Took my boat on a sea trial today with a prospective buyer...we had a compression check done on the engines before going out with readings posted below...
Starboard engine had the following systems before failure...
1. engine bogged slightly at higher RPM's but seemed to...
Good Morning,
My primary Multi-Guage that measures speed and gas is hard to read. The image is liquid I'm guessing and when the guage gets hot from the sun radiating on it, it hard to see its readings. In the a.m. when its cooler outside, you can read the guage, but as the day heats up, image...
I was trying to detemin how many hours on my 93 L200Hp TXRR's. My multi-guage has two buttons, a set and a menu. When you push the menu, one engine shows 114hrs and the other guage shows 115hrs on the other engine respectively. How can I tell if these numbers are true?
I bought the boat 2 yrs...
I'll try to keep the questions simple....
1. Can power steering fluid be used in the hydraulics steering or do I need a hydraulic fluid...also, what brand.
2. Could my trim motor be running low on fluid. It is sluggish going up and down. How do I add fluid?
3. How difficult is it to change...

I have had much help from this forum so here is a new concern that I could use more assistance with...
95' twin 200hp yami's
When backing today, one of the engines made a grinding sound and stalled. I restarted and backed again with the same grinding with very little to no backward movement...
I've been storing my 28' Mako in a Hi & Dry Marina for several years. All boat owners received a letter this weekend that the Marina is closing and everyone willl need to find new homes for their boats. Marina is also closing wet slips and asking those owners to move also.
I've been looking for...
This may seem like a small problem but I've heard that its common in Hi &Dry storage marinas. When I bring my boat in from a long day of fishing, the marina is responsible for pulling the boat out, flushing the engines and turning the batteries off. Some days when I go back out on the water, I...
Engines running very well. Noticed today that just behind the steering hydraulics, there is a bar/shaft that appears to have a large amoung of rust. Also, there are 2 bolts holding this shaft in place that have alot of rusttoo. Why is this rusting so bad and is there anything I need to be...
Took out my 93 200hp Yami to give it a second run after removing heads and to check that the overheating problem was solved and wouldn't a now it.....something else.
Engine did run good but the trim was un-responsive. I could not even hear the relay click on anything. Completely unresponsive...
Thanks to the forum, I have repaired another problem on my own! It is satisfying to be able to do on my own...
In past post's, I had an overheating issue that was presen only at higher RPM's (4,000 +). After trouble shooting and replacing a few easy parts, it became obviuos that the head needed...
I just did a search for broken C-head bolts and all I can say is....Oh my fricken head hurts.
2-bolts broke while removing the cylinder heads and it appears I'm going to have a job removing them. The head are showing blockage at the smaller water holes near the center of each head.
Whats the...
My port engine is sounding the alarm and the temp. light is blinking. Engine drops RPM as expected when this happens. Not sure what is causing problem. The engine does not appear to be hot and does not happen everytime I take boat out. Also, after turning key off and waiting just a few minute...
I have a yamaha 40 hp outboard(2006) on a Dux boat. While running today in shallow water, found the bottom. After shutting engine down and moving off sand into deeper water, pull started engine and motored once again. The auto trim however will not hold the engine in the upper positions. After I...
I'm pulling a 26' ft. Mako center console with my V8 Tahoe and am having a little trouble. Tahoe pulls fine up ramp but once the truck clears the ramps and is level the tires begin to slip as the trailer is still coming up the ramp.<br /><br />It helps to come up ramp in an angle however when...
On my 93' 200 hp, I noticed today that the prop spins fast when engine is in idle. The boat is not in gear and the prop can be stopped by putting something against it...once the item is moved though the prop begins spinning again. Is this going to lead to other problems or something I need to fix?
My 93' 200Hp Yamaha's trim is not woking properly. You can hear the motor running but it pauses for several seconds before slowly rising...going down is even slower and more toublesome. I had to put some weight on the foot while pushing the button last time I tried getting down. Once it starts...
I noticed on the port engine that one of the fins just above the prop has a large section of the corner broken/missing. Its just to the right of the zinc tab and in fact you can see the side of the zinc tab where this break accured. Its probably from forlifts raising the boat in and out at the...
