    Yamaha motor availability

    For those of you like myself, either in the middle of a repower or considering one, motor availability is now looking like July-August timeframe. The Rona, parts supply, employee absenteeism, shipping, I guess all play a part in this. It's frustrating for sure on my part, been wanting to repower...

    Cracked block?

    Biggest issue I've seen with a tilted up outboard in the winter is the bearing carrier for the prop shaft will get pushed out and crack the housing from water freezing in it. It has happened. If you store you boat outside and motor is tilted up, even if you drained it, snow and rain can get in...

    what happened? 2 stroke oil overflowed and in my exhaust?

    The oil came through your carbs. If you take the air box off, I'm sure all your carb throats will have oil in them. The oil puddled in the lowest part of the air box. When the motor was tilted up, the oil was actually running out of that lower opening. Look at the bolt head behind it, has oil on...

    Opinions- New enclosure GradyBlue or OffWhite?

    Lee at A&J gave me the option of the blue or the off white. Went back original blue. With my stripes and the cabin side flags in the navy blue, just seemed right to keep the enclosure blue. Was afraid going with the off white would make the whole boat looked washed out. I like the contrast of...

    Yamaha anodes

    Be careful with regular grease as it could deteriorate the rubber. I bought some silicone grease for my pop in inspection plate O-rings. You could possibly use that on those rubber grommets.

    Trailering - motors up or down?

    Hook,,,, I use the steering stops also. Keeps motor centered and keeps the pressure off the steering cylinder with the motor trying to lean to one side or the other while traveling.

    Thru-hull scupper on 282

    Shouldn't be any confusion. Look at the chart I posted above. 11-463 is the old GW part number on left in blue, when Grady sourced from Perko. The new number is 11-657 in green, and Grady is now sourcing through Premier. Yes these are SS, but they are not submerged 100% of the time, so there has...

    Correct, the motor will go into a limp mode per se, to protect itself.
