Good eye there KY. Having a closer look on the second picture I think I can see where the belt could be rubbing on some plastic cover, have a closer look there.

I'm very surprised you say that, I never had a S/S caliper seize in 25 years I used them I always used Kodiaks and I just rinse the brakes when I get home sometimes even the next day but mostly the same day. I wouldn't use anything else as I find them cheaper in the long run and they are three...

Thanks for the reply and the link. From what I understand this kit (835274Q1 Flo-Torq II Hub Kit Yamaha) will suit Yamaha as far as I can tell the only difference from the kit I posted is the forward thrust washer. Can you confirm ? If thats the case I can just get that rather than the whole...

Thanks for the reply . I know the the Yamaha prop will fit merc they have the same shaft 15 tooth spline. If your prop was old it would have a pressed bush. My question is will the flow-torq hub that the Merc props use to fit on the Merc shaft fit the Yamaha shaft, not sure if you need a...

I have several Mercury props that I would like to try on my 4.2 Yamaha. Merc use the flow-torq hub kits on their shafts . I think I can use my Merc props on the Yam but I'm not familiar what Yam use. Would the Merc hub kit fit ? Do I need a different hub kit? I know the that's are the same...

I assume the engine runs perfect so timing is still correct . That doesn't look good, not normal I wouldn't think, mine has 300 hours now and it is clean. I would take it back to the dealer at least for inspection but I would expect them to find out the reason. At this rate the belt will not...

You still put the trailer in the water just the same as others said it is the actuator unit that you don't want to go in the drink, it doesn't matter if it gets wet in the rain or hosing when you clean the boat . It can't be submerged .If you put it on the winch post you should be fine. If you...

I like the second one Russ you can retract it when you go fishing if that's what do , if you don't fish the first one is ok too. I only use my boat to fish so neither are any good to me. Whatever you do don't use gal steel, gal steel and boats in saltwater don't go together. You want marine...

Russ they are very reliable and very good these days, I bought my first Hydrastar way back 1991 had it on that trailer for 10 years running reliably . Back then they weren't as good as they are today being a bit slow to react now they are much faster . In Australia every boat over 2000 kg ATM...

Unless a boat is used commercially you can't put enough hours to kill the engine . Time is what kills them, a 20 yo engine is well and truly done if you want it to be reliable . I don't know about you but I take my boat a long way offshore and I want to know that she will start and run to bring...

Give it a year or so and you will find big discounts everywhere, same as with GFC. Back then it lasted several years reminds to be seen what happens this time but it doesn't look good for world economies. I hope it blows away quick but it doesn't look good.

I have a 228 g hardtop and I use a generic jumbo boat cover . I want my cover to cover the sides of the boat so the sun doesn't kill the gelcoat . This is only storage cover I take it off for trailering. When I had a soft top I was using the same with bimini always down and a timber frame from...

I wash the boat at home at night , it takes two people about 75 minutes one washes inside hardtop fish tanks etc.. and I usually wash the exterior, rinse the trailer, brakes etc.. I make sure I run water inside the trailer cross-members and i drilled a 5/16" hole on each cross member in the...

If I wanted a hardtop, I would buy a boat with hardtop, end of story. If you are thinking that you will save money buying a vista top then adding a hardtop forget it it will end up costing you more unless you make one using ally tube then put a canvas on top even then by the time you make front...

We are lucky here we fish all year around but you can too in the southern states, it won't be long now your summer is around the corner. Even COVID-19 couldn't stop me fishing. In any case the way things are going I have to go fishing so the family can have protein ( good excuse) , we can't...

I installed them on my new trailer back in 2012, trailer was made in USA to AUS specs, she came with Chinese bearings as well. First thing I did replace bearings , install S/S sleeves, S/S calipers, S/S Rotors, S/S brackets and pads with S/S backing plates. A few thousand miles later and lots of...

We don't kill marlin here only on the very rare occasion that it maybe a record on in the case of blues they may die . The only time I killed one was in Tahiti a blue 220 kg ( about 460 lb) only because the locals there kill them to eat . I don't usually post fishing reports, I don't feel they...

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dbkBc-5HnrpR0xaRLn1GwfshHQvO88gu/view?usp=drivesdk It is best to download for better clarity. The boat is 228 G about 40 miles offshore. We tagged 3 on the day this one the biggest about 7' 8" short length and about 220 lb.

I don't understand why you guys are having so much trouble with your trailer bearings. Set it up right in the first place and you never have any problems for years on end, do it wrong and you are always in trouble. I use S/S sleeves on my spindles very easy to install , i'm sure you can find...
