PAIR, YAMAHA F225 OUTBOARDS 2004 EXHAUST REPLACED IN BOTH ENGINES. RUN GREAT, IN WATER READY TO TEST (DENNIS MA) COMPLETE WITH THROTTLES, GUAGES, WIRING AND CABLES. READY TO GO!

I am looking for opinion's. I have 2004 Grady White 282 Sailfish that is in decent shape and the 2004 Yamaha F255"s are concerning me. Both exhaust mid sections have been replaced but I'm still experiencing water coming out of the upper vent in the mid section and lots of bubbles coming from...

I have a 2004 GW 282 Sailfish. The original Air Conditioner needs replacing. It’s a 7000btu Marine Air Systems. It appears to be made for GW because of the intake vent is custom. Has anyone replaced theirs and how did you deal with the intake vent. Which brand and model did you use? Thanks.

I removed one of the sensors and it appeared to be spinning freely, I cannot check the output voltage because I don't have an oscilloscope. Would electronic interference efect the gauge from working properly?

Thank you for replying. Would it be safe to say that the sensor(s) are faulty or clogged if I'm getting the 5v at the sensors from the gauge? Next chance I get, I was going to remove the sensor(s) and check to see if the impeller is not turning. What do you think?

I have taken voltage readings at the sensors. With the engines running at idle, no voltage coming from sensors (any combinations of the three wires). From the gauge- 5.2v and 2.9v to ground, coming from the dashboard to each of the sensors. Gauge is not registering any fuel flow. Thanks for...

Thanks for your reply. The fuel flow sensor is inline with the gas hose. There are three wires coming from each sensor (orange, purple, black). I have checked for continuity between all three wires- NO continuity between all three, on either sensor. The starboard sensor is intermittent and the...

I have twin 2004 Yamaha 225's with 6Y5 gauges. the gallons per hour stopped working. upon start up the display works properly. When I start the engines the GPH will read from the port engine only and count down readings from about 8gph to 5gph to 3ghp to 0ghp then a dash line. and it will repeat...

I’m looking for a secure place to park my truck and trailer for a month or so in December 2023 in the Miami area. Preferably a place that has 24hr security.

I recently posted a "Wanted to Buy" in the electronics section looking to buy a Simrad Evo2 nss7. I was contacted by Thomasrob4 and he referred me to davidstev197@gmail.com Phone number 313-356-5032. This person said he had a unit that he wanted $575. including shipping. Well I unknowingly sent...

Wanted Simrad NSS7 Evo 2 to replace a failed unit.

The touchscreen on my Simrad Evo2 does not work on the right side of the screen. It works fine on the left side and with the control knob and buttons. Does anyone know if fixing this is just a matter of removing the glass and cleaning any moisture or gunk that may have penetrated the seal...

I just put my boat in after replacing the exhaust kit on a F225 (2004). The engine runs fine but I'm getting water blowing out of the exhaust port rear of the engine above the waterline. I was told this is back pressure from the Poppet Valve or the Thermostat(s) being stuck open. Does anyone...

There was a class action lawsuit over this, Yamaha won. In answer to your original question, you have 2 choices with that block. 1) you can have aluminum added on. That isn't easy and requires someone who knows what they are doing, as that aluminum is already contaminated (with oil, salt...

Does anyone know if Yamaha is providing a discount on power heads that are damaged because of the defective exhaust?
