I use Dow 111 Molykote. It is essentially a high temp silicon based grease. Not as expensive as some alternatives.

You can install an optional water pressure sender if it makes you feel better. You can also monitor actual temps with YDIS ($60) (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Diagnostic-cable-adapter-for-Yamaha-YDS-Marine-Outboard-WaveRunner-Jet-Boat/272277218057) or via the NMEA2K network on most MFDs. The ECU...

Good points! The fail-safe is that there are two overheat switches, one in each head that will sound off if the engine overheats, It's not quite that simple, since the ECU looks at other things such as running time and RPM before initiating the alarm. Those sensors don't care about water flow...

If you have the standard Yamaha gauges or the newer ones, you should have engine temperatures. That is what is most important. You could have high water pressure with a stuck thermostat or some other blockage and overheat the engine so what really matters is the temperature. I have one engine...

I just did mine and I thought that sticking it down when it is cooler would be best. It would not then shrink and pull away at the inside corners. The only risk would be buckling after it was applied if it expanded too much as it heated up. If it is too cool when applied it wouldn't conform...

There are phillips head screws that are accessible thru the grommets in the bottom of the bolsters. Not easy to locate and you have to feel around and push in on the mesh on the bottom to find them. I don't like the mounting method at all. Scout has SS tabs that stick down slightly so you can...

most newer boats do

It is easy to miss the O-ring. It is on the cap itself and is black rubber. The caps are designed to breathe and seldom is that the problem.

I bought some gel coat from iboats.com for my 2007 330 and it matches well. They carry Spectrum and you can choose the year and boat manufacturer. You will probably only need a small amount. Look on youtube for how to videos.

Once a boat is registered in Florida there is no ad valorem tax. Simply an annual registration fee. For example, my 2007 330 is $84 per year. I did have to pay 6% sales tax on it initially. In the past, if a boat was documented it did not have to be "registered" in the state. However I believe...

As for enclosures, A&J Canvas in Vanceboro NC does all of the GW OEM work and have most of the patterns. I'm pretty sure GW will refer you to them. There a lot of posts on this forum about A&J and all I have seen are very positive. They did an enclosure for my 330 and I was very pleased.

Agree with Hookup. I believe that is really just like an auto and is a sales tax. Have not heard of a "waterway use tax"

No such thing in Florida that I am aware of. You may be the target of a scam!

On my 2007 330, full gas tanks have very little impact (not noticeable) on the waterline. Not sure I understand what you mean by "weird waterline." All of the thru hull fittings that are stainless (scuppers, live well drains, generator exhaust, bilge pump outlet, etc.) should be well above the...

Looks good! Looks identical to my 4 lead which has worked very well in extending battery life since 2014! I leave it charging 24/7/365 on a lift. Good Luck!

Good info, but a few years back I was told by Promariner engineers differently with regard to engines charging with their charger energized. Maybe they changed the "smartness" since then? Back then they did recommend a 4 lead charger for two banks with two batteries each. They gave me a deal...

The electronics are not installed by the factory. Usually the dealer who initially sold the boat installs the electronics or has a subcontracted electronics installer. As for the rust ring, you can try vinegar, but more likely you'll need a product like Goof Off rust remover that contains...

I pulled off the vents of my 2007 330 and they were both well sealed with no way for water to get into the core.

I wouldn't run the engines with the charger energized. The new chargers are "smart" and having a different charging sources can cause problems. No need for both. I always turn off my battery charger before the engines are started so as to not have two sources trying to charge the same battery.
