Thanks for the hints guys. I went to the boat yesterday in the 60 degree heat, and it was much easier to work with. I will reattempt the install tomorrow.

thanks guys. I have the parts of the vista top inside now, and am hoping for the best. I live in an apartment, so to hang them on the shower curtain is a good idea. They've never been used and are from 2004, but i didn't expect it to be that difficult. I will be going on a cruise...

I do hear the pump running. My boat only has the shower nozzle. I may try to fill the tank completely with water, and see if the pump works. It is possible the water "pickup" is stuck in the up position.

I tried yesterday and today to install a vista top on my tournament. It was frustrating and time consuming to install. I thought the snaps, zippers and velcro would be easy to use, but its not. I first installed the snaps, then the zippers, then the velcro. Any hints to get these...

So I have the 10 gallon fresh water tank. I emptied it today because we are expecting some below freezing nights. After emptying it I put three gallons of antifreeze in it. I ran the pump for 5 minutes and couldn't get out any antifreeze. Does the pump have to be primed after bring run dry?

freddy, do you have the same diagram for an 04 yamaha multi gauge tach and speedometer? Thanks

We are going to launch from somewhere between Richmond, VA and Virginia Beach. But I would like to see the eastern shore.

The lady and I decided to get a tournament boat. But we are looking to take two overnight cruising trips this summer. The plan would be to launch the boat, travel for 4 or 5 hours, get a hotel on the water with a mooring, and return. Can anyone suggest a trip itinerary? Does anyone know of...

It was a long drive from South Carolina to Virginia to pick up my used 2004 tournament 205, but worth the trip. I sent photos to get uploaded to the photo section. I read my manuals tonight and have a few questions. 1. The seastar manual doesn't have an interval for flushing the fluid, what...

well i got the boat today. I drove from DC to South Carolina to pick her up. She looks great. The final cost was 23,500 including the trailer. i should be on the road now, but i am currently stranded here. the trailer looked great without the boat on it. Then after the deal was done, and the...

The owner is a good guy, but not a boater. He said he won't have it fixed, but is willing to take up to $1000 off the selling price. I would also fix a boat before selling it. The transaction is taking place tomorrow, I couldn't sleep last night because I was so excited.

Alot of good questions Barlow, 1. Carolina Marine Survey did the work. 2. I didn't ask how the other electric functions worked 3. According to the surveyor the hour meter didn't come on, but i swear i saw it last week. 4. The boat was rack stored 5. There are two batteries, I need to...

The surveyor didn't have the yamaha computer to read the hours off the engine. So this may be unknown until I have a tech hook it up to the computer.

So the survey came in on the 205 tournament I am planning to buy this Saturday. Two things came up. 1. The gauges are not working properly. The hour meter is not showing properly, the tach is off, trim measurement is off, fuel gage is not working, etc. The boat has the yamaha 2004...

Where in the bow would you pour this material in? the anchor locker?

The Honda EU2000 only seems to crank out 16.7 amps. Check out Honda's website. What am I missing here?

it may take a long time to recharge two or more batteries. maybe as long as 10 hours per battery. both the yamaha and honda don't have enough amps to run the quick chargers.

on my last boat i would shop vac the bilge, once back on the trailer, after each use in the winter. is this required for a 2004 205 tournament?

that's good news. there are two richmond shows, the one in january got cancelled. i woke up the morning of the cancelled show, glad i checked the internet before i went! i have attended several new york and boston boat shows, and they are huge. where are the huge shows in the mid atlantic...

i assume the way way to clean it would be to flush something from the cupholder, but what product would you suggest?
