Hello All, can you tell me what props you're running with a Yamaha F150 and what WOT RPMs you're reaching with a Bimini top up. Thanks in advance.

Re: RPM's dropping on starboard motor when trying to get on I'm experiencing the same symptoms, all the research I've done points to bad fuel, clogged VST filters/injectors and possibly high pressure fuel pump. I've pumped out all my old gas, changed fuel lines/fuel water separator filter...

Thanks, good to know for the future. Already pumped the gas out through the fuel line from the tank using a fuel pump.

Already ran the engine on a brand new portable fuel tank with fresh gas, the boat has new bottom paint with zero growth on the hull, the prop is brand new per Grady White specs.

You are correct, I meant to say Teflon tape. I have run the motor, it won't reach WOT. All the research I've done and speaking with the service manager at Yamaha points to a clogged VST filter or clogged injectors or both. There was a lot of debris in the tank, the attached picture shows what...

Thanks for your suggestions. Yes, I could put the boat on a trailer, but that would take half a day to do. Yes, I could remove the injectors myself and take them to a place to have them serviced but that would take 3 or 4 hours. Injectors are only ~$104 each, to me, it's not worth the trouble -...

The mechanic charges ~$130/hr to work on a boat in the water + travel time, it's cheaper to buy new injectors and clean the old ones later for backup use.

I'm more concerned with debris in the fuel system - I may have either a clogged VST filter or injectors which will be replaced this week. I also noticed the previous owner used silicone tape to seal the threads on a 3 way fuel valve which will be removed & replaced. Will be replacing the...

Thanks for your replies. I ended up buying a 75 GPH fuel pump (on sale at O'Reilly Auto Parts $45) and pumping the gas from the main tank line into twelve, 5 gallon gas cans (on sale at O'Reilly Auto Parts $3.47 each). Put an ad on Craigslist for "Free - 5 gallon gas tanks with gas" - had 10...

Recently purchased a 2006, 180 Sportsman. The gas in the tank is ethanol and has been setting in the tank for over a year. I'd like to pump it all out and flush the fuel lines. Has anybody attempted to run a hose through the fuel fill hose to pump gas out of a Grady White fuel tank? The reason...

Thanks for your reply Bob. I have a 180 Sportsman and was looking for guidance for that boat.

Has anyone installed an in-hull (shoot through hull) transducer with good results above 30 mph, if so, what brand did you use and where did you end up placing it? Thanks

Just purchased a 2007 Grady White Sportsman with a 2008 Yamaha 9.9hp high-thrust kicker motor - was wondering what diameter/pitch propeller would be best suited for this boat. Also, what WOT RPMs should I be looking for? Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
