Is there any clubs in RI? Peter

Does anyone have a good source to get online Yamaha parts? Need a few things and was wondering if there was a better way to get parts? Thanks in advance. Peter

Well for one I bought the boat from a broker. Nice guy but, the "hands on" if you will were not included. The information I have is from having done my research on quality boats. I decided on grady because in Rhode Island/Block island sound, the weather changes on a dime. I am very happy with...

Thanks I thought if both tanks were "on" in the rigging area the gas would flow between both tanks ? Guess not. I think the sender is definitely gone. I also use total gallons used too. I wonder hom many gallons does 1 bar on the gauge equal? HMM Peter.

I have 2 gas tanks. The main is a 152 gal and the aux is a 50 or 49 gal not sure. My question is how do I isolate the tanks to run on their own? I have used the fuel switch MAIN/AUX and I have put around 400 gals into the main and the aux is always full while I never put any fuel into it? Is...

Richie, Fuel pumps? I have had a few boats in my years and most of them were outboards. This problem with my starboard engine is sparatic. I have had yamies with water problems and most were from major water and particles in the tank(due to improper placed vent valves) I had no idea there...

Thanks for input Thank you for you advice. I have been noting my start gallons with my finish gallons consumed. I never realized how big the boat was until it was placed in my yard!! These engines are pushing a hell of a lot and with the hard top and full enclosure ther is 9.5 feet in the...

Thanks for info Seems I have to use the boat more to get averages. I had gone to the block, mud hole and back on 70 gallons in moderate seas. I think I am averaging 1.5 nautical miles which is less than I like but the comfort and quality I am bringing its worth it. Hey, Gas is down now too...

Question, I am running T225 ox yamaha 2 strokes 1997 original engines, hours unknown, compression 120's and decarbed every year per invoices I received since purchased. After 40 minutes of running @ 3600 rpm in rough seas or swells, the starboard engine will drop to 2000 rpm and the boat will...

Thanks for the replies The water was 2' waves in Narragansett bay with 15knot wind on our back. We did have to face the wind on the way back but thank god for enclosures. This was the first time I noted fuel consumption, so I will have to keep an eye out. Thanks

I own a 1997 272 sailfish with T225 yamahas. My last trip I wrote down the total gallons used and compared them when I returned from a rather short and lightly loaded trip. I burned 43 gallons going 38 miles at 26knts based on gps. I understand about bottom growth and speed loss, tide, waves...
