    COCKPIT HAND WASH

    Bringing this up. Anyone know the supplier? The plastic housing is really weathered and that's all I need to replace. The mechanism works fine.

    I'd go to THT and search the name. Lots of activity there and you're sure to get some feedback.

    Motor Gave Up - looking For Options

    Mikes Outboards in Baltimore. Believe he gives a 1-year warranty. BUT he rigs all 2-strokes to premix.

    Motor Gave Up - looking For Options

    Lots of OX66's available. 4-stroke won't work with your vintage hull. The weight will put the scuppers under water.

    Marlin 300 - Evinrude G2 * Updated 4/1/15

    He's throwin' 'er in Wednesday. Yea, can't wait to hear the numbers. Do they still have the same claim about not having to touch anything for 3-years? Does the cowl have to be removed to add oil? How much do they weight wet? Are the props the same size as the OX66? Does Rude have some cool...

    Fuel Sending Unit 1999 248 Voyager 105 gallon part #?

    Contact WEMA. Tell them which boat you have and the depth of the fuel tank. They'll match the connector and give you the correct size. I replace both of mine and they are better than OEM.

    Primer Bulb Issue

    Those plastic garbage cans aren't large enough for those big girls. I use a blue plastic 55-gal drum bought for $10. Took a sawzall and cut off few inches from the top. Still have to squeeze in on the lower unit to make it fit. Nice thing about it, I mix a batch of salt-away in the drum and...

    Primer Bulb Issue

    Doesn't sound like a problem with the bulb, and not really sure it is a problem. Is the boat on a trailer in your yard? Why not run in a tub to check for problems?

    2000 yamaha ox66 fuel

    I've read this argument before and, I'm sorry it does not make a bit of sense to me. I would rather have my 2-micron Racors clog than anything down stream. We are "blessed" with ethanol fuel here and I've had to tear into my VST filter screens, injector screens, regulator screens, and more...

    2000 yamaha ox66 fuel

    I've been long time Amsoil advocate. The price has gone through the roof and is about $28/gal delivered. Been reading a lot of positive things about Pennzoil XLF. It's cheaper and available at Walmart. I'm very conscious of oil because I premix my OX66's. Amsoil has produced the LEAST...

    engine help 175 yamaha

    Naaa, the OP said it isn't slobber. And...I'm taking back the check valves being the problem. The oil feed hoses connect to the intake, not the carb. The check valves are there to keep the oil from draining backwards hence running the engine "dry" upon start up after shutdown for a while...

    '99 272 Sailfish Cockpit Base Molding

    Roberth, Good job on that molding, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Assuming you got it from Grady, did they sell just enough to do your boat or was it a stock roll size. What is the correct nomenclature when ordering? How did you hold the inside radius in place while waiting for the...

    engine help 175 yamaha

    Unless I missed something you didn't mention the oil pooling after running or while sitting with engine tilted. If your seeing what appears to be oil running out of the silencer after running the could be the 2-stroke slobber we all experience. Usually happens when varying the throttle. Not...

    Window - rubber pieces

    Done that a kagillion times. Rubber shrinks up and pops out again. Not sure it does anything, think it's just cosmetic that's why I don't think there's a problem using an aggressive caulk/sealant.

    Oversize Garage

    I always wondered how these things would do in a storm. Doesn't seem like there's' much to it. Would be nice to get longer than a month out of a wax job. Something to be said for undercover storage.
