I want to buy a new 2 stroke in the 150hp range. Nearest dealer is Mercury in fact the 4 nearest are Mercury, any where from 10 to 125 miles away. The nearest E-Tec dealer is 275 miles away. Any opinions?
I am going to convert my roller trailer to a bunk trailer. The boat is a 19' Olympic (1600#) with a 115 Yamaha (400#) trailer is an EZ Loader. I have noticed the bunk stiffeners on some model trailers and can understand the purpose of them. However if I add a 4' long 2x6 at the rear where the...
In August motor ran like a champ,new fuel pump & carb rebuild. I use Stabil. This weekend motor would not run for *#@$. Went thru carbs again, still runs like *#@$. Will not idle, just runs rough, seems like a miss, or ???. #1 plug is dry black soot, others are okay. Did a compression check-- #...
I was doing a comp. test, did cyl's 1,2 & 3, all were 100 #. Now the wierd thing cyl 4 was 102# but the starter would disengage after 3 or 4 revolutions, did it twice, the others would stay engaged untill I released the key. Any ideas? thanks Jerry
I think my old Seloc manual may be wrong. The oil lines on my motor where they connect to the pump do not correspond with the picture on page 5-18. The pumping order on my motor is 1 - 4 - 3 - 2. The book shows 1 - 2 - 4 - 3. Does any one have a "REAL" yamaha manual? Thanks
Does any one out there have a 19' Olympic [ besides me ]? If some one does, I need info off of the USCG decal. I have rebuilt mine and would like to create a new plate. The original decal was trash and not legible. Max HP ,Persons , Motor, gear, etc. is what I need. Thanks
Some time in the future I will be towing a 20' boat with a 115 yamaha 2200 miles, trailer is a single axle roller type. I will take my time and stay under posted speeds, 4 day trip. My feeling is to take the motor off the boat and carry it in the truck [ 1 ton Ford 460 V8 ] and then re- hang it...
Does any one know why a non canadian [U.S.citizen] can purchase a fishing license "on line" from Canada to fish for Halibut in all areas except areas 121,but for 121 must buy it in person?
I started out today to run my f9.9mlhs yamaha on the muffs. Well, the lower unit lube was pure at the beginning of the session and 10 minutes later when done I decided to check the fluid,- - - the gear case had water in it . How did it get in there?
How much above the fuel pump of my 115hp Yamaha can I place the filter? I need to relocate the one I have now. It is too difficult to service. I would like to get it out of the bilge and place it in the motor well.
I live near Bellingham Wa. and fish the local waters. I want to halibut fish ,and catch one also, but do not want to go out to P.A. or points west. Does any one have knowledge of halibut in this area say east side of san juans or up towards Point Roberts ?
I replaced the thermo. on both heads and ran the motor for a bit. The port bank is about 125* and the starboard bank feels like a room temp beer. I use the motor in salt water and I bought it used. I did get it hot once, got into some kelp and the buzzer went off along with a cloud of ???. but...
