    2020 Yamaha 90 buzzing

    It was a negative cable, not connected at all to the battery post. One of four was not hooked up after replacing the battery. Dang it. Totally my doing. Hooked it up and it runs again. Wish I hadn't beat on the starter now. Lol. Thanks for the help.

    2020 Yamaha 90 buzzing

    I didnt use 2020 Benninton Pontoon boat with 90hp Yamaha for a month and a half. It was in the marina slip covered. Went to start and nothing. Went to boost pack start it and it gave an error that the polarity was reversed or that the cables were backwards. They were not though and the pack...

    Forward = no go and stall

    I was cruising in my boat and heard a snap. Nearly spilled my liquor all over my son. Just kidding. There was no drift wood or skier in the water. The boat bogged down for a mile. It then stopped going forward. It would start back up, but would just crap out when I went in forward. Old lady...

    Won't go forward

    I was fishing on Lake Anna in Virginia and the boat was running the best it had run since I owned it. I had recently switched to Yamalube two trips ago and the motor was loving it. It levels out at 3800 rpms and then I hold it around 4000. I am not hard on it. I was cruising around at that...

    87 Yamaha 50 Pro G precision oiler help

    How do I know it is oiling, besides smoke? The light on the tach was green, but halfway through the day it started running rough and wasn't smoking. Ran it another mile and then added oil to gas. Never confident it is working. I like the idea of precision mix though. Any easy test for...

    Tach question ??

    The motor is a 87 Yamaha 50hp pro G. The tachometer is zero when the motor is off and when you turn the key and start the motor the tachometer pegs to the right. The motor is running fine though. It isn't revving up with the tachometer. The tachometer is just 0 or pegged to the right. What do...

    Spark plug question

    I have a 87 Yamaha Pro 50 outboard that calls for a NGK B8HS-10 spark plug. I accidentally bought NGK BR8HS-10 plugs. Does anyone know if this plug is an acceptable replacement? Thanks for your help.

    Please identify this part

    So my new used boat (87 Yamaha Pro 50G outboard) was acting funny on first trip. It has that precision blend mix system that holds oil and gas in separate tanks. Well the plastic piece was broken that opens oil pump up with carb. It had safeties that slowed motor speed and rpms that worked...

    Battery charger question

    So I have a two battery setup. One cranking battery and a 27 series deep cycle for the trolling motor. The new XPS charger from Bass Pro Shop that I'm looking at is a dual band 5/5 battery charger. 5 amps for each battery, but it will send 8 to one and 2 to the other if one is stronger. It...

    Boat plug question

    So my 87 Ashcraft (in the picture) is a fiberglass mold. It has the usual plug in the transom at the bottom of the shoe box size recessed area that the bilge pump sits in. On the other side of the bilge area is another plug. It plugs a hole that leads to the front of the boat under the...

    Trailer bearing info needed

    So I got my first boat. It seems to be in better shape than the trailer. While replacing the tires due to drywall rot, I noticed the hub has wiggle in it. I towed the boat from NC to VA (300+ miles) checking the bearings often. They were never hot. Cooler than the tires. Equal amount of...
