    On the water impressions of my 228

    The best aftermarket replacement for your motor is 18-3396-1. Sierra part. This one comes with the housing, plate, gaskets, o rings, impeller, and bolts. Sierra makes great water pumps. not so great fuel filters though. When assembling housing, I use 3m 847 to seal the o rings so they don’t...

    On the water impressions of my 228

    The damage to the water pump is due to lack of water. If the hose falls off, weak water pressure, or you suck a bag for 10 seconds or so, the impeller melts into the housing. It depends on water to keep it cool. No water n it gets hot extremely quickly. I always use the flusher that supplies...

    Hawaii fun

    That is a great catch. I need to be fishing in Hawaii. I have been planning a trip to Hawaii for the first time once COVID-19 is under control. Was going to do some diving. Fishing just went on the list of activities.

    228 - making it water tight?

    Haven’t worked on the new Tohatsu motor. Maybe like the E-TEC does it. They can pull start without a battery. Since Evinrude E-TEC doesn't need a charge coil or a sensor coil (because these functions are controlled by the EMM), a full-diameter stator which uses more windings is employed...

    When Things Don’t Go As Planned

    Shipping looks about 60us dollars for a 5 day ship to Australia for 1 filter. That’s crazy. I stock these filters by the dozens. If you have the bowl, you may be able to get the replacement element.

    Losing RPM

    Those carb idle jets are set by bottoming out the setscrew and backing it off 1 1/2 turn. Then turn in just a very very small smidge. That is the magic setting for the Yamaha carbs on all those 2 strokes. I’ve done literally over a thousand carb rebuilds in my time.

    Losing RPM

    I would replace the Sierra filters with oem racor filters for better protection. Dirt and water pass through Sierra filters easily. Then remove the screen inside the tank. This will let anything that is in the tank to get sucked up and caught in the racor. also Remove the check ball and...

    Nav lights- troubleshooting.

    I had the same problem. I replaced my fixture with a new led one and replaced the connections at the switch. LED has less corrosion issues and is much brighter. I was tired of changing corroded bulbs.

    Can't Post Pics

    Original pics seem to download easier than screenshots. A screenshot must be a larger file.

    After 33 years she still gets it done!

    Routine maintenance, no oil pump, and Rec fuel is the key. (Non ethanol). My boat is an 88 and has never seen ethanol.

    2009 Yamaha F250 bogging down, stalled out underway

    The best fuel line on the market is oem Omc fuel hose. It’s not cheap but worth every penny. About 8 bucks a foot for 5/16 and 3/8. I buy it by the 25 ft roll to supply my customers.

    OX66 Troubleshooting Question - HELP!

    If the pump jammed up it may be able to be cleaned and fixed. To free it up, hook it up to a battery on the bench n switch the pos and neg back n forth. Don’t run it more than a few seconds once it is free.

    OX66 Troubleshooting Question - HELP!

    It sometimes will fill all the way if the ball is pumped a lot. Then it goes to 2/3 after running. I would first drain the filter in the boat and see what you got. If there is a Red water ring in the filter under the hood, make sure it is not floating. The red ring sinks in gas and floats in water.

    OX66 Troubleshooting Question - HELP!

    Great point. The key turns on the high pressure pump for 3 seconds when the key is first turned on. You can hear it if you listen to the vst and have someone turn on the key at the same time. Then it shuts off until the motor is running. If there is a problem with the relay, you will have no...
