    2013 Yamaha T9.9 sudden idle issue

    Bought engine new. Has about 300 hours on it I'd guess. Always runs on non ethanol. It's been great ...no issues and has idled perfectly since new. Yesterday it starts running rough at low rpm and dies at idle. Higher rpm seem fine. At mid rpms it will drop to an idle then surge back up...

    T9.9 extra long shaft outboard impeller replacement

    On the extra long 25" shaft version of the T9.9 there is a spacer of about 2.75" on the top of the lower unit. To remove the water pump housing this must also be removed. It seems firmly attached but I don't see any bolts. Any trick to removing this? Thanks in advance!

    Tohatsu charging system install on 2005 4HP 4-stroke

    I ordered the charging system/rectifier for my 4HP Tohatsu, and it's here. The instructions it came with have rather unintuitive cad sketches ...and no description of disassembly is given. Is there a good full outline of the steps I need to take anywhere? Ideally with a picture or two? My...
