The Yam tech said they have not seen any FW engines affected by this problem.

I have a C120W but I think it's the same unit. I do have a platinum card, but perhaps this will work with the gold card. To get the better bottom resolution, go to "presentation" then "chart layers" and then select "fish" (I think that's the way to get to the "fish" setting- I'm doing it from...

Thanks- You're right about THT but I find the quality of responses on this site are dramatically higher, so I thought I'd try here. There are so many armchairs "experts" there, it's hard to get straight info. I did talk with a Yamaha tech and found the info I needed, but also learned that salt...

My 2004 F225s had bad dry exhaust stack corrosion- the Yam repair shop said worst they have seen. 390 hours. The port engine also had water in 2 cylinders that froze open the valves and lots of salt corrosion, so I needed a new powerhead. Lots of water in the oil. I'm trying to figure out...

The starboard compartment is definitely insulated- check out the pic which shows the access hole I made to replace the stnd Groco pump with a conventional macerator. You can clearly see the urethane insulation where I made the cuts. I can't confirm if it drains overboard because my boat is...

Not sure about insulating the baitwell, but the compartment under the lounge seat on the stbd side is well insulated and drains overboard. Not as convenient as the BW, but something to consider.

I have twin 2004 F225s. Went out Sunday and the port engine wouldn't rev up like the stbd,so we went back in to the dock. Checked the oil and it was milky and about 2 " over the full mark. Upon further inspection, I found a hole in the block about 1 1/2" from the tstat housing. It was 1/4" x...

I had a similar problem when I ran my 2004 265 with F225s for the first time after I bought it. I had been sitting for about a year before I acquired it. Turns out the VST filter had fine white crap on it that caused the engines to shut down. I had changed the Racor filters before using the...

I started with an in-hull tducer, in a well as Airmar instructs, and it worked just ok. Lost the bottom above 30 mph but in shallow water it worked fine at lower speeds. I switched to a thru-hull B60 tilted element as the other poster used and it works really well. Never lose the bottom at 50...

I installed the covers on my 2004 265 in 2011. They are made by Pompanette and they told me it is sunblock that causes the discoloration. The Grady part is #30-057. Found this on ebay, which is where I bought them http://www.ebay.com/itm/GRADY-WHITE-OEM ... 4897.l4275

I don't think the bench seat storage area is insulated. When I cut the bottom out to replace my macerator pump, it was just fiberglass with no insulation. I don't recall that there's insulation in the sidewalls, but I could be wrong on this. The large storage fish box in between the seats in...

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

Can you tell me what year your F200 is? I wonder if the same kit will work for 2004 F225?

Great additions and updates!. I particularly like the canvas work - who did the work for you? If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for the canvas job? I had just the clear part on my front windshield piece replaced with Strataglass and it was $400, so I can only imagine what the...

Believe it or not, it is an April Fool's joke! Watch the video. Good one Boating Mag http://videoportal.bonniercorp.com/url/ ... fff/000000

Here's their website- looks like they inject material at multiple locations, but there's not much detailed info provided. http://www.dryboat.com/northernStates.html

I use the one shown by the OPto change the oil filter on my F225s and it works great. No mess in the engine.

A mild acid will dissolve the pads. They're much like limestone (calcium carbonate) and diluted muriatic or even vinegar will do it. The trick is how to to keep it moist with the acid for a while. Perhaps wedge a soaked rag onto the tducer? The acid will dissolve it given enough time.

Re: FinAddict in NC Flush Mount Electronics Template for 265 I had them make the electronics box cover out of starboard that matches the surrounding FG quite well. I think it came out great. PM me and I'll be happy to send you my contact info so that Brown can dig up my template. I tried to...
