    Programming Yamaha Speed/Fuel guage

    I am a new owner of a 2007 305 Express. I, unfortunately, thought the Speed/Fuel guage could be programmed to show remaining fuel. I screwed up the programing and now have no idea about the fuel level, nor do I know how much fuel is in either tank. I just added 200 gallons of which the majority...

    1998 islander fuel tanks

    Thanks for the clarification. Its a new boat for me and it only has one tank aft. After running out of gas due to a faulty gas guage i thought i only had a 71 gallon tank according to the owners manual. But its 134 gallons. I plan on adding the aux tank. All the plumbing is there. Do you know...

    Fuel gauge question - what to trust?

    I have found my Yamaha fuel flow and consumption meter is accurate within a gallon or two. I will fill up the tank full. reset the guage on fuel burned and start my trip off at zero. The next time I fill up I will compare what I burned to what I just put in to get it full and the difference is...

When I got that boat, I didn't find any fuel flow metering devices and wasn't sure how they determined consumption. It turned out that the...

    Grounds and label

    Thank you. The fuel guage does work so it makes sense it gets grounded through the screw. I know the tank has a ground tab so wjile i have it all open i want to make sure it all ok. Should i run from that tab to the sacrifial anode stud? Should i clean off the paint from the anode? I trailer...

    Toilet Question/Need Advice

    Thanks for this information, I’m hoping to only have to add the 40 amp breaker near the batteries and the new 25 amp breaker for the toilet pump when it arrives from Amazon .

    OX66 LP Fuel Pumps

    A timing light could be a useful tool. If you could run the motor around 3500 rpm under a load with it hooked up, watch the to see if the timing changes when it surges. If the tps is not working correctly, the timing will fluctuate and mirror the surge. If you try hooking it to each coil wire...

    Yamaha ox66 250 HP WOT 4900 @35 MPH. Is this normal?

    29 Gallons per hour if you run it full throttle. You CAN install a fuel flow motor....two different ways to do it but it depends on what you have for electronics. If you have a GPS/FF that is NMEA 2000 (N2K) you can add a fuel flow sensor which goes in the fuel line and connects to your...

    A dead spot, shorted or open sender will not cause the lower bars to go blank. If the bars are blank during self test, the guage is defective

    Fuel Guage and Sending Unit Problems -Update-

    Re: Fuel Guage and Sending Unit Problems I can relate. I put a brand new 208 in last year and 3 months later the fuel gauge was blinking one bar with a full tank. My Dealer said it would be repaired before I get it back this season.
