    yamaha 300 beeping and flashing gauge

    Need more info to get any help. What style gauges? Assume Yamaha? Best to get the programming instructions on the type gauge and it will probably tell you how to fix it. If You are talking fuel level, there are at least two different settings for types of fuel senders . You could be seeing some...

    FP 4200 Starting Problem

    The jam nuts, particularly the one on the valve in question seem to be tight when I readjusted. I agree, cam lobe wear would do the opposite. I did change to full synthetic 15 W 40. Can’t imagine how that would cause this.

    FP 4200 Starting Problem

    After having the 2007 generator run all night offshore for air conditioning, the next day would not start. Troubleshot relays fuel pump etc. and the final fix was an adjustment of the valves. As it turns out the intake valve was not closing completely, thereby reducing compression and allowing...

    sonar upgrade

    I just upgraded to dual Garmin 1243XSV. No separate sounder box required. How do you know you’re through hull transducer is not workable? I am not familiar with the Garmin 70/90. If that box gets the sonar from a GSD22 or Better, you could keep that and add the 1243. I think the Garmin 8612s can...

I plan to do a similar install near the garbage plug but maybe I can figure out a way to do it over the top of the garbage plug and make it centerline still researching.

    Transom mount transducer on 330.

    Thanks! I already have a 1K thru hull that works good, but looking for side scan like I have on my other boat. I used Sternmate on my other boat to keep from drilling, plus provides easy adjustment. The garboard (drain) plug being centered on the transom (keel alignment) is going to be a...

    Transom mount transducer on 330.

    I am considering putting a Garmin GT 56 transom mount transducer on my 330 between the engines. Has anyone done this? Does the side scan work with the engines tilted slightly up? Looking for advice and comment.

    330 Express cockpit deck drains

    I have an 07 330 and it would be nice to see a picture of your inspection ports. The inspection port on the starboard side by the transom shower has only 3 inches between that and the outside of the hull. A Larger cut out for a dual hot and cold shower might work but it’s still a long ways down...

    need help with engine wiring ; repowering 2006 Seafarer 228 Yamaha F225TXR with 2022 Yamaha f225XB engine wiring Single Red wire

    I was told the newer 4.2 Yamaha‘s do not have the alternative isolator charging lead capability. Therefore the new motor may not have a spot for this wire. I don’t have the manual to confirm that however.

    need help with engine wiring ; repowering 2006 Seafarer 228 Yamaha F225TXR with 2022 Yamaha f225XB engine wiring Single Red wire

    If they simply disconnected the wires from the old motor, an alternate charging lead if previously installed might still be attached to the battery/switch. Just a guess, but I wonder who hung the motors and why they did not finish the wiring?

    need help with engine wiring ; repowering 2006 Seafarer 228 Yamaha F225TXR with 2022 Yamaha f225XB engine wiring Single Red wire

    Most likely your alternate charging lead which was available on that year motor. Plugs into the fuse box and provides a secondary charging lead for a battery. If you follow it it should connect to the positive post of a battery switch or a battery. If you can see 12 V on the loose end with the...

    Starboard engine piss port
