Does anyone know where I can find almond rod holders that are attached to the forward sides of the console. They are 12" long x 2" diameter. I have a 222 Fisherman. I did find some on Amazon but they were white. Thanks. ddjk1953

So the kill switch could not be the problem if the engine will not turn over.

Thanks again, will look at the adjustment at the motor if I have issues when i go out mid week. Have tow insurance with Boat US. Never go with out it.

Thanks for the reply, If the adjustment in the 704 is out, is it difficult to adjust. I noticed a screw in the front of the binnacle with the cover off.

I have a 2004 Grady 225 fisherman with a Yamaha 225 and a Yamaha 704 binnacle. After two incidents with the starter not turning over I figured i should look into this before i get caught offshore. I replaced the neutral safety switch in the 704, but was wondering if the kill switch could give...

Will let you know. It will be a month before I can get in the water. After i install it , if the water is on i will just fill the bilge and test it.

Thanks for all great info. Removed deck plate and checked pump. It turned out to be a wiring issue. Decided to replace pump and switch anyway because of the age ( 16 years ) and the wiring also. Putting the same Atwood 1700 with a Water Witch switch with no moving parts.

Thanks. That is what I thought. Will have to cut sealant on two deck plates as they join together. The second plate is over the fuel tank. Want the sealant color to match. Thanks also for the tips about the spoon and painters tape.

I have a 2004 222 fisherman. Bilge pump not working automatically or manually at the helm. The hand hole cover for access is impossible to do this with one hand and it looks like the larger deck panel has to be removed. It is caulked in perfectly and I hate to remove it. Is this my only option...
