As for alternate options and I wanted to stand on something that didn't list, I would go stand on a sidewalk.

It's an odd set-up. Before I replaced the fuse, the gauge did everything it was supposed to, like change mode etc., but the tach set on "0". Once I replaced the fuse, the tach started reading rpm. I'm not sure where the power was coming from but some things it's easier to just accept and move on.

I just came in from working on the tach problem. I figured using the port engine to test the gauge was the way to go like you said. The wiring wasn't really long enough, so I just unplugged the green wire on the port gauge and ran a jumper wire over and plugged into the green on the...

OK, thanks seasick. I didn't get a chance to dig into it this morning. I got sidelined by a honey-do list, and a ballgame I want to watch is fouling up the afternoon. Tomorrow I will try again. This is the gauge....

I have a pair of 2003 Yamaha F115s. I took the boat out today and the starboard tach just reads zero. Tomorrow I'm going to dig into it and was wondering if someone on GG might know where the signal wire is under the cowl and what color it is. That would give me a place to start. I have the...

First message on the forum? Color me suspicious, sorry.

It would make one think that the 350s aren't selling too well.

This would be a simple solution. It is battery powered, so no cords. I use them for my wife's varied planters. They are easily programmed. You can set each outlet to go off at different times, so you get full flow to each flush...

On the drawing it states that "All dimensions are in inches" That's a lot of balsa.

Lowes, Home Depot or for more selection Masters and Carr.

If the plug is clean due to water intrusion, then the top of the piston in that hole will be clean also. At least the area right around the plug, so just put a scope in the spark plug holes till you see the one that is different. You can get an inspection camera for your smart phone really cheap...

The problem with a fish box there, is if you use gravity to drain it, it has to go in the bilge. That's a disaster. The other option is a macerator pump. It never gets it all, so you always have cleanup and stink. Macerators are troublesome. That space though, is very useful as storage.

The Keys in January are a bit windy. If your crew is a die-hard bunch, you will be OK. Family not so much. Key Largo if you like the social/sandbar scene plus some fishing. Marathon if you are just fishing. This is for this coming week. January will be similar...

Even if you aren't using the discharge valve, you should make it a point to exercise the valve once in awhile so it does not become inoperable.
