Granger has a set of rubber stoppers in different diameters. https://www.grainger.com/product/8DHY8?gucid=N:N:PS:Paid:MS:CSM-2295:TVRYAD:20501231&gclid=42a70b8e704a1be2f03b6d7be48eb106&gclsrc=3p.ds&msclkid=42a70b8e704a1be2f03b6d7be48eb106&gclid=42a70b8e704a1be2f03b6d7be48eb106&gclsrc=3p.ds If...

Maybe something like this...

They are not all like that as a rule. One thing to look at is to eyeball and note the water line distance relative to the rub rail or maybe the bottom paint line if you have bottom paint. Measure at a forward spot and at the transom. Select a forward spot that can be remembered such as where a...

It lists at rest with n one on it? Did it always? Listing at rest is not unusual but if a hull all of a sudden lists there has to be a reason. It can be a lot of things like extra gear on the starboard side, water in the bilge and or wet foam, a shifted gas tank or other tank, installation of...

I went to a boat show in CT, in yesterday to look at a few boats, Gradys, Whalers, and Pursuits in particular, both new and used. My goals were to look at build, storage, serviceability, access, features and to a lesser extent, price. Since I am in the market for a dual console, I only looked...

A hull with a flat bottom ( really flat) will be the easiest to get on plane. It will however not handle well and will tend to pound in chop. When the hull starts moving over the water,, as the water fights to pass under it, air gets trapped and creates an air cushion. The air cushion reduced...

Historically there was only one color but it isn't white. It's an off white tint. In the last dozen or so years, colors have become popular but I suspect the Grady 'white' is still the most popular. Also in general, light colors will fade less quickly than darker colors in the sun. Darker...

After several years of above average increasing demand, inventory challenges, and inflated pricing, I think I am now seeing changes in the boat market. I usually judge by the amount of asking price decreases and those seem to be increasing. There are a few shows coming up over the next several...

I found it less expensive to buy a 25 foot box of hose. In addition, you may need more length than you initially estimate. The run from the tank to the separator and to the primer is not a straight run. If the primer is old, you should replace that also. buy a genuine Yamaha bulb. Many of the...

You can use a 15 amp to 30 amp. A 50 amp shore power outlet would be a 230 volt service. There are splitters that convert a 230 voly 50 amp to two 115 volt outlets but It can in some cases cause dangerous situations and I don't recommend them. Are you sure there is no 30 amp 115 volt outlet?

Make sure that it will fit specifically the clearance to the bottom of the locker. You may have to move things that are there already. You want enough bottom clearance not only to be bale to change the filter but also to access the drain fitting.

I just cut the sealant with a utility knife until I could get under the caulk with a small screw driver. I also uses a metal scraper to pry ehr sealant away from its edges. It takes a bit of effort to get started but it wen quickly after the first sections were taken out. I may have already...

You can't make an apples to apples comparison just by comparing 3 blade to 4 blade. I general a 4 blade will give better thrust(quicker on plane) at lower revs but will reduce the WOT top end speed. A 4 blade prop if optimized may also be a different diameter than a 3 blade for a given...

Although not Yamahas, I have a boat with Mercs and they also spew what looks like steam. One does it more than the other. Since I couldn't find anything wrong with temps and water pressure, I learned to not get concerned:) My old 2 stroke SX motor would also spew a cloud of mist when the ambient...

Does the motor spit 'steam' all the time or when cold, or hot? The first step is to determine if the motor is indeed running hot or not. If you don't have a display of engine temperature, the easiest way to check is to use an IR contactless thermometer. It's a handy dandy tool and serves a lot...

If the engine is not running hot at idle, there is no need to replace the poppet valve. I also suggest you start a new post since this one was started 2 1/2 years ago. On the new post, list the motor model and year.

If there are nuts, I would assume they are still there. Getting to them is the hard part. See if you can feel around under the gunnel for the bolts. I would try to TIGHTEN the existing bolts using a power driver. If the actual cleat is loose, try putting something under one of the wings and...

Yes. if it really has only a hose, it is most likely the reservoir for a bow thruster . If you can follow thr hose it should lead to the bow thruster pump module

That is where some of the trim tab pumps were mounted but I would expect more than just a tank and a hose. A picture will help

After 13 years, I would replace the whole pump. The kit contains impeller, housing, rub plate, man gaskets and other misc parts. After all that time, I would also suggest a pressure and vacuum test of the LU to make sure the seals are sealing. I find that the Yami impellers last longer than some...
