    Speedometer on 2006 Yamaha F250's

    More info is needed: Do you have the LCD digital gauges? When you mention clearing the line, do you mean a small diameter hose that runs from the motor to the helm? To answer your question, the motor that sends the speed data is the one that has the signal connected. That really doesn't help. If...

    Anyone Offshore in an Adventure 208?

    The best advice in the responses is to pick your weather. My 208 can take a lot more 'abuse' than I can. In rough seas it can pound and that can take a toll on hour back In swells, at rest as when bottom fishing, it will roll a lot and if you or your crew are prone to queasiness, they will be...

    Water level - scuppers - new engine

    Keep an eye on that valve. Since it is brass, it might be subject to faster electrolysis.

    Fresh Water System Leak

    On some setups, there is an accumulator tank after the pump and that tank is pressurized. I don't think the 225 would have an accumulator tank but larger hulls with more fresh water demands probably would.

    bennett trim tab problems

    I am still working on this in my head. I often press both both switches and never have blown a fuse. For example, if prior to docking I want to make sure my tabs are up on myotherboat (no indicators), I press both Bow UP switches.

    Water in Bilge /recently repowered

    You mentioned that you ran the bilge pump to pump out the water that was about 2 inches deep. Is the automatic bilge pump working? That is not your problem but if it doesn't work, it could be a serious problem. Right now, you don't know if the water intrusion is static (while sitting) or...

    Yamaha Dual 704 Replacement Advice Needed

    It could be an adjustment or you used the wrong hole to reconnect the cable at the helm. Are you saying that not getting much power really means that you can't rev as high as you did earlier before the cable swap? To check the throttle movement, pull the cowling and with the help of another...

    '87 232 Gulfstream with twins and dual fuel tanks

    Part of the OP issue is that the diagram shows the plumbing but not what the valve handle looks like when a specific tank is selected. As mentioned by several reviewers of the Moeller valve,, the pointed end of the handle does not necessarily tell you what tank is selected. One might assume that...

    '87 232 Gulfstream with twins and dual fuel tanks

    I found multiple reviews about this valve, It may be a 3 position or a 4. You can't easily tell. In addition several reviews mentioned that you can't rely on the pointed end of the handle to tell you which port is selected. Those folks had to figure out which tank was selected and then mark the...

    Yamaha repower 115 to 150

    I am not certain. You need to compare the harness connectors at the motor. At some point in time, they changed but I don't know when. In some cases, if the connectors were different, there was a converter cable that allows connection of the newer motor connector to the older helm harness connector.

    Yamaha repower 115 to 150

    Assuming the newer motor is a 4 stroke also, I would think the wiring and gauges would be usable, hopefully without the need for any conversions cables

    GW Yamaha f225 TXRA motor issue

    What does 'dead centered the motor' mean. Did you replace the timing belt and if so did you check before removing the old belt to see if the timing had jumped? Also did you confirm that timing was correct after belt work? Hopefully you have a service manual. In either case you should do a...

    Fuel tank replacement costs

    This may sound odd but a 20 year old hull is still a 20 year old hull even if it has a newer tank, The tank is just one item that may need repairs or replacement. I don't see a new tank adding a lot of value to an older hull in terms of what it cost to replace. For example, do you think that a...

    mercrusier rpm guage

    Can't tell. perhaps you are only making 3800 revs. The gauge could be bad but without knowing what type and model it is, I can't recommend how to test.

    Fresh Water System Leak

    The shower head is the issue. It is either shot or gunked up. They can be taken apart (hand held type) and cleaned
