    Counter rotating propellors

    The boat will be fine to use as is. What you need to look at is the model number (plate on the engine bracket). F150 is a standard rotation and LF150 is a counter rotation. Both powerheads rotate the same way so the numbers on the ECU could be the same, what is different is the lower unit. If...

    Tank Cover

    Grady's answer: We use patterned cut plywood instead of a large piece because you can imbed the smaller pieces into the laminate and work the air out better. Using larger pieces tends to trap more air between the plywood and laminate causing delams. Still think I'm not rebuilding with small...

    Counter rotating propellors

    Counter rotation is the norm for twin engine boats. What you may have is a engine that the lower unit blew on and they replaced the lower unit with the first one they found. Will it work- yes. Will the boat track straight and manuver as intended from the factory- probably not. Look about half...

    Tank Cover

    I can't believe that the floor is made of lots of what looks like scraps of plywood. Why would this not be one piece? Whe I rebuild it it will be one piece of plywood.

    fuel issues

    Can you get lucky and try to add new gas- anything is possible. Do you add any type of fuel stabilizer before you let it sit? Startron is what I use in my boats and have never had an issue. Dry gas is usually alcohol. Adding more alcohol to your already alcohol laced fuel is not the best...

    Tank Cover

    GW 204 nice looking job and no prbblem I like the idea of through bolting through just glass by cutting the holes slightly larger. Would 3/4" ply work? I am pretty sure I still have a piece to do the hatch with left over from another project. If not I know I have a piece of 1/2" but it is teak...

    Tank Cover

    When I get it out I should be able to see how they built it. If I can't figure it out I'll drop GW a line.

    Advice Needed: 330 Battery Set-Up

    Set up something (if you have the room) where the genset has it's own battery. Even if you run down the start batteries, fire up the genset and drop a line. Only once have I had to run the genset to charge the start batteries and thats after a few days at anchor with lots of 12v load (454's need...

    Tank Cover

    My plan is to get the cover out, get the old wood out and west epoxy a new piece of marine plywood into it as soon as I get my trucks painted and out of my shop.

    Tank Cover

    Not too sure how we got to transom replacement here but..... Be very careful with transom repair. I had a 17' Wellcraft that the transom was soft so I cut out the rotted wood and replaced it with new. Transom was solid as a rock. Was coming back to the dock one day and got to the opening of my...

    2000 Yamaha Saltwater SX150TXRY trim tilt problem

    Just about any Yami shop should be able to do this but get it done ASAP before the spring rush. Not sure where you are located but give Surfside 3 in Mattituck a call. I know over the winter they will do odd projects like rebuild trim/tilt assemblies and they might have one ready to go. At the...

    Yamaha F250 Decals

    I will be taking my Yami cover (70 on a 15 Whaler) to the local sign shop for new decals pretty soon. Just about any sign shop that works with vinyl (think boat or truck lettering) should be able to set you up. As far as cost goes, not really sure what it would be since my wife's cousin owns the...

    Tank Cover

    I was hoping it would be a straight forward fix like glassing in some new wood. I would love to help to see "how it's done" but I have more than enough stuff to do around here. :D
