    I am replacing the trim/ tilt motor on my yamaha 60 hp. It has 3 bolts with one in the back where you can't get to it. Is there some kind of trick to get to that bolt or do you have to pull the motor off? Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Amount of gear oil in lower unit.

    I just recently bought a new boat with a 60 hp yamaha on it. I changed the lower unit oil and it only seems to take about half a quart to fill it up. When I try and squirt it into the top hole it pressurizes and spits back out. I got about half a quart in there. Is that all it takes?

    Could water in the gas tank cause this problem?

    I am still having a problem with my mercruiser 305. It will run at 10 mph all day long. But I can give it more throttle and it will either choke out or stay at the same rpm with the stick all the way down. I pulled the fuel water separator and dumped it into a glass. It was clean fuel until the...
