    yamaha engine slowed down

    I have a Yamaha 2002 115 2 stroke engine . I have had the boat out 5 times and this last time I was running at high speed and had been for about 20 minutes. The engine slowed down to just above idle with the throttle still forward for high speed. No horns were sounding . I crept back to the...

    Steering problem

    Update on steering. Well I have bled the system several times. Looks like I got all the air out of the system, but I still have to turn the wheel to the left to keep the boat straight.

    Steering problem

    I don't see the boat being unbalanced. It was just me and my wife and she either sat beside me or on the front center seat. I am not sure about adjusting the trim tabs. They are adjustable but I didn't notice the boat listing one way or another.

    Steering problem

    I bought a Mako 171 a couple of weeks ago. Took the boat out and found the steering to be strange. The guy I bought the boat from told me it had hydraulic steering. I didn't completely understand what he was talking about because the last boat I owned was a Cobia and the steering was I guess...
