    Fisher Panda Generator issue

    From HMBJack 2. With a wrench or socket on the drive shaft (facing port), TURN the generator crankshaft a bit (clockwise). I don't know if your genset requires a socket, but my earlier genset did not have a bolt head that fit a socket. You may need to grind a socket to fit a cross bar type of...

    Do you have a photo? I looked on the Grady site but couldn't find an example.

    Deck access plates

    I saw someone post an EBay link for Cat O rings that fit the 6" pry out. I can't find the link now. It was for 3 O rings at a very good price, with a robust o ring that works well. I'll look for the link. Looks like the price went up. Here is the model number in a photo.

    Lower unit stuck

    If you hit the top of the flywheel with a heavy deadblow is there a chance the shock might carry to that shaft? I like Kroil as it creeps well, but acetone and ATF might be cheaper. If you are on FB, check out Yamaha Tech Talk, post the question and watch for an answer from Wayne Shoup, the...

    Who Has Battled the Lower Bearing Carrier?

    If just removing the lower unit, I have it in neutral. On my model to remove the prop shaft you remove both the shifter and a water pipe.

    Who Has Battled the Lower Bearing Carrier?

    I started to remove the bearing carrier to simply change out the large O rings and seals. I've also changed the drive ahaft seals and the gear shift seals. This is all tied into my water pump routine. I'm selling the boat in the spring and I want it as bullet proof for the next owner as...

    Who Has Battled the Lower Bearing Carrier?

    I'm just wondering if I'm one of the few to have finally won a week's long battle with a lower bearing carrier, 2007 F250TXR. I tried the Marine Tech puller first. That is a heavy tool and I thought it would handle my salt encrusted carrier. Nope. Of course I had Kroil soaking over night on...

    Water tank sending unit 330 Express

    Thanks for the info. On my Marlin I have the same setup. How did you access the back of the display? Mine is located in the head on a solid wall. I need to dig in but thought you could save me time.

    Is there an owners registry?

    If the craft happens to be documented you can see the history online.

    2007 Marlin FS

    I also changed out the brake pads on all 3 axles so that is done for the new owner.

    2007 Marlin FS

    It is time for me to downsize a bit. I've owned the boat since 2014 and she handles the PNW waters very well. She is currently in a slip at Ilwaco, WA until the end of September. She will then be stored in my shop, nice and dry. Engines: Yamaha F250 & LF250 each with 1730 hours. Timing belt...

    Livewell Overflow

    I used the livewell for the first time in years for anchovies. It kept the bait alive for the 40 mile ride. Midway through trolling for albacore the bilge pump started and stopped after a bit. I discovered a flap of loose sealant at the top of the livewell. It was 2" wide. It was slopping...

    Yamaha timing belt advice needed

    Are some of the marks supposed to line up with marks on the belt? Do you have the service manual to make sure which marks line up with what? I sure wish my F250 was non-interference.
