    Yamaha paint codes

    Take it to an auto body shop and have them color match and spray it for you. The closest match I found was made by Tempo, but they got bought out by Moeller and that paint isn't offered anymore. Some say Colorrite is good, but I have very bad luck with it...and it ain't cheap.

    1st Grady White purchase 1989 Tournament 192?

    Between those three, I would choose the newer Sea Hunt first (especially if the Suzuki is a 4-stroke), the Key West second and the GW last.. My Dad has a Triton 220 CC and it appears to be a good, solid boat. Definitely worth the $$$. I don't know much about the Key West, but I have...

    motor bracket leak - what's the best fix?

    My swim platform had two lag bolts on each side of the bracket in addition to the side supports. It was also bedded in either 4200 or 5200...which made it a b*tch to get off. I tried numerous methods of getting through the caulking (I'm not listing them all), but the most effective was to use...

    This is the one I built for my brother's old '84 Tournament 19... Here's the one I did for my old '85 204 Fisherman... And lastly a very "not fancy" one for my current '93 Sailfish 252G...

    1990 GW 19' Tournament request

    Scott Cambra at Vector LED (http://www.vectorled.com) for the instrument panel or make it yourself. Scott can provide a completely finished panel or just an engraved blank so you can do the rest. It's not hard to do if you have basic woodworking and wiring skills. I've done several now and...

    1995 Yamaha Twin 2 Stroke 200 SW series oil filter question

    Then why would Yamaha publish in the OX66 owner's manuals to use 50:1 premix during break-in and after long periods of storage?

    Sounds to me like it's a good time for the designers/engineers at GW to start considering inboard (gas or diesel) power for current and future models...

    1995 Yamaha Twin 2 Stroke 200 SW series oil filter question

    That's the main problem with owners manuals. The only things they tell you about are the stupid little things you can do yourself that the dealers probably don't make much money off of... Ever seen VST service, low pressure fuel pumps, oil tank maintenance, decarb, etc. in an owners manual...

    Why are the two lower pistons in pic 5 at about the same spot in the cylinders? Aren't all three supposed to be in different positions like those in the other pic?

    Keep an eye on Ebay too. I picked up a very nice set of lightly used 19 pitch Mirage Plus props about 2 years ago for like $265.

    Twin 130s on an '87 Gulfstream?

    A friend of mine is currently looking at an '87 Gulfstream with a single 225 mounted on a twin engine bracket. The engine has low compression so he is considering installing a pair of early 90s 130 Yamahas (that he already owns) if he picks up the boat. However, he is concerned that the twin...
