Apparently me heating sensor of the O2 system stays on when the engine is not running. The only way to get it to turn off/cool down is to switch the battery off. Has anyone experienced this? Yamaha 150 ox-66 saltwater series.

I have a 150 yamaha 2 stroke engine. Recently my mechanic told me that the heater sensor for the oxygen sensor does not turn off when the engine is shut down. The rely is good, he suspects the computer. Anyone ever have this? Thanks, John

One of my trim tabs won't extend now that the boat is out of the water. It worked fine the other day while on the water. There is no obstruction and just one deploys the other stays put. Any suggestions on where to start looking for problems?

I have a Chase 263 with the fishboxes in the bow. The port side fish box has a partician in it that slides out. What is the purpose of the partician. It cuts the box into a 2 foot area and a 1 foot area (approx) box. Thanks, John

Guys, I noticed a lot of water in my bilge prior to putting my boat in. The only place it could have come from is rain. While preping it I drained all the water and cleaned the bilge, but it sat for a few days with the drain plug screwed in. When I was on the boat getting ready to launch I...

Have any of you tried to mount a cutting board on the bow rail? I have a gunnel mount cutting board, and hate taking a rod holder away for its use. I was looking at the bow pulpit and thought that it might be possible to somehow clamp the board to that area and use it, and take it off when not...
