    Yamaha F250 Trim/Tilt Cap removal

    Noticed some leaking on the lift Rams and at least 1 tilt ram for my twin 2006 F250. Bought the tool to remove them and was able to get one off (the long lift ram) but motor wasn't high enough to remove and I couldn't budge the other ones. So after trying for awhile, I decided to remove the...

    Can you plane GW sailfish 282 or marlin on one F225hp engine

    Re: Can you plane GW sailfish 282 or marlin on one F225hp en I seriously doubt it. I had a 272 sailfish with 225 OX66 and we could not plane on one engine. It had lots of speed on 2 engines.

    GW 330 Shopping

    My brother and I purchased a 2006 330 express from Taylor in OC 4 years ago and we love it. Has F250s, diesel gen and freezer box. Great boat and awesome for overnight trips. On a 12+ hour canyon trip (60 miles out and trolling all day) we burn anywhere from 150-170 gallons. Happy to answer...

    Covering Adventure with Tarp

    I'm a shrink wrap kind of guy. The tarp moving back and forth during heavy winds could damage the gell coat.

    265 express air conditioner who has one?

    Good feedback. Maybe look for a larger boat with a gen and air already factory installed. Fill will grow and kids will get bigger and want to bring friends.

    265 express air conditioner who has one?

    You will need a generator. Seems like a lot of expensive work on a small boat. We have a 330 express with air and genset. It is nice!

    Need help: Fisher Panda 4200 Generator

    Re: Need help: Fisher Panda 4200 Generator (Fixed) Our problem with the generator blowing the 100 amp fuse behind the engine panel is fixed. Turned out to be a bad starter selenoid. We replaced it and it is running fine now. One thing to note is that there are 3 bolts holding the starter -...

    Need help: Fisher Panda 4200 Generator

    Re: Need help: Fisher Panda 4200 Generator (update) There is 100 AMP ANL fuse behind the engines on and off switches by batteries. I had to pull the panel to see the fuse. No one could tell be where it was. Replaced the fuse and tried the start generator and blew the fuse again. Heard some...

    Your GW dealer should have them. Have a professional put them on or take your time.

    Yamaha 250 OX66 - Will not idle

    When I had OX66's, we routinely changed the low pressure pumps - every few years and replaced the VST every other year or so. Always used non-ethanol fuel. Are you using ethanol or non-ethanol? I'm guessing change the low pressure first and then see. Might want to tackle the VST filter also...

    Need help: Fisher Panda 4200 Generator

    Does anyone know if there is a fuse on the back of the generator remote panel? I was told there may be a small round reset or push button. I didn't notice it when I pulled the panel Saturday. I have called Fischer Panda and Grady for assistance.

    Need help: Fisher Panda 4200 Generator

    Thanks. I checked all connections to the battery and tightened them and still no power to the generator or panel. I'm guessing it must be something on the generator! I did get that hot exhaust light on right side just inside start button prior to engine stopping. I do think we ran it with...

    Need help: Fisher Panda 4200 Generator

    Thanks. I'm wondering if starter fried and that is preventing the battery connection. Maybe something else. They batter is on the onboard charging system and looks to be fine.

    Need help: Fisher Panda 4200 Generator

    Does anyone know if there is a battery switch or fuse behind the main battery switch panel for boat and engine? I'm thinking this could be the issue but it will be a pain to pull it out to check.

    Need help: Fisher Panda 4200 Generator

    While offshore this weekend, I went to fire up the generator and thinking I was opening the raw water intake, I accidentally closed it and generator ran without water for a minute before I realized it. Turned off immediately. When I went to restart it, it would not start or run (just clicking...

    Bow Thruster blade missing

    Do you guys do any other Maintenance on bow thrusters? I have a 2006 330 express and I usually don't give it much thought during season. In fact, I need to change the anode since I haven't done so since purchasing boat 3 years ago.

    F250 lower mount corrosion

    I noticed the same corrosion on my 250s and asked a dealer and they said not to worry. Said it looks worse than it was. I don't know if I agree cause mine looked as bad as your bolts.
