I got the Garmin Chirp 9" screen model. The navigation is superb, super fast response time when zeroing in. I'm glad I got the 9" screen, it pays off big dividends when running split screen across many nautical miles of real estate to get to the fishing spot. Clarity is amazing, and screen...

Well, thanks gents. Much appreciated. Some high quality Italian extra virgin olive oil would probably do the job, too. :D

What weight gear oil do I need for my Saltwater Series II OX-66 engine? Can't find the "quick" answer book. Thanks.

Thanks, gents. I appreciate the comments, I am pretty sure which way to go with this. I learned a long time ago that there is really no such thing as a bad Garmin product. Maybe one that's just a bit dated.

Was wondering if any of you might be able to offer your opinions about the following Garmin products, both are combo fishfinder and GPS. Garmin 74sv 7" screen Garmin 95sv 9" screen. Neither are touchscreen, and I don't want fish slime all over the screen I am trying to view. They are both...

One other thing: In my humble opinion, it is a product that works so well that I don't see you could think about running a 2-stroke without it. When you take out your spark plugs, you will be amazed that there is absolutely no carbon on them.

What do you use to clean screens and small filters? Gumout? Carb cleaner? Seafoam? Thanks, gents.

Use it all the time. I love it, too. Most definitely worth the ugly price. Get super fast start ups in my 2-smoker OX-66. Also makes for a great cologne when you splash some on your face to go out for the evening. Seriously, I wouldn't run without it.

Can you run the engine with the garden hose attached to the built-in hose?

How do you do it??

Re: Yamaha V-6 225 Salt Water Series II, 1997 - Overheat Ala Well that was the situation in the fall ( before I replaced the t-stats and poppet valve ). I had a pisser, somewhat wimpy, with the mouse ears. The garden hose had enough force to push the water up the tube and make it look like...

Re: Yamaha V-6 225 Salt Water Series II, 1997 - Overheat Ala Yes, it overheated on idle after about 10 mins of run time while it was dockside. That was in 60 degree water. But a really good pisser now.

I put this out on the forum a few mos back, and got some tremendous help, thanks, gents. Last fall I replaced the water pump ( which was actually still in great shape ), replaced the thermostats and poppet valve. This past weekend I put her in the water, and fired her up, tied to the dock...

I know this is a boating forum. But for you guys who have a love for surf fishing in addition to your boat, you need to get out to the beach down there, particularly at the point. My son and I were down there last week, and it was fabulous. Most of the fish we saw caught were 40" and above...

A lot of the forum members like to use Shipyard Island Marina in Wisconsin. You may possibly be able to get parts a few dollars cheaper elsewhere, but you generally will get a discount. The guy to deal with is ANDY junior. In my case, I like dealing with Andy for a couple of reasons: 1...

To JBrinch88: I left it in neutral. It slid in easily with a little red grease. Actually, alot of red grease. I love that stuff for a lot of reasons.

What did you gents use to glue this monster gasket to the hood? I've heard suggestions of contact cement, black RTV, 3M 4200 sealant. Any suggestions from your experience? Thanks, gents. Hot Ajax

Poppet Valve Replaced, Shooting Lazer Beams Thanks for confirming what I thought it might be. New stats, too. She's dying to get fish slime on her now.

Location of Poppet Valve Here's where it is on this engine. Stand astern of the engine. Look at the bank of cylinders on the right. You will see it below the bottom cylinder. Diamond-shaped cover with two 10 mm bolts holding it in. There's a 3/4' hose attached to it, coming in from the...
