Yammie always have a two-wire power (starter) cable. They peel them apart to go to switch or battery. If you follow the +12 wire (has a stripe) back toward the motor you will find it attached to the -12 wire.

Can't help with the DF250s. Different gear ratio than my DF200s. There was a guy with them but his posts are gone. I can say that the 265 is heavy and wide. Don't fall into a trap with the " max" RPM and speed. You will need some uummph. Don't get propped for cruising to the sand bar in the...

I pulled the fuse... I put thousands of offshore miles in all conditions without using them. They can HURT when you use them. They can hurt when you set them for one condition (ie too much weight on one side) and then turn the boat....OR SOMEONE MOVES.... They can hurt when they are down and...

I'm gassed up and I think I will get out Friday. Need a crew.... Really want to go Thursday but have to work morning. Hudson on fire with yft early am chunk bite. AP Triple wreck area is hot & cold. Seaside/shipping lanes bft is sporadic. My buddy saw very large BFT crushing bunker...

Every September these tiny weakfish cover the bottom from Sea Girt down to Mantoloking. They never come back as big ones in any numbers

Get fly-by-wire / "digital" motors. its the 2020s...don't look back.... Zuke DF150APs or DF200APs.. I think the 150s will do fine on that hull. If you wre sticking with just Lake Champlaigne I would even think single DF350AP duoprop.

I stick with the OEM zuke 16510-96J10 $15.65 on Boats.net Its a good price for that OEM filter ($18 list Suzuki price) and I buy other things so shipping is free. Oil filters can have the same thread and dimension but not be the same bypass pressure, flow rate and microns. I can live with 2 x...

The filter gets done when on blocks over winter on the next oil change Suzuki filter Replace schedule is 200 hours or 12 months. No need to pull boat for 100 hour oil change.

Time for the hundred hour oil change in water midseason. Just hit 830hrs. The oil change pump works perfectly. I found this brand of full synthetic 10W-40 on Amazon $36 for 4 L I really like the built-in funnel on each bottle it’s genius

EVery three years because you need to take the LU off every three years to ensure it isnt stuck forever. Its called "maintenance". change it because it is not broke yet. Learn to do it. its not that hard. you own a boat.

You could open up the sender hole, use a transfer pump to take fuel of the top of the main tank and put it in the aux tank. Get down to the crud level and pump it off the bottom into portable tank to dispose.

Its hardtop leg bolts. Yes remove bolts, liberally apply a tough sealant like 4200...not 5200

Tried shipping lanes early. Just false albacore. Ran the Glory pots for mahi. There were a lot of small ones and they weren’t cooperating much. Then we got this 55” wahoo! Hit a daisy chain of metal/mylar jetheads with a trailing squd strip. Crazy fast fish. Luckily didn’t get bit off. On...

IMO any splice should be under the hardtop or at least weatherproofed. There are antennas available now that "plug in" inside the ferrule making an exposed splice unnecessary

IMO that is BS

"intermittent surge in RPM and loss in power, Reducing RPM stops the slipping, and you can slowly increase power, It's worse with more weight on the boat." Does sound like hub. Other than hub, I would say bad barnacles on hull preventing planing ...transducer...zincs on tabs spinning... "It...

thats the way to stuff a 265 fishbox!

he's talking about running motors not flushing them. The flush port is not intended to run the motor. The flush port does not test that the pump works at getting water thru the motor. To run the motor, the Yamaha hot tub always works. Aside from that, you can use the flush port AND ears using...

Make sure your e127 is capable of displaying and has menus for chirp and sidescan before committing to external box you can’t use You might be better off to get new mfd with built in sonar

I opted for Gumby suits instead of a raft. But I only need 4. Thought process is that the water is friggin cold and you probably ain't getting in the raft dry. Suits don't need inspection and repack. 4 suits are $1200 once. They do take more space than a raft bag
