I believe anyone can buy it. I'd call your dealer and ask about it but it's not really a program, just the kit that they're offering at that price. You would still pay for labor and any other parts that need replacement. I have a pair of 2002 F225's and I haven't seen any sign of corrosion on...

Saw this posted on THT over the w/e. Apparently Yamaha has decided to offer a kit at cost to repair exhaust corrosion on the F225 4 strokes. Sent the info to my dealer in CT who confirmed with Yamaha that they are doing this but parts may not be available yet. Sounds like this guy got them. Not...

SN, Your indicators are probably adjusted different than mine but I run one engine off each tank which would put more weight forward. Most guys here run off the main (front) tank.

The tests are done with a very light load, no bottom paint and near perfect conditions. I have about 200 hrs on the Mirage 18's inshore and offshore and they run really well on my boat. I wouldn't go bigger for what I do...

265's are very sensitive to tab adjustment. Use them to correct lean or in a head sea and just hit the rocker for a second or so when you make an adjustment or you'll overcompensate. You don't need tab to get on plane. Trim your engines down within a couple bars and when she starts coming on...

I have the same set-up but it's a 2002. I run Mercury Mirage Plus 15 3/8 x 18's. I think you'll be over-propped with 19's .....

There was an '02 (I think) with a 200 HPDI, trailer and canvas that was listed at 24,995 in Noank this spring. It was in average condition and I'm sure it sold for less than asking price. http://www.spicersbrokerage.com/core/li ... brokerage&

Damian will have to chime in on this as he just did his. I would think they're thru bolted to backing plates to distribute the load.

I think you'll go through the same thing when you fill the aux. tank. I think Tim went through this with his 265 and was dumping his filters all the time. Depending on how much you run the boat it may take a while to get the crap out of your fuel system. Regardless, I'd carry a spare set of...

I have consistently gotten 4-6 years out of top quality lead acid batteries since I've been boating and see no need to spend the extra money on AGM's. In fact there were some studies done recently that indicated AGM's had a higher premature failure rate than lead acid batteries. If you have 4...

I have heard that only a small percentage of F225's are affected and that seems to be the consensus from all I've read about this. I have 2 friends approaching 2000 hrs on their F225's with nothing other than plugs and oil changes.

I have the exact same boat and I don't think it "slides", in contrast I think it handles extremely well for a 26 foot boat. You don't want to use too much tab with it but once you get used to that, it's awesome!

I can see the case for pulling the fridge out. I'd hold onto it and reinstall it prior to selling though. There is never enough room on a 26' boat no matter what you do. I'd be leery of putting my raft in that space though. As much of a PIA it is to keep on deck that's where it should be if...

The fill is usually near or just above the tank to keep the hose run short.

I'd leave the fridge in place. I don't use mine either as a rule but if you take it out and sell the boat a buyer will want it. Not sure how much more storage you get out of that area eiher. If you use the compartments under the bed and toss a few bags on top how much more do you need?

I just replaced mine on my F225's and they were last done spring of 2006. They looked fine and probaly could've gone another 4 years but the boat stays in a slip so it's hard to change the during the season. On a trailer boat 5 years doesn't seem unreasonable unless your pumping sand and mud...

I'll 3rd the Petit Hydrocoat. Been using it since 2009. Boat had Micron on it and I powerwashed it, scubbed it with a brush and applied the Hydrocoat. No problems, same amount of growth as CSC. Cleans up with water

Measuring along the centerline of the horizontal tube from the intersection of the front hardtop support to the centerline of the outrigger tube is 13 3/4" Got home late last night ...

I'll have to look tonight. The pics aren't taken square to anything in particular so the perspective may be off a bit. The height measurents are perpendicular to the walkway.

Dimensions are from the walkway surf to the center of the bottom hole in each mount pad. 2 1/8", 5", 8 3/8". Also the center of the bottom hole of the center pad is 1/4" aft of the center of the bow rail mount. The aft pole support hole is 5/8" in front of the stud through the hardtop frame...
