just curious if any of the diy's out there have a check list they are willing to share for winterizing yamaha 200hp hpdi's. I have been doing my own winterization of these motors for the past few years without issue but I am just curious how my list compares to others...thanks

I'm sure there is a thread somewhere addressing this but here goes. Due to a cabin leak I need to replace the carpet like material that lines the interior of my 92 sailfish. Has anyone done this before? Cost? Does anyone have any ideas of any other options. If you have pics of any interior...

I dock my boat in a brackish river up here in the northeast. During the year a pretty good scumline/stain appears above the bottom paint. Some have suggested acetone to remove this others have said it is too harsh. Any suggestions?

I have an older sailfish, 1992 252 model. Boat has two fuel tanks each with their own fill as well as a valve in the transom to switch from main to aux. Tanks are listed as holding 101 gallons. I have never put more than 75 gallons in either tank, no reason other than not carrying the weight...
