On the 150SX there is no gasket. I suspect the 175 is the same. Above that area in the midsection there is a rubber gasket that seals the muffler. That is probably the part you bought.

I don't understand. You originally stated that you couldn't go fast and now state that the motor can be reved and you can take off at full throttle. I am not sure what your problem is but if you are going to replace the cables, two pieces of advice. When you pull the old cables out. tie a small...

An estimate on how far the throttle cable should move when the control is moved from neutral to the extreme end is about 1 to 2 inches. Do a test with the shift overide enabled ( the button on the helm control that allows the throttle to be activated without the shift function You didn't...

I think you will be OK. The key thing to watch out for is excessive trany temps. Note that the towing capacity of your vehicle is reduced by any gear/tools etc and passengers in the truck. At least at first, keep your speed at a reasonable rate until you learn how the load handles, especially...

What is a Grady White Warranty Repair Service and who does that ?

First check the attachment points at the motor where the cable sheaths are fixed. In addition check that the shift rod is turning when the controll is moved. If the motor is not running, do not force the shifter into gear if it is hard to move. Have somone rotate the prop while another person...

The problem with that test is that it detects more serious rot or delamination issues and not just early moisture.\ intrusion that could lead to bigger problems. Some moisture is common and not an issue to loose sleep about. Sometime all that needs to be done is rebed a fitting , mounting bolts...

I did mine on myotherboat two years ago. I didn't have to replace bearing just seals and a good cleaning of the check valves. The job was OK, but as mentioned, take photos of parts and which direction they should face. I have noticed that if I top off the level and do not leave about 1/2" of...

The Yamaha precision oil system when correctly adjusted uses a ratio of about 100:1 or more at slow loads and speeds and increases that to maybe 40:1 at WOT so your answer depends on how hard you are running. Those ratios are per engine.

I don't think all those symptoms are related to a dead battery. They may have something to do with a problem in the battery wiring

'Some moisture' doesn't tell us much. If you had a survey ( and if you didn't you may be making a big mistake), Were moisture readings taken and recorded or are you suspecting that some spots are wet? As to 3 to 5 seas, the boat should do fine but can you tolerate 3-5s?

Are you trying to start an argument:)

If you have an anti-siphon valve on the tank, the gas won't siphon. You really need a fuel pump and even then, it can take a long time to pump out a tank through that hose. If someone wants to get 5 or 10 gallons, it's hard to stop them.

In your earlier post you mentioned that a battery was incorrectly wired and you noticed bubbling on a prop. So, user error, not a bonding issue. Don't confuse shore neutral wiring with shore ground wiring. They are not the same thing. I suspect that your issue of uneven wear on the motor zincs...

You might want to try to siphon gas out first. On many boats, it is very difficult if not impossible to get a hose into the tank.

Most marine supply stores will have the o-rings. Check your old plates first though. hey can dry out and get brittle. New plates are not all that expensive and easy to replace ( do not use 5200:))

If your tow vehicle suspension is up to snuff and the vehicle has appropriate tow capacity, the most probably reason for fishtailing is too little tongue weight caused by the load being too far back on the trailer. If you can't move the winch post and bow bumper forward, your trailer may be the...

Accident were up last year according to BoatUS. The main reasons are many new boaters and the fact that on average there are more folks on a vessel (take the family and friends out) More claims, higher premiums.

I use Progressive and they have been good over the years and their rates were better than GEICO and Boat/US. The premiums go up every year mostly due to claims from all the weather related disasters, not necessarily yours just in general and not just boating related. One other factor some if...

Although not super accurate, assuming the main tank is 92 gallons, measure its length and them measure the length of the aux tank. Approximations will be close enough. Take the ratio of the aux tank length to the main tank length and multiply that by 92. That will be a rough estimate of the aux...
