I am running the same plugs br7hs 10, they haven't been changed this year (I used to swap out ever year in my old boat but seemed like a waste. Pretty sure i have an extra set I will swap them out after I run on Sunday if any issues). Willl observe for smoke also.

The plugs only have about 5 minutes on them this season in the picture, not sure of that makes a difference or if they would have burned clean already (fogged and sea foamed end of the season). Plugs were replaced last season and gapped (will recheck when I pull them after putting some hours on...

Thank you, was exactly the info I was looking for!

Engine was straight up and down and dead center, ordered a digital thermometer and will check head temps again once running. I guess was trying to following the water from static washdown intake to the lower unit, and was trying to figure how water is coming out by the shiftshaft "should" stay...

I also attach my straps around the trailer (front two straps on port goes to front two on starboard; third from front on port goes around trailer to fourth on port; 5th to the 6th on port; same for starboard. Makes it easier then throwing the strings under the boat, and if rig right can prevent...

Still wondering why when it overheated was just one side that was hot (may be air lock or water not getting to that side).

Issue (non issue) fixed!!!! First thank you! Second sorry for being an idiot. I took the boat down to the dock she started right up, dropped down to 700 rpms, and did not overheat. I gave a little throttle and the telltale was soo strong and super strong at idle. Not sure if had a clog or bad...

Just reading this now, and did what you suggested this morning. One side was definitely hot (couldnt keep hand on) and other side warm to touch. Thermostats were just replaced end of last season, checked and it looked and operated fine (used the pot of water method and saw it open and close)...

My swim pmatdor I only use the pool noodles (or pipe insulation) during the winter, but I do keep a small piece to put on the light socket although I have forgot and never had issue (was going to use that extra fabric it came with in that spot and never got around to it). I cover my swim...

My engine overheated when I started it up for the season (s150txru) and have worked on a few things since then (see other posts where the pros bailed me out. Water pump and driveshaft bushing replaced as it was beat). Should also mention the rpms seems a little high at around 10k after settling...

Glad your happy with recomendation - I pull mine to the back more and it covers the swim platform also (good for the winter), and built a small PVC frame for the back (and the front for winter storage- if decode to make I will send you pictures. I just lift the PVc house out of the back each...

Mission accomplished - thanks guys. You were right just pressure fit. I cleaned up area really good and greased it up- used a bolt with a washer and pushed it in with a hammer, circlip took a little work but got in using a pair of small needle nose since I dont jave the right tool. Thanks...

Thanks, afraid to clean up to much until I check for or someone can let me know what it should like in there. I was imagining something that would have grooved to match the replacement (maybe just pressure and the circlip hold the bushing in place/from spinning). I notice a groove on the bottom...

Another pic

Here is a picture of the puller and the area cleaned up a little. Does anyone know if inside should be smooth, part looks like there would be some channels in there for the bushing to grab onto. Going to leave as is until part gets here as I dont want to take away to much of the crud and have it...

Got the blind hole hammer slide today- it grabbed the bushing great but still couldnt get it too budge. Resorted to the hack small blade by hand and as ou guys said, the copper inside broke into pieces lightly prying and chipping at it, and it came out. The rubber was stuck in but came out...

I will try the hammer slide first and see if any help, and then go to saw if needed or doesnt come out easy (waiting for part to come first, dont want to remove until replacement comes hopefully mod this week). Rumors of them closing boat ramps om long island got me worried.

I ordered one online and will see what I get, was supposed to be a hex. Unfortunately the Allen was stripped when I got it, and took some work to get out (used some electric tape around the allen and tapped in with a rubber mallet).

This is what I ordered off ebay, will see if it is correct when it arrives. Sierra Marine Yamaha Trim Tab Bolt Replaces YM90105-10M00-00 M10 - 1.25 X 45mm

I have that exact tool coming in the mail mid next week (dolidnt think of the autoshops) Will report back
