The NOCO Genius is a good product. Regarding location, although the unit is rated for 'wet' environments, a dry location should be selected. The cable lengths of the charger leads is six feet I f I remember correctly so keep that in mind. Finally you also need to plan on the AC connection...

It could be the tilt motor. If you unbolt the two from the pump at the relay you can connect them to a good ground and a good 12V feed. The polarity doesn't mater. One way will run the motor one way and the other way will run the motor in the opposite direction. Do this after you verify that the...

I do have an electronic copy of the Yamaha generic service manual for SX motors including your 200. The file is about 10 Mb and may or may not be emailable. It depends on your email sizing limits. Send me your email either on this forum ( everybody will know it!) or PM me with it.

I find the Seloc manuals to be decent and in some cases more detailed than the OEM manual. It probably not realistic to expect to find a 'new' 1998 service manual. That said, I may have an electronic version of the manual. If I find it, I will private message you to get your email address.

I think that brokers may not agree with your 'asking' price. It is in the range for that model and year but there are a few potential negatives. If a broker mentions these, I would have a better feeling that the broker knows what he or she is doing. To me without seeing the boat would be...

If the motor does not 'intermittently' crank over when started, I would think that the cables from the battery and switch are fine since the starter draws a lot more current than the trim pump. You could have a defective pump motor and The problem 2 years ago does not seem related to your...

Without knowing the prop specs, can't say what is likely. What motors are on the boat now? You should of least have information on current config and performance. In addition, what are you looking for e.g. speed hole shot, fuel economy etc?

A pivoting style bow roller makes it more likely that line will deploy when needed but that is for windlass applications. It doesn't really mater for manual deployment. The question about storage of the anchor when not used is important, If it will be left on the roller, you will need to provide...

You must have a marine store nearby I would think

The hair on my neck is up:)

this might fit...

Does anyone have any feedback on the ODB IScan diagnostic product? I am looking for something to work with 2020 F200 XCA . Apparently the Yamaha YDS software is not compatible with that model year. I would prefer something laptop based but haven't found anything that is reasonably priced both...

I think your mechanic needs to read the manual:) There is a difference between installing a new plug as opposed to reusing a plug. In the first case the washer does need to be crushed. The Yamaha manual states that the plugs should be hand tightened and then tightened 1/4 to 1/2 turn. The 1/2...

There are a lot of options out there. Here is one for example...

A compass is a critical piece of safety gear.

If you have a trailer where the bunk supports as well as support parts are welded to the frame, most likely the trailer was custom for a specific boat. Often times these trailers have the boat manufacturers name on the trailer itself. If your trailer has welded supports it is not worth it to try...

I don't think the OP is talking about or planning on having the rigging tubes empty and he is not talking about the motor rigging tubes but rather the PVC bilge tubes. It would be a ton of work to remove all the cables that are in the rigging tubes. I think (but not 100% sure) he just wants to...

If you fish in strong currents, assuming a sandy bottom, you need at least a scope of 7x. That said, if you don't have sufficient chain, your anchor may never set well. In general, adding chain to a setup that had insufficient chain will work out better than just adding a heavier anchor. A...

The paint issue is different than the weight issue. What is the problem with the weight? If setting the anchor is the problem or getting the anchor to stay set, you may need a different style ( depends mostly on the sea bottom type) or you may need more chain which in a some ways is like a...

You should pull both at the same time but don't tie both cable ends at the same point. Tie the pull line to one end, put some tape on it to help smooth helps smooth out the end and then tie/tape the second cable end at a point about a foot below tape the first cable. That will make a smaller...
