    First Time Boat owner needs advise

    hugh g is right. Does the boat have a deep V hull? If so I'm guessing that's the DV.

    75hp Suzuki running hot

    Impellers dry out if not used much. It's not a good thing that you replaced the impeller a few years back and only run it a few hours a year. Since the motor runs then bogs down I would check or replace the fuel filter and make sure the vent is clear. Also if you can duplicate the problem at...

    No water flow at low RPM

    When was the water pump replaced last? Does it happen with the boat in the water or the motor on muffs?

    2013 Yamaha 25hp 4 stroke running hot

    Replace water pump. Are you using muffs or is the motor in a tank? If in a tank is the water level above the pump? Do you know when the pump was replaced last? Either way replace it, who knows the thing that was blocking the pisser water may be part of the impeller.

    Impeller challenged...?

    You said "I put her in the river...idling.". Was the motor running before you got it in the water? Are you positive you had the impeller viens in the correct direction? I always lube the impeller with a little dish soap and water.

    You guys in other states need to realize the DMV in CA operate as though we're in the 1980's as far as customer service and technology go.

    Tahoe 2150 battery dead

    Theoretically all of your electronics are turned off they should be off and drawing no current. If you have an amp meter connect it in series with each accessories and see if any are drawing current when turned off. If you don't have a meter do what alldodge suggested, looking for a spark then...

    Got a free boat!

    I'm in So Cal that's why I suggested you forget about calling the DMV. I just took a closer look at the boat. Are the seats, transom, tires and trailer in as bad shape as they look? Is the trailer painted brown or is it rusted? The seats are shot, how does the inside look?

    Got a free boat!

    Don't bother calling the DMV, they're a joke and a waste of time. Go online to make an appointment to register the boat and trailer. Drive there with the boat and trailer and all of the paperwork you have, your checkbook and patience. Any guesses you get here are just guesses. What matters is...

    Tahoe 2150 battery dead

    What accessories do you have such as a radio or other 12 v electronics? Do you have a battery switch installed? Next time someone says " it was likely time to replace the battery" don't believe them without testing the battery first, that was an absolute uneducated default guess.

    Radio turning off at certain volume

    Exactly what KD4UPL said. There may be a bad connection, either the ground or pos side. When you turn the volume up the radio draws more current. If there's a bad connection the voltage drops causing the radio to shut down.
