Yes, sorry, forgot to mention. I got it from West Marine for the head specifically. I bet it is over 8 years old by now.

Just had the same issue with my Groco HF series manual pump. I ended up purchasing a whole new head, same model as it is a compact series and didn't want to fool with refit. Tested in the water, all good and pumped water. First time use, paper totally clogged up in the bronze pipe, before it...

Good decision, you will be impressed with it's performance! I know I am. ;)

I store my caulks in the refrigerator and get at least 6 months out of them. If not, like you said, rock hard in very short order.

I have this same problem with my 252G and also with the antennas. I made a 2x2 piece of lumber and drilled in the end to match up with the design of the knob on the light. I can unscrew the knob with the 2x2, lift the light up and then tighten with the 2x2. I also use this same 2x2 to break...

I got a quart on amazon. No carding or sniff testing!

All true what the others have said how to install. I did the recore on mine, I used the Pro Balsa with Epoxy and anywhere there was a bolt,screw, etc, is filled with epoxy to ensure no water to the balsa core. Turned out great.

For my 252G, I purchase the 3/4" thick foam exercise mats from Amazon and glue them together with Contact Cement. For me, I make it 1-1/2" thick, so double layer. That makes it about right for me and is great for shock absorbing. I taper the edges with a saw to reduce the trip hazard. I have...

I have a '92 model Sailfish with twin 2006 200 HPDI's. I can't imagine less power since we have really tough inlets and seas in my area and need the torque to push through. I love the instant take off and top speed. I just ran 45 miles back home this past weekend at 40mph with no problem. Top...

That just has to be photoshopped!

Seasick, you got me thinking a bit deeper. Got in a new set of plugs. I found a wire type gauge and checking the plugs, I discovered something I had not caught onto..... The side electrodes are not flat, the edge is curved so it aligns with the center electrode being in the shape of a cylinder...

Wow, maybe they are getting our normal NC weather! This Saturday might be the first time this year I can go offshore. Less than 3ft. Hope it stays....

I used a large plate of 1/2" aluminum under the deck which was easy to work with and not expensive as I got it from the scrap metal yard. Make sure you get a pulpit roller wide enough to allow the anchor and shackle to rotate when coming over the roller. When I added my wider than factory...

I am not sure I trust the Li-Ion's just yet. Also don't see how one battery has the stamina of 3 batteries for capacity. Also, check this video about Li-Ion batteries:

Hi seasick, actually, at times water does come in the cowl when waves come over the motors. Most likely that is where the saltwater dribbles down on the plugs. Unlike the OMC Seadrive I used to have, the Yamaha's don't have a baffle to keep water from dropping on the motors when it can come in...

Thanks Dennis, maybe I am on to something. Reason I change them is due to the corrosion on the plugs. I even coat them when replacing with corrosion sprays, but guess they get hot enough to burn it off and still corrode/rust. The plugs always have looked good and even burn on all cylinders. I...

Good point Seasick, I always wonder about the feeler gauge not reading right, but I always negotiate with my brain waves that if I can slide between the electode and tip with some resistance, I am good. However, angle is important. I haven't been able to find a wire gauge with the 1.5mm -1.6mm...

Not sure I get what is going on with your drain plug. My bracket has a pipe thread type plug. I purchased replacement Aluminum drain plugs that are tapered. I use 3M sealant (removable) to ensure they seal. I tried the PVC plug and another type harder plastic plug, but they just don't do well...

Thanks Dennis, I am not actually questioning them as I am OCD on plug gap so know they are right per my feeler gauge. Just wonder the difference in those motors that have the narrower gap vs the wider gap when I have to add more gap to them which seems is always the case. Do you find the same...

I was just thinking of some other item that could possibly cause a difference in the carbon buildup. Regarding spark plugs. I have been seeing some videos where folks just replace the plugs with factory gap setting and don't check them. I have always checked them and found them to be off per my...
