    Yam 703 control compatibility '89 -> '07

    I replaced my 1989 40 HP with a 2007 50 HP 2 stroke. Kept my controls but the throttle cable end seems too long. Did Yamaha reverse the push/pull direction between those years?

    What would you do?

    I have a 1989 40 HP 2 stroke 3 Cyl Yamaha. Slipping out of gear, plus it's got low compression. A dealer in town had a 2007 50 HP 2 stroke 3 Cyl that I bought. Would you keep the 40 around for potential parts on the 2007? I know they are 18 years apart, but they look identical.

    Jon boat transom raise

    You know the story, went from short shaft to long. Anyways, this is what I came up with. I don't weld and the aluminum was from a shelving unit behind my work. Only thing I bought were the bolts and the composite decking. Might add some bracing, but it feels pretty stout. Hope it works out...

    Symptom: Engine would start and run cold, but once I ran it a while.........it would not start back up. Engine has strong compression and is getting plenty of fuel. Seemed like an ignition issue, so I started by replacing the ignition coil packs. Yes, I probably should have learned how to...

    1980 25HP Evinrude Starting Problem

    I have a 1980 25HP Evinrude rope start tiller. I am having a problem getting it started after it has warmed up. When I first put the boat in the water it fires right up, even with no choke. After I run it for 15 minutes or so, the engine is almost impossible to start back up. I have tried...

    Opinons on top speed?

    Alright I just bought my first boat 1968 Shell Lake 15' fiberglass tri-hull. The interior is gutted minus two casting decks on the front and back. This boat is used for fishing. The boat seems pretty light made of thin fiberglass. I can lift it of the hitch without too much problem...
