    Tournament 192 replacement cutting board

    I just had Boat Outfitters do a custom Starboard job to replace my 1996 Tournament 192 cutting board and it worked out perfectly. Color is "Grady White." Old vs. new, already test-fitted, just a few holes to drill: I used these specifications: Main cutting board Backsplash:

    flat bolts used to connect hinge to plexiglass

    Yes, looking for the nut. I just realized my initial post was backwards and edited it. The bolt you see is a screw coming through from the other side and seems pretty ordinary. I didn't notice the detail before, but you're right that it looks like it's been cut. Hopefully I can find the...

    flat bolts used to connect hinge to plexiglass

    Does anyone know what these flat nuts are called and where one might get them? They're almost flat, fit into the plexiglass hole, and are threaded for the screws from the other side.

    Yamaha 2 stroke fuel pump

    I think that Yamaha purchased on Amazon or Ebay isn't always Yamaha.

    Yamaha 2 stroke fuel pump

    To the best of my knowledge, I was was replacing the original 30 year old fuel pumps. I've owned this boat since new, but used to have a co-owner that sometimes did work, most of it wrong and cosmetic. There's s a very slim chance he replaced them without charging me half, but it's unlikely...

    Yamaha 2 stroke fuel pump

    Good point. Even though old and new had black tabs, I just ordered a second so I could be sure both are new and matched. T.

    Yamaha 2 stroke fuel pump

    That appears to be it. The two holes on the side are for mounting, the one in the middle must be the port for the alternating pressure/suction. This photo is the new one, and both old and new have the black tabs. Thanks, T.

    Yamaha 2 stroke fuel pump

    I broke a barb off one of my 95 Yamaha 175 2 stroke fuel pumps while changing out my hoses, a $50 mistake. It turns out the face plate is metal but the body is grey plastic and I should have been more gentle. It's an exceptionally easy job to remove and replace these. What's got me baffled is...

    Yamaha new outboard

    I'm really hoping they trim a few more pounds off the F200, which is currently about 40lbs more than my 30 year old 175 two stroke once you offset for integrated steering.

    Live well ball valve on a 228

    That looks like a new seacock in an old bilge. Is that correct? How bad was the replacement job? I'm considering doing mine. T.

    Fuel supply line sizes for 1995 Tournament 192 with Yamaha 175?

    Thanks. That's what I figured but it's good to get feedback. I'm guessing the extra segment allowed Yamaha to specify everything from the cowling inside.

    Fuel supply line sizes for 1995 Tournament 192 with Yamaha 175?

    For anyone's reference, my 1996 Tournament 192 with a Yamaha 175TXRT has the following fuel hose lengths: Tank to Racor fuel filter at starboard transom : 80" of 3/8" below deck hose Fuel filter to primer bulb in engine well : 60" of 5/16" above deck hose Primer bulb to...

    Recommendations for spiral hose protector for old 175 Yamaha two stroke?

    I kept googling with some of the hints above and decided on "Kable Kontrol™ Cyclone Hydraulic Hose Wrap Spiral Tubing" with 1" diameter even though I had to buy 66 feet of it, probably more than quadruple what I need. It's HDPE and made for extreme conditions so I think it will fit the bill...

    Recommendations for spiral hose protector for old 175 Yamaha two stroke?

    Does anyone have a proven/suggested replacement for the spiral hose protector that covers the hose bundle that goes out the gunwale and into the outboard cowling on a 2 stroke Yamaha 175TXRT on a Tournament 192? I'm guessing the bundle of hoses is about 2" uncompressed, so I was thinking about...

    Possible blocked fuel pickup on Tournament 192?

    It makes perfect sense, and it's a great reminder that my automotive mechanical experience only gets me so far when I'm working in a big fiberglass bathtub. The 30 year old device worked incredibly well, stopping the flow just as effectively as the ball valve I put inline for the purpose, not...

    Possible blocked fuel pickup on Tournament 192?

    I'd like to report that my antisiphon valve is fully functional.

    Possible blocked fuel pickup on Tournament 192?

    I just drained old fuel from my 1996 Tournament 192. I connected a fuel hose to the tank pickup tube and used a bulb to get things going, expecting a solid siphon. I did get fuel out when I pumped the bulb, but the siphon wouldn't hold up after I stopped. I then removed the sender...

    Went from 2 stroke to 4 stroke in a 19-20 footer?

    That looks like a great setup, but it also looks noticeably lower at the transom compared to my 192 with a 175TXRT. I thought I had Yamaha model numbers all figured out, but apparently I don't. Is that a V6 200? I didn't think the inline 4 200 went back that far. Thanks very much for your...

    Went from 2 stroke to 4 stroke in a 19-20 footer?

    The 1995 192 was rated up to 200hp on the transom. The 1995 Yamaha 200TXRT weighed in at 410, 9 lbs less than the 175TXRT, so it's not offering me a lot of weight headroom. I didn't back out the weight of the oil tank because the Yams are listed at dry weight. I figure the oil will just...

    Went from 2 stroke to 4 stroke in a 19-20 footer?

    This was the original factory rigging, 192 with Yam 175 2 stroke, and had I've had no problems with water in through the scuppers. I top out at 47mph, but my fuel and oil burn is getting worse. I'd never considered going up until the new light weight Yamaha 4 strokes were available. With the...
