel problem but not. Yellow spark on middle cylinder. Have not had time to test. Would it be more likely a bad coil or could this be a CDI problem. Idles fine, starts right up. Will not run above 5000 RPM without breaking up.( Actually it will go up to 5600 or so then start to...

    Rodbolt Please -Float Tang Jet Adjustment

    This is a general question about the float and needle valve operation. Is the small wire clip which hooks to the needle valve supposed to pull the valve down as the float drops or it it the pressure of the fuel pump which forces the needle valve down. As my carbs are apart I am checking out the...

    1995 200 HP Johnson Ocean Runner carb?

    Went out today on a freinds boat and had engine problems. We were able to get it to start by taking off the carb intake. First the engine would not start at all. We removed the carb cover and after cranking for a while it finnally started. Looking at the lower left carb we noticed that fuel was...
