First you need to ask two questions: Is there an existing immediate issue and secondly if not is there a potential for near term issue to develop. For example, is the existing cap corroding in a fashion that water would seep under it and potentially wet the coring. In the first case, is water...

What I said applies to Yamaha motors, not Hondas.

If the boat has a manual activation switch at the helm for the aft bilge pump, that function should have worked even without the fuse (assuming the battery switches were on). That is an easy test to check the pump.

The statement that the tendency to roll or the response to changes in the tabs angle is less for electric tabs versus hydraulic is misleading The electrics are indeed usually quicker to move when actuated but the end result at a set angle would be the same regardless of actuation type. In the...

The shaft length would be 25 inches. The old motor should have a model number tag on the bracket . The second letter of the model's last four letters is the shaft length. An X means 25 inch

It depends on the gross load . Remember that the hardware ( hooks, etc) have to be as strong as the chain, I found this on an RV site for sizing. Each chain must be independent of the other or of the coupling and shall have an ultimate strength at least equal to the gross weight of the...

I don't understand what are you asking? If you have the boat already, can't you measure:)

I think it was something like this...

You may get lucky and find a Rubbermaid plastic storage box that fits the opening. I'll see if I can find the specific model that others have used

Do you know if that idle speed is correct or if it is low?

It's best to measure at the sender opening and subtract 1/2 inch if tank is metal or 1 inch if plastic. Then select the nearest size available. You may have a float type sender. I suggest that you install a rod type sender from KUS

There may be a switch on the motor that detects neutral (not the same as the neutral safety switch at the helm) I have no experience with those motors but I would try shifting the motor using the shift rod on the motor with the motor idling and tied off at the dock. You probably will have to...

I looked up the parts diagram and it looks like that bolt is a $52 part !!! Can that be??

Is it the top of the trim ram rod that you were referring to??? Yikes, yours looks like the tip corroded away. I don't think the tops on mine are bolts but rather part of the rod. Routine maintenance for the rods is to put a small schmear of grease on the tip. ( which should be rounded)

A parrasitic discharge can run a battery down but it shouldn't kill it. What type of batteries do you have? The wrong battery and usage can greatly shorten it's life for flooded cell types. I see your location is the Jersey Shore so the excessive heat that southern boats ( like Florida) is not...

Interesting. Can you post a picture of those bolts?

I believe that the 11.5 volts was a low voltage alarm from an electronic device like a multi-function plotter. When the thruster is activated, it draws significant current that will result in a voltage drop at the battery which shows up at the accessory (house) bus and eventually at the...

It's a boat part !

If it is a Yamaha oem pump, your price is decent.
