    2005 Yamaha 250 4-stroke stalling at low speed

    My first suspicion would be that spring maintenance that was performed. Check everything they did for proper installation. Fuel/water filter/separator tight? Check to make sure the old gasket didn't get stuck to the housing when they removed the old filter and wound up with two gaskets on the...

    ENGINE FLUSHING

    Maybe I misunderstand what you are trying do. Are you running your engine while flushing or doing a static flush using the hose connection on the engine?

    ENGINE FLUSHING

    How are you providing water to the pump when flushing. Are you using muffs, or a tub? If you are using muffs, then hose volume and pressure are important as is fitment of the muffs to the lower unit, of course. Also, before attaching the muffs, remove the plastic screen on the water inlet of the...

    Meaning of Dash Switch

    SPST......single pole - single throw switch. Turn it on to see what starts. If nothing starts, then check wiring to see if 12V is reaching the switch and check to see that 12V is leaving the switch when turned on. If that is happening but nothing is happening, then follow the wire leaving the...

    2014 F250 XA shutting off

    If, when it bogs down, will it come back to life if someone pumps the primer bulb? Additionally, when it stalls, is the primer bulb sucked flat?

    Towing a GW 235 with BMW X5?

    Well, I read and reread the previous posts, then got out my long tape and it appears that Dennis pissed just a little farther than Mustang. Now, for our next episode....stay tuned. ;)

    2005 Tournament 205 Drain Issue?

    I owned a tournament 205, which lived on a trailer at home. The front drain does not limber aft unless you raise the trailer tongue considerably. Remove your garboard plug and crank up the tongue and I think you will see water coming out. There is a 1/2 inch PVC pipe that carries the water aft...

    Voyager Repower

    What you are experiencing with the motor being too high is ventilation not cavitation. Two different things. If your dealer is taking care of the cost of trying out different props, then fine, but if you are being nicked for this experimentation then I would recommend calling Prop Gods.

    Gulfstream 232 bilge pump/switch

    The float switch may have got debris under it or bound up, preventing it from disconnecting the pump. It may also have failed internally but that's unlikely.

    2021 & 2022 Freedom 285 engines & optional equip questions

    Boatless, I was just kidding you about the headlight thing. Do realize though, it is not kosher to run a boat with anything other than red/green nav lights and all- around white. Search lights, whether mounted or hand-held can be used on a temporary basis to locate/identify channel markers...

    Fresh water hose cover 1999 GW 208

    Yes, as far as I know. The previous owner of my boat was not a do-it-yourselfer, he changed nothing and it has Scandvic fittings. Be aware that if your boat has the cup with the flexible strap like seasick mentioned above, then to install the hinged type, you will have to increase the size of...
