    Depending on the extent of the damage, an automotive body shop usually can do a pretty good job repairing the damage.

    Grady 275 Freedom rolling issue

    I agree with Dennis. You probably are pressing the tab button until you see a change. That will result in too much trim. When adding trim/tab press the switch for 2 seconds and then wait for 10 to 15 seconds or so to see how that worked out. As dennis also mentioned, experiment with the motor...

    Orange fuel/Water?

    It looks like there may there may be three layers in that jar. That would indicate phase separation. If so, the mixture has to be disposed of. If two layers you may have more water than gas. If your nose works ( my doesn't) smell it. If it doesn't really smell like gas, it's probably mostly...

    282 sailfish value

    2006 motors are in the group that are prone to the exhaust corrosion issue. A scoping at a minimum is advisable in addition to a survey.

    Twin motors not staring start

    Try a little spray of starting fluid. You can also use brake clean. Spray into the intake manifold and see if the motor fires up. I it does, it means you have a fuel delivery issue or fuel condition issue.

    Twin motors not staring start

    I assume this is an injected motor. Is that correct? The question about fuel in the 'carbs' or the motor in general is a good one. After tring to start with no success, pull a spark plug or two and see if the tip is wet or dry. If wet, you have fuel

    Twin motors not staring start

    Neutral safety switch would do it also but generally if you try to start and not in neutral the alarm would sound (assuming the alarm works). Also recheck the battery connections. You may have missed a black jumper wire of the accessory ground wire connection when the batteries were reinstalled...

    Twin motors not staring start

    Since you killed the kill switch, I would look there first at whatever it was that you rewired.

    One year later and things do not seem right

    I just looked at some specs and Suziki says the motor should be mounted 2nd hole up on a three hole template. It seems that the 16 inch diam is correct for the 250. Your two different pitches result in pretty decent slip percentages but 5200 WOT with the 21 seems too low. The 18.5 pitch looks...

    Yamaha gauge question

    Weird indeed! When there is a water sensor, I don't know if the signal runs directly to the gauge or if it goes to the ECU which in turn sends a signal to the gauge. The only thing that I would try is checking all the harness connectors for corrosion or the like as well as the connectors on...

    2 stroke oil leak

    Thats a common spot for a leak. There are a few things you can try. First is to pop the sender and clean the neck of the tank and the inside of the cap. Make sure that the cap aligns with any tabs in the neck. See how that works out. Using a zip tie around the sides of the cap can help seal it...

    Trailer set up for 2005 Grady 225 Tournament

    I think the factory spec for the 225 is 56 3/4 inch between the two inside edges of the bunks. Depending on the specific bunks, the center to center spread would be about 59 inches for 2 by lumber on edge Setting up the forward bunks is not an exact science. It is often adjusted after the hull...

    2 stroke oil leak

    What year and model is the motor? Explain what you mean by 'leaks when tilted" Some 2 stroke model develop a leak in the oil tank sender fitting that causes the motor to leak oil when the motor is tilted up. The oil pools in the lower cowling so you dont see a leak on your driveway for example...

    Yamaha gauge question

    The gauge will enable the water detection function if it thinks that your motor has that detection circuitry. I am not sure how to eneble/disable the alarm but if the engine model specified in the setup supports water detection then the feature on the gauge will be activated. Have you played...

    Trailer set up for 2005 Grady 225 Tournament

    This is a really rough guess: Space the aft bunks about 57 inches apart. Forward bunks , try 27 inches, Position winch bumper so that the distance from the center of the two tires to the transom is about 75 inches. These are based on a newer 228 but should be close enough

    Yamaha gauge question

    Does your motor have a fuel filter with a water detection signal wire?

    Trim piston stuck

    If the tilt system is low on fluid, air pockets will form. Just cycling the motor up and down can bleed the bubbles out but there has to be fluid in the reservoir to bleed completely You might also have contamination in the oil that is causing a check valve in the pump body to not "check" and...

    Tachometer

    If y0u have an ignition coil, the signal comes from that. Probably the coil that fires cyl 1.

    Tachometer

    I'm not 100% sure but if the motor is a 2 stroke with fuel injection, the tack signal comes from the Electronic Control unit and is a green color wire. I don't know if this info is going to help .
