    Yamaha F225 Problems?

    I use the fresh water tank on the boat all of the time. I have a hose with a "T" that does both yamahas at once. As long as you got water coming out the "P" hole you are good. I would also recomend that you put a Salt Away attachment on there and flush with Salt Away. It DOES make a difference.

    Yamaha F225 Problems?

    WOW I have twin 2002 F225's, right in the zone that was described. I have seen no indications of a problem. Sounds like I had better start watching closer. This year I also started using Saltaway during the flush. We have always flushed after EVERY run, hopefully that makes a difference...

    Props for 265 with 225 4 strokes

    Haydn I am running the saltwater II yamaha props that came with it. I went theough a series of props on my Gulfstream and ended up never getting better performance and ended up with what I started with. - I usually run around 3600 to 3800 rpm which is about 24 to 26 kts and I am burning less...

    Props for 265 with 225 4 strokes

    Haydn; I have never noticed anything like that on my F225's. However, I had just over 80 hours on them when I got the boat. Not sure if it's breakin related..?

    TM260 on The Canyon Draggin'

    Haydn, The Ducke Guts Eh.. and a no drama cane farmer install thats for sure! Check out the gain settings. For most of the trials we did we kept the gain in Auto. However, while in auto you can move gain up or down as much as 10%. When set at 0% the sonar is optimized for the selected...

    28 Sailfish or 30 Marlin

    GET THE MARLIN We run 70 to 80 miles to the NE canyons from Ocean City on a routeen basis with the Canyon Draggin', a 2002 Sailfish 282. It makes the trip with ease. However.... I required a trailer boat, so I went with as big as I could routeenly trailer. If I lived on the water, or wanted...

    TM260 on The Canyon Draggin'

    P66 We currently have both the P66 and the TM260 on the transom of the Canyon' Draggin' . We are getting really good performance out of the P66. Here is a shot from our last canyon run: We are hoping that the TM260 will deliver as advertised, 13x more sensitive at 200 Khz.

    TM260 on The Canyon Draggin'

    It is not looking like we'll get offshore this weekend due to Danny. We were on the upper Bay today testing the placement of the TM260. Here are a few shots. We won't get to see the full performance here in the bay, but this will answer some of the questions on holding bottom at speed...

    TM260 on The Canyon Draggin'

    Tranducer mounting

    A lot of "It Depends" feed into this thread. If you take a P66 600w ducer on the trannsom and one shooting through the hull you will see a difference. How much of a difference depends on how and where you fish and what fish you are use to looking at. When you shoot through the hull you are...

    head pumpout.

    Haydn, is the switch for the pump on that new pannel? It sounds like you are going to have to shot gun it by eliminating the pannel and going straight to the pump to determine where the fault is. I confirmed the plumbing on my 282 as I described it to you. Ken

    Electronics Install on the Canyon Draggin'

    Thanks Bill, I have been very happy with the install. We did Drag her down to Florida. It was just under 1000 miles, one way. We were permittted the whole way this time. The only state that was an issue was .... North Carolina. Go figure, when NC has a limit of 9 foot 11 inches, they...

    Electronics Install on the Canyon Draggin'

    Catch? Just fishing. Over the last month I have covered some water from the Coral Sea to St Augustine Fl and back to OC Md. I missed the Black Marlin bite by a day in Townsville, and in FL the weather kept us fishing the wrecks for Snapper & Grouper. Back in MD, the BFT bite is on.

    Fuses / Breakers on 02 sailfish

    The answer is almost yes. Nearly all of the breakers are located on the back side of the accessory pannel. There should be another fuse block under your helm steering on the balkhead. Acess to the accessory breakers is two fold. There is a pannel in the head held in place by four screws...
