Thanks for reply - appreciate the info. I will see how it runs next weekend. Last time I brought it to the mechanic it cost ~$300 to remove and clean the carbs. Next time will probably try and do myself - and will probably order rebuild kit.......if it's not one thing, its another huh...

Yes, you should use Fuel Stabilizer each time you add gas. I have been using Startron Fuel Additive for this since the Ethanol issue first happened. Also, since then I have been using Yamaha Ring Free fuel additive (per Recommendations of Yamaha Mechanic). Ring Free is a Yamaha product...

Hi, have a 1996 SSII 150 on an 89 Overnighter. Have owned for about 4 years. Two years ago when Ethanol first got intro'd into Fuel, ended up with 'gummed-up carbs'. After getting them soaked clean at marina, have been diligent about keeping tank topped and adding fuel additives. I do...

Had Bimini Top, Side & Front Curtains and a Drop Curtain made to an existing frame for just over $1000 down in North Carolina. Have a 1989 Overnighter. Went with some Navy Blue Sunbrella fabric they had in stock to keep the price down. I had priced around my area and estimates were $1200...

I have a 1996 SSII Yamaha and had rough idling and 'nutty' tachometer readings.....plus it wouldn't go wide open. Ended up being gummed carbs (ethanol fuel issue). Had to have the Carbs soaked to get out the gunk. Ran fine after that. Started being more diligent about fuel treatment and...

Guessing by 'stanchions' you mean for the Hard Top? If so, I have a Canvas Bimini, so that is not it. Horn is on Starboard side, and Canopy Posts attached through fiberglass in Helm Area. Not much else penetrating on Port Side Cabin, just window and rod holders........unless it is up by my...

Yes, those were supporting the cabin rod holders. I pulled the screws and re-sealed them....still leaking. It really seems like the leak is coming in from the area around the rub rail. When the area is wet I can reach my hand up the port side of the cabin and feel moisture, so it seems like...

Well, I just pull the Drums from my trailer today thinking I would just need to replace the shoes, but they are a mess. After reading posts, I am considering replacing the Drum brakes with Disc Brakes. By the time I replace the Drum Brakes (Shoes, springs, drum) I am pushing $300...

I have a leak on the Port Side and I can't figure out where it is coming from? It is constantly wet on the Port Side storage area (carpeted part under walk-around). I don't think it is the window because it seems dry around it. I have tried spraying the hose on it but haven't...

Hi, I have an 89 Overnighter and I was considering adding a Second Bilge Pump. My first one still works, but installed by previous owner and not sure how old it is? Any suggestions? I haven't gotten down in the bilge yet to see what kind of space I have but I know it will likely be tight...

Thanks for input. From what I heard, the GPS/FF combos can be switched from split-screen to full-screen, and I wouldn't consider myself a super-serious fisherman (yet)....so you guys probably do more serious fishing and boating that I do, I am out at CBBT or off VA Beach maybe 6-10 times...

Anyone provide input on a GPS/Fishfinder Combo? Right now do most fishing in and around lower Chesapeake Bay (CBBT) on a 20' Grady Overnighter. Looking to upgrade outdated GPS and Fishfinder electronics, maybe spend $350 to $600 on a GPS/Sonar Combo. Any suggestions? I was looking at...
