    Yamaha tachometer erratic

    Hey guys, I have a new to me 2002 Yamaha Ox66 225 with what I believe is a standard Yamaha OEM digital multifunction tachometer gauge that the previous owner installed. Well as it has probably happened to every one at some point my tach is not functioning right and I'm not sure what to check...

    I got a pair of MCM Custom Audio 60-10031 8" Wakeboard speakers for Christmas. I realize they are not the best speakers in the world, but they were a gift and I want to put them to use. I do not know anything about pairing amps with speakers but I do know that I need an amp to power these...

    kill switch help

    Hey guys, first off I have a 2006 Bayliner 195 with a 4.3L MPI. I have been having starting issues lately and I think I have narrowed it down to the kill switch. As it stands initially when I turn the key it beeps as it should, but then there's no noise from the engine trying to start. If I...

    Wiring though wakeboard tower

    I have run into a problem. I am trying to run wires for my new white anchor light on top of my wakeboard tower but I cannot for the life of me find any way to get the wires through. I spent HOURS trying to suck various fishing line and other string through the tower leg with my shop vac but...

    Advice on swim platform

    Hey guys, I have come across a used swim platform on the wonder that is Craigslist listed for $100. I have not gone to see it in person as it is quite a haul from where I live. I am wondering if it would be useable with my boat, and aside from holding it up next to my boat, what I would look at...

    Do you take down your wakeboard racks?

    I just installed my tower so I am new to this. But I have 2 wakeboard racks (1 on each side) and of course the mount is on with a piece of rubber that goes between the tower leg and the mount. Do you guys take the racks off after each outing so that the rubber spacer thing does not dry rot?

    New wakeboard tower!

    Installed my Aerial Airborne wakeboard tower this weekend. Install went pretty good, but I do not know how to run the wires for the light that goes on top. I know the wires will run through the tubes and I have to drill holes for them to exit, but how do you wire around the joints? How do you...

    Brakes reccomendation

    I need to install brakes on my single axle trailer. I replaced the axle and removed the old rusted out brake plates-it used to have drum brakes. There is no longer a brake line and currently the drums are not on the trailer either-oh and I'm told that I should also replace the master cylinder...

    Tachometer goes crazy

    We had a glitch with my engine coming back to the dock yesterday-my RPM's were all over the place at one point. I was running around 30mph and the engine was around 3300 RPM but then my tachometer shot up to 4900 and back down, and kept going up and down like that. The engine never sounded...

    Fried stereo?

    Last weekend I took a wave over the bow when a met a large wake and immediately there was an awful loud low tone buzz from the speakers instead of music. I shut off the radio at that point to check it later. When looking at the radio itself, all looks totally normal. The display is fine, shows...

    Kids on the boat

    I am sure some of you have dealt with this before so I thought I would ask. We have a 4 year old (turns 5 in 2 months) and I am wondering what we can do with her aside from sitting her in a tube. Has anyone tried out those trainer knee boards for kids? I have also seen a wooden thing that...

    Minor Engine Reving

    I noticed the last 2 times I ran my engine on the hose after taking the boat out that the engine will rev up to near 2k RPMS then back down to 750 or so. It does not stay there for long, maybe stays above 1,000 RPMS for about 10-15 sec before dipping back down. But it will do this a couple of...

    Seawater cooling system

    Before storing my boat I drained the water from the "seawater cooling system" and now I am curious if you have to refill it somehow before running the boat again. I did not fill it with antifreeze which I guess some people do I just left it empty...If I run the engine on the hose will it fill...
