    GW Yamaha f225 TXRA motor issue

    I had a similar issue several years ago (since replaced it with a 250 VMax). Fuel injectors were dirty. Fortunately they are easily removed and can be cleaned. That would be my next step.

    BAD GAS

    I use a small fuel pump and hook it up to the barb for the fuel line off the tank. Done this many times to get fuel for my generator post hurricane. If you're not getting anything out of this line the pickup may be clogged. Try putting a line on the barb and using compressed air to unplug the...

    Explorer 246G fuel tank replacement

    I have replaced mine twice ('92 246G). Once due to a defect (thanks to GW for the free replacement well out of warranty) and much later due to corrosion. Pretty straightforward job, need to remove the floor panels and both tanks will come right out. Be sure to replace all plumbing (hoses...

    aluminium trailer corrosion

    I have a Boatmaster trailer that was built about 6 years ago. They use a "tape" between dissimilar metals that is made by 3M. Don't know what it is called but a search for the 3M product may get you to the right product.

    Best transducer placement for 99 Gulfstream with single engine on a bracket

    I have a 1992 24 Explorer with a single 250 on a bracket. My transducer is mounted just to the right of the drain plug - as close to the bottom centerline as I could get. Best performance and no interference from the motor.

    NizPro ECM Flash

    So I got some more info about the NizPro reflash. It raises the RPM limiter to 6400 (+200). The graph shows a horsepower increase from the bottom all the way through the RPM range with the biggest gain at 5000 RPM and higher. No torque curve but the website states a 5% increase throughout...

    NizPro ECM Flash

    I'm pretty sure I am running the same prop as you are. 5400 RPM is my max and I believe the max for my motor (Yamaha 250 SHO) is either 6000 or 6200. Not concerned about not being able to hit the max, but I would like to be able to run at least 5800+. Trim setting is good, no matter what I...

    NizPro ECM Flash

    Some good information. Especially interesting info from Halfhitch about what Cannon's told him. Motor is a 4.2 litre and it is out of warranty. Not looking to run WOT for extended periods of time so reliability shouldn't be an issue. Boat is a 1992 24 Explorer with a bracket. Motor runs...

    NizPro ECM Flash

    Has anyone heard of or had done the NizPro ECM upgrade? NizPro is an Australian company that has a program to increase the horsepower of your motor (Yamaha) through an ECM reflash. From what I have learned, this will increase the horsepower of my Yamaha 250 SHO from 250HP to 330HP with a...

    Ocean South t top cover and engine covers

    Followed the link and reread the original post. Missed the part about it being a console cover. I was looking for a cover for the top itself. Thanks anyway.

    Quick question

    I did the same thing on my Explorer ('92 246G). I used flexible hose. Been fine for 25+ years.

    Sourcing new-used outboards 2000 Gulfstream 232

    I have a 1992 24 Explorer. Original motor was a Yamaha 225 2 stroke. Upgraded in (?) to a Yamaha 225 4 stroke and again in 2016 to a 4.2 Litre V Max 250 (fantastic motor!). I was able to use the original wiring and cables for each upgrade. I did replace the cables when I put the last motor...

    anchor/anger management

    I mounted a piece of Starboard on the pulpit to "absorb" the chain rubbing on it. Boat Outfitters Seafoam (color) matches pretty well. Did this about three years ago and it has held up very well.
