    Adventure hatch problem

    Yes, fish box and anchor covers. I’ll try to repair myself or find someone here in s jersey. I can understand sealing the bottom edge is most important. Thanks for the quick response.

    Adventure hatch problem

    All 4 hatches have the same problem. Moisture must wick up into the filler material, then freeze in New Jersey winters and split open the gel coat.

    Re-build or buy new?

    Thanks again for the reply's. One suggestion that makes some sense to me is to go with a 150-4 stroke. The price new is less than a 200 HPDI (2 stroke) and the weight is about the same. The 150 performance on the same boat, recently re-powered was 4000 rpm-24 mph, 4400 rpm-28 mph and wide...

    Re-build or buy new?

    Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. I have now decided, since I have the boat I want, that I will go with new. Will be attending the boat show in Atlantic City in Feb. to try to get the best deal I can direct from the Yamaha Reps. Maybe a extended warranty or discount on cost...

    Re-build or buy new?

    Thanks Doc, I was making some calls today and it looks like a rebuilt powerhead is 4000 to 5000, new anywhere from 13000 to 18000 (4 stroke). I did however find a 2004, Yamaha 200 hp. fuel inj. w/only 500 hrs. for $7500. Don't know if that is a good price or not?

    Yamaha tach & speedometer Problem

    Thanks for all your help. After checking the wiring for faulty connections, I ended up replacing both gauges with new ones from Central Marine in St. Petersburg, FL. Good service and a discount also. Sent gauges the same day. The new ones are nice and bright, but now trim indicator doesn't...

    Yamaha tach & speedometer Problem

    I have a 1995 Yamaha 200 on my Adventure 208. The Multifunction Speedo and Tach. instruments seem to be working, but are so dim that I have to cup my hands around them to block out light to see the numbers. Does anyone know of a fix or do they both need to be replaced? Thanks for your help.
