    My 2 cents on the NY Boat Show

I dont have the...

    Fuel Removal

    I guess im using the wrong term when it comes to fuel fill... What im trying to say is where you exactly put the nozzle (gas cap) into the boat while fueling, that "spout mount" is replaceable? I dont see an o ring that can be replaced when you twist off the gas cap. I believe that may be a...

    Fuel Removal

    I don’t believe my boro has a place to bring old fuel. I think I’ll need to fill a lot of containers to empty our boat. This may be my only option

    That’s what I meant in my comment- the fuel filler piece- where do I get a new piece and is it identical to the existing?

    Fuel Removal

    My father just informed me that it’s aluminum tank.. He doesn’t think it can be corroded because we would see a loss of fuel in that area- does that make sense.. What I mean by fuel fill assembly:: where you actual put the fuel nozzle into.

    Fuel Removal

    To answer some of the questions above: Reason i want to thoroughly clean it out is that my reserve tank is full and i havent used it in years- thats my fault because of fear of water building up over time. I have done the removal of fuel before and put it into containers- separate it or what...

    2 stroke oil and fuel stabilizer reccomendations

    I had a feeling about fuel cap area- there’s no actual o ring- it has a gasket but looks like the whole setup needs to be replaced... I have been told by a mechanic to leave tank close to empty. I’ve always heard mix opinions. Not sure what’s better. They say full tank can be bad because if...

    2 stroke oil and fuel stabilizer reccomendations

    I’ve got a funny question: something I thought of. If we just through fuel stabilizer in without going under way and having it mix in with the fuel we’ll- does it work as effective just pouring in and dry docking boat without going underway??

    Yamaha OX66 or F225

    I have 1999 ox66.. I’ve done my best to maintain them- last few years they’ve been giving me problems. Was water in fuel a problem- yes but there have been other issues. They do smoke a lot- but if they run good- they are a nice motor. I’m Personally either giving it one more shot this year...
