    First Time Crank Up For The Year

    Hi Guys, Last summer I bought the first I/O boat I have ever had. Just as an FYI, it is a 1992 Yamaha 4.3 6cyl. on the chevy smalI block but this isn't really an outdrive specific question. It ran great all summer. I winterized it, literally removing all hoses (really more for inspection and a...

    Yamaha I/O Oil Vent

    Ok, so i am trying to drain and replace the oil out of the foot on my Yamaha I/O. I. Think the previous owner may have over tightened the vent screw on top. I got the drain screw out, but the vent I simply cannot get to break open. Even tried tapping with a hammer on the end of the screwdriver...

    Yamaha 4.3 Shifting Question

    As mentioned in my previous post about tilt, I just got a boat with a 1992 Yamaha I/O 4.3.

    Looking For a Used Shift Lever for 1983 Johnson 115. Any Ideas???

    I am looking for a used shift lever for my 1983 Johnson 115. My original got a crack in it years ago, and now is trying to separate on me.

    Black oil on prop

    My 1983 Johnson 115 has been sitting up for 2 years. Thanks to your help, I now figured out the problem with the trim. I pulled it out and put it on the muffs and ran it a few minutes the other day. Yesterday I noticed that. There was some dark black oil that had ran out onto the prop from...

    1984 DT60 Starter Issue

    I rebuilt the carbs on my buddy's 1984 DT60 earlier this spring. I finally went over to see if we could get it to crank. All I got was a click from the solenoid. The starter was getting very hot, but the starter never moved. Is this solenoid bad or is it the starter? How should I proceed...

    Carb Leaking Fuel Out the Top

    Hi Guys, I have a friend with a 60HP Suzuki (DT60 I believe). I am about to try to fix his carb issue for him. He tells me that last year it would crank right up, but fuel was squirting out of one of the two holes in the top of the carb as viewed from the side. The holes are located beneath the...
