Many combo systems ( overboard discharge or pump out) have a Y valve that selects which mode will be active. The two methods share the same discharge port on the holding tank. If the Y valve is left in the Overboard position, you can not pump out, the path is blocked by the valve. The opposite...

Well if the OP was confused before, his head is swimming now. Way too much info for a newbie to marine battery application:) Even I had to stop every now and then and give my brains a second to catch its breath. I pretty much agree on everything and even learned something about cold cranking...

More info please Model boat? Single or dual tank? What service did they perform? What does the gauge read, empty, full or is it blank? What type gauge do you have, analog digital etc?.

Solar is possible to trickle charge and keep charged batteries fully charged, but you don't have enough roof space to add panels that can actually charge discharged batteries in a reasonable time frame.

You need narrow circlip pin pliers with longish bits. I have had mine for many years. That set was an internal and external handle with a selection of replaceable and different angle/length tips Something like this...

A couple of other tips: On my trim rams, the top most seals can be installed two ways. One way is correct and the other looks fine but will leak. This applies to seals that have a groove as opposed to a plain seal. The seal has to be installed with the groove facing down (into the cylinder so...

I rebuilt one of those units and by far it was the most painful repair I've done. You probably made the same mistake I did by damaging that valve when trying to separate the valve body. I had to drill/cut bolts. Parts are available (maybe) on boats.net Try this link...

Hmmmmm. What guage is showing the amount of oil? I am not familiar with that function. In any case, if there is an oil level, it would be for the remote tank ( the big one in the locker). The tank on the motor (called the Main oil tank) is generally always full or filling. On my oil tank for...

The manual says that if you have an electric toilet, the pumpout fitting is located on the starboard walkaround . If you have a manual toilet, apparently the pumpout is located on the port side walkaround

It may be a Jabsco, now part of the Xylem company. Here is a link to their parts finder. Perhaps you will see the model or part that you need. A photo probably would help but try this link https://www.jabscoshop.com/spare-parts/ Lots of model use the same parts.

I agree that light sanding will probably be needed in some areas, maybe all. There is also a decent chance that some damaged/gouged,etc spots will be found that need repair.Maybe blisters too. A barrier coat is a prudent move since soda blasting can also be quite aggressive depending on the...

Note that if you buy a new ECU, depending on your motor, you may have to get the boat to an authorized dealer to flash it and program in the old data such as engine hours. That will add cost and even time delay since dealers are pretty backed up with work. If you are convinced the ECU is bad...

The factory orig equip is a simple setup and appropriate for the boat. You don't need to go nuts with upgrades. I probably have said this 100 times but run on one battery. Alternate which battery that is but don't go nuts trying to use both equally. One approach is to use battery 1 on odd dates...

That motor isn't terribly sophisticated so I think that something doesn't like getting hot. One common source is vapor lock but I don't think based on your exact symptoms that is the problem. So that leaves spark. Unfortunately there are causes that can be quite hard to track down since they...

Not that it makes a ton of difference but there is more to the model number e.g C150TXRU or L150TXRU assuming its a 150 horse. My apologies, I am getting confused about symptoms, questions and answers due to the two similar posts. I may not be responding to the correct data for your case. I's...

I don't know what 2 beeps mean, sorry. It seems to me that when you try to start, the motor cranks over and seems like it wants to fire up but it doesn't and eventually after a few tries, the flywheel only moves a bit and then the alarm sounds. That could be a bad starter that is binding after...

And probably a waste of money at this point. Can you tell me the exact model of the motor? Is it the injected model or the carbed model?

Starting batteries are what the boat was originally equipped with and what the Yamaha service manual recommends.. Unless you have a lot of electrical load, they should work fine. Mine last me 7 seasons and I leave them in the boat during winter storage ( disconnected of course and fully charged...

When you say it won't turn over at all, clarify if it wont crank at all or cranks but doesn't fire up. What is the exact motor model and how many beeps in what pattern do you hear?

Arms are available but where to get one depends on what type you have. It is best to remove the old one and try to match it at a parts store that sells truck parts. You can also find them on Amazon. Try searching for ANCO stainless steel wiper arms. Here is an example of one of the more common...
