    Who is heading out this weekend?

    I’m just leaving lake jacossee in South Carolina today and heading to key west for mini lobster season. I’m sure the fresh water lake will be good for flushing out All the keys salt from the engine and trailer.

    Launched and running smooth

    Are yo Are u sure they changed the Housing and the sealing o rings. Sometimes the housings look good and they are not, so the mechanic doesn’t change them out. I see it a lot. Any air leak there n the problem is there at low speed. The o ring can pinch easily upon assembly. That is why I use...

    Launched and running smooth

    I have never seen a real racor have a problem with the drain valve. The Sierra copies have all kinds of problems. The true part number for what you need is b32013. The element lasts about 2 years without a flaw. The bowl is reusable. My bottom half is about 7 years old and still working great. I...

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/272277218057 This kit would be beneficial to anyone with a Yamaha 4 stroke motor. I use it all the time to monitor engine sensors, codes, alarms etc. It is very user friendly and cheaper than you would think.

    flag poles

    I have one like that. I wrapped the rail 3 or 4 times with white electrical tape (3m 88) and clamped it. Then trimmed the tape to look nice. Worked well.

    Yamaha Ox66 225 charging problem

    I know they are expensive. The 2 Orange posts are the ones that create the electricity to charge the battery and the many brown posts create the electricity for the ignition coils. New was the correct choice.

    VHF antenna

    RF is complicated. I try to keep the best antenna I can get within reason in my price range in good condition and a good quality radio. I need to be able to talk to my buddys while tooling around the gulf, Atlantic, or the Bahamas. Calling for help is important if I need it also. Lol.

    Losing RPM

    One clue to the cause could be the primer balls collapsing at high speed or not expanding right away when pumping. Yamaha had a problem with the lp pumps with clear tabs coming out the top. If it is black, they are the replacements. I would still replace them. another thought, how is the...
