I agree with Fisherman, the 225's run great, sip fuel and I pass plenty of boats in all but the flattest of seas (pretty rare). would consider the new 300's but my 225's are still babies. I'm launching on Thursday, really excited.

Giorgios, You're right having this bladder around even with half a gallon doesn't sound great to me either. This is all started since a buddy I fish with has the same boat east and i'm west. We have both come home in some rough weather (not planned) and got to the dock with less than 30...

http://atlfuelcells.com/ Look at model petro flex range extension bladders.

Good points about emptying the bladder first. So if i run on the bladder where on the boat would the connection go? my filters are accessible from two areas, a 6" diameter floor plate or the generator access door. each have issues. where would you put the tee and how do I safeguard. I wouldnt...

I'm looking at the possiblility of adding an extended range fuel bladder, 100 gallons that I can roll up and store at my destination. Looked at the ATL units and they appear to be what I'm looking for. The questions I have are: 1) Has anyone done this before and what did you purchase? 2) Do you...

The 1834 has no compromises, 10.4" screen, c-map chart and flawless radar. You wouldn't be making a mistake choosing Furuno. Only one thing you must be committed to learning the unit, not easy in the first couple of weeks and reading the manuals may give you a headache, At First. Once you are...

I am running Furuno 1934C and love the unit. Just installed sat weather this weekend. The difference between Furuno 1800 & 1900 is Radome versus open array. Both are good, unless you are looking for birds. Then you'll need 25kw array. My 6kw is not sensitive enough for birds, and I'm...

Pulled my lower units off this weekend to replace water pump and impellars. My mechanic lifted the metal cover over the seal and noticed the metal spring was broken. I mentioned the gear oil was in good shape at end of last season. His advise was it should be checked everytime you change...

This is an update to the corrosion issue thread in the exhaust port of 2004 yamaha four stroke 225's. Worked on the motors Saturday and today, removed the lower unit, to install impellar, looked up the exhaust port and saw some salt crystallization and carbon residue. There was some pitting in...

NOAA is being investigated by the North Carolina IG for its practices. The Committee of Natural Resources has held an oversight hearing in order to review those practices employed by NOAA and their agents. If you have an interest in watching the hearing follow this link...

Ahill, Thanks for bringing this point up! -Jack

This affects everyone on this Site! Take note and pass this along. What's next destroying all live stock due to emmissions?

Started the project Just started the project Saturday into Sunday. No one told me how much fun I was going to have. Saturday was a waste of time all I did was clear the snow away that drifted around the boat and start the removal of the access panel to get in the well. Sunday, 2-1/2 hour to...

Bob, Excellent little piece of advice! I'll set it up and let you know how it turns out. Jack

Had the same chronic problem. kept checking and adding fluid when necessary. Bled the lines manually a couple of times, saw plenty of air come out. But the problem persisted finally called a buddy with a power purge unit. ran it about 15 minutes before the last of the bubbles were out. If your...

Haven't yet removed the old unt, planning it first week in march. Then i will get a good look. still have to remove the caulking and lift the deck to get in there. My guess would be 5/8" to 3/4" if i was a gambling man. Jack

Thanks for the responses, the hole is 5/8". I like the idea of milled fiber reinforcement in an Epoxy base. I can't help but worry about a catasprophic Blow-Out. But on the otherhand it will be sandwiched between the fairing block and i'll apply 4200 inside and ouside on the hull before...

I am planning on replacing the existing tranducer to a B260 and install separate temerature sensor this spring. the issue is not the transducer hole rather the fairing bolt hole on new fairing doesnot line up. What product(s) should I use to fill that hole prior to installing and setting the...

Thanks vtacsteve, forgot to mention first thing I'll do is connect up for diagnostics. then figure it out.

Ge Silicone came out with an outdoor series mildew and sun resitant sealant capable of handling higher temps in Almond (HomeDepot has it). the original GW sealant is GE SANITARY line of caulk, used mostly in Hospitals and moist humid areas of buildings. Ditto on the fishing line, I use 80 lb...
