Bobp Bob 1992 Sailfish 252G 2006 200hp Yami HPDIs

That's fuel seperation in photos, very nasty stuff and corrosive - water and alcohol has combined and will stay that way. That's what you look for in the racor clear fuel bowls, dark fuel. When first using ethanol when regular fuel has been used, the ethanol scrubs the tank clean and the water...

The new Yamaha 4 stroke 200 is an in line 4 cylinder motor, has only one head. Yamaha 4 stroke F200/225/250 and big block 4 stroke 225/250/300 are all V6 motors. The F150 is same as new 200, an inline 4. Suzie is the other 4 stroke I4 with a 150/175 on same block. I think Mercury does the...

I forgot, mechanical controls or electronic controls did you choose?

Re: Closing the Opening Under the Windshield on a Freedom 22 suggest having a piece of canvas made for the opening below the glass. A canvas guy will show you some ideas as they keep photos of jobs done. I recall many years ago having that on my 17 ft Cruisers Rally bowrider. Did I say many...

Glad to hear it. Nothing better than money well spent ! And I've always said: new motors = new boat

You can run a 2/c #16 awg back to the battery directly and add a fuse here, and mark it accordingly.

Congrats on the Grady 225. I checked it out at the boat show when it was introduced. Grady did a very nice job on it. Very nice !

By the way unless I missed it, have not heard back from MAC. He was considering removing entire cap. I'd say cut thru cap say 4 ft forward of transom, pull of rear section then start rebuilding forward . Stringer material is 8 ft long, I used ply, even if longer he still has to make a slice...

I used blue rope LED lights under gunnel both sides, and tied them into the walkaround OEM step lights which I found useless to begin with since shining in my face, so shut those off. I used nylon cable clamps from the depot, I think 1/2 inch as supports with ss screw, mounted up high on sides...

Why do you want to use seacast on stringers ? Since the tank cover is off, did you check the main stringers ? How? They are the the ones right underthe seam going lengthwise with the screws. If there is another seam going across beam, same for under screws.

I believe mine is navy too. At least I recall it's the darker one if given a choice. It was made in 2001 for the Sailfish as a replacement for the 1992 originals. Still cranking, same set on boat. And it's never been out of the sun. Color is great.

The orginal Bennetts are on my '92, not much else lasted as long.

Get all the fuel out of the tanks before you go ethanol. At least as much as you can. Water settles and stays at the bottom of non-ethanol fuel in tank, if it is there now, then when ethanol comes in the water is absorbed into the ethanol (alcohol portion) and may cause phase separation. Not...

Connect a hand held digital voltmeter so it stays connected on motor leads, can do it on motor under cowl, then read it when the motor doesn't crank while holding key, position it so it is visible from helm. Then do same at trouble battery terminals. What's the two readings?

I should call it the thottle adjuster screw as indicated in the diagrams, not idle screw. Old school habit with carbs!

The proper A/C input hull fitting will keep a pressure to the A/C pump as well as same it does for SW washdown/ livewell etc, if not it will suck water out of line al the way to A/C and the A/C pump I believe is not self priming and must be below water line mounted, but will still not self prime...

The fast idle works on advancing timing, that has to be disabled. Then it's adjustments. Do the OX66s run all 6 cylinders when idling, my HPDIs don't. That's a position sensor in the linkages if so. The idle speed adjuster screw end should be against (contacting) the tab at this time as well...

Are the marks on the bottom of the lower unit as if it was dragging on the ground? Does T&T work properly? Full steering range? You need to have a Yamaha mechanic inspect them. The outer housing (shell) can be replaced not whole lower unit. Do props turn w/o bent shafts? Skeg bent...

I was thinking about this one myself, I like projects, but time we have left over to do projects is never enough! To the link of the home made setup. Take the square tube SS and take it along the entire hardtop top straight across in line with frame bolted down into the frame in 3 places, and...
