    Who is heading out this weekend?

    I’m just leaving lake jacossee in South Carolina today and heading to key west for mini lobster season. I’m sure the fresh water lake will be good for flushing out All the keys salt from the engine and trailer.

    What's up with my gelcoat damaging so easily? Can I use the boat?

    Was the boat on slings when you inspected it or on a trailer.

    Launched and running smooth

    Are yo Are u sure they changed the Housing and the sealing o rings. Sometimes the housings look good and they are not, so the mechanic doesn’t change them out. I see it a lot. Any air leak there n the problem is there at low speed. The o ring can pinch easily upon assembly. That is why I use...

    Launched and running smooth

    I have never seen a real racor have a problem with the drain valve. The Sierra copies have all kinds of problems. The true part number for what you need is b32013. The element lasts about 2 years without a flaw. The bowl is reusable. My bottom half is about 7 years old and still working great. I...

    That’s awesome. I’ve been working in lake Keowee and lake jacossee in Seneca, sc this past week. They had a great parade last weekend also. Glad to see the flags everywhere.

    Did you change the plastic housing, cup, plate etc or just the impeller?

    That would be the water pump if it is getting hot.

    Launched and running smooth

    Maybe plug the laptop into an inverter. Not sure if it will work. There is no low idle alarm. It is either oil pressure or overheating.

    Launched and running smooth

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/272277218057 This kit would be beneficial to anyone with a Yamaha 4 stroke motor. I use it all the time to monitor engine sensors, codes, alarms etc. It is very user friendly and cheaper than you would think.

    flag poles

    I have one like that. I wrapped the rail 3 or 4 times with white electrical tape (3m 88) and clamped it. Then trimmed the tape to look nice. Worked well.

    Yamaha Ox66 225 charging problem

    I know they are expensive. The 2 Orange posts are the ones that create the electricity to charge the battery and the many brown posts create the electricity for the ignition coils. New was the correct choice.

    VHF antenna

    RF is complicated. I try to keep the best antenna I can get within reason in my price range in good condition and a good quality radio. I need to be able to talk to my buddys while tooling around the gulf, Atlantic, or the Bahamas. Calling for help is important if I need it also. Lol.

    Weird problem batteries 98 Sailfish

    Totally agree. I’ve seen some of those chargers do more damage than good.

    Losing RPM

    One clue to the cause could be the primer balls collapsing at high speed or not expanding right away when pumping. Yamaha had a problem with the lp pumps with clear tabs coming out the top. If it is black, they are the replacements. I would still replace them. another thought, how is the...

    electronics compartment door leaking - adventure & seafarer

    Is it possible that the water could have leaked around the roof where the gage panel is mounted? Never the less, that should be the dealer’s responsibility to find the leak and fix it. I was a warranty tech for marine max for 2 years and that is the type of situations I would handle as a...

    electronics compartment door leaking - adventure & seafarer

    I would be calling the dealer for a warranty claim. I’m sure you paid a pretty penny for the boat and that is something they should gladly take care of.

    Losing RPM

    I’ve seen that at least a hundred times. Lol. It’s like you plugged your hose with Saran Wrap. I’ve also seen the hose pinched where the cowling cable clamp clamps. The grey Yamaha hose turns to jelly and collapses under suction from the fuel pump. Then it expands again when you pump the ball.

    Losing RPM

    Oem Omc fuel hose is like insurance that your hose will give you no problems for 10 years plus. Even exposed to south Florida sun. It is about 8 bucks a foot but it will outlast all other hose. I buy it by the 25 ft roll for customers that don’t want future problems with their fuel lines.
