Rich I thank my friend all the time. If its only $10 bucks I will change it. And great idea with the clear tube I will try that. The dealer suppected thats what was happening but it could be something else. All I know it didnt happen last year. Bob it is an 90° elbow. I will check the bulb next...

Thank you for your input. I know how the paper towels got in there. I have a cheap friend who put gas in my boat with an old 5 gal gas tank with the top tube missing so he would just stuff paper towels to stop the gas from coming out. It was my fault for letting him use the boat. My owners...

I have a 1988 20' 204C walk around with a 2000 200hp. Yamaha. I had a problem two years ago where my engine would cut out after running at high RPM for a while. The dealer ended up fixing it and said it was the screen in the gas tank pick-up tube was getting clogged with a paper towel that was...

Just an update. I got it in the water last weekend and took it for a little ride and everything seems fine for now. So a good leason has been learned the hard way. Make sure you hook up your battery correctly. Thanks for everyones help.

I got it started last week and seems to be fine. I am running down all the other things I blew. Radio was out, bilge didnt work, stereo doesnt work. I fixed the radio. It was a fuse. The bilge pump was fried. I still have to replace that. I have not gotten to the stereo yet. I hope thats just a...

I just hope the fuse caught it in time before it got anything else.

Here is an update. I check it out last night with a continuity tester and went through and check all the fuses, the circuit breaker, the battery switch, all were good. At the engine there was a 12v-80amp fuse that blew. There was a spare fuse on the engine so I change it and restored power to...

Its a 2000 Yamaha OX66. I have someone who will help me on wed night. I will keep you all updated.

Let hope your right. I never did turn the ignition. Thanks maybe I can sleep tonight. I dont think I will be able to get to it until tomorrow but I will let you guys know. Thanks for all your help.

That is true. Thanks for your compassion.

I will try that thanks. It makes me ill to think of the damage that might be done.

The circuit breaker would have been cooled off. I wasnt able to see if I hooked it up wrong until the next day when I could get my diagram. Where I get no power anywhere Im hopeing it didnt make it to the motor. I will get a tester and try that.

On your engine? I dont have power anywhere and Im not sure how to check it to see if its getting power past the circuit breaker.

The negitive was hooked up to the positive. How do those circuit breakers work? Is it like in your house where you could reset it or do they just blow out and need to be replaced.

I do have a switch. After hooking the batterys up I turned the switch to the 1st battery and then tried to put up my engine and there was no power. So not thinking there was anything wrong I tried the other battery and still no power. There was no noise that I know of. I check my diagram and I...

I did a stupid thing. I tried to hook my batterys up by memory and did it wrong. I had one battery hooked up in reverse. I redid them the right way but now no power. The batterys are good. I think I blew the breaker but when I try pushing the button it wont go in. Did it burn it up? Has anyone...

The motor is a 200 Yamaha. That sound like a graet deal. Are you a dealer? I still have to look to see what length cable I need. What is the best way to get intouch with you? Thanks

Thanks. I wont be going back to a big-T. I hate drilling new holes when I dont have to. Maybe I will call teleflex to see what they have. Thanks again for you help.

Thanks. It looks like a big-T rotary helm which I found on west marines web site. If I get a new no feed back system will I have to retrofit anything? Or can I buy on that will fit the big-T hole patten?

I have a 1988 204C overnighter that needs new steering. Its mechanical and I dont have the money to put hydraulic. Would anyone know what it was? What I should get? And how long of a cable I should get? Any advice will help Thanks.
