    Continuous alarm in neutral - 2013 Yamaha T50

    Could be. The puzzling part is that it only happens in neutral. If it was an overheat problem, wouldn't happen while in gear? No, I don't have an IR gun but I just might pick one up.

    Continuous alarm in neutral - 2013 Yamaha T50

    Having a weird situation that I can't figure out. Every once in a while, I will get a continuous alarm if my T50 is idling in neutral for an extended period. This never happens in gear...even during prolonged running at very low RPM. Turn the key off and restart and it goes away. New...

    Prop ?? for the experts - Yamaha T50 / Dual Thrust vs Standard OEM prop performance

    I have a Yamaha T50 on my 22ft pontoon. The motor came with a standard 14X11X3 Yamaha OEM prop. Owners manual says that the WOT rpm range should be between 5000 and 6000. With this prop I was getting between 18 and 20 mph (GPS) at 5700 RPM. I recently purchased a new Yamaha "Dual Thrust"...

    Anyone famailiar with Yamaha's "Dual Thrust" props?

    I have a 2013 Yamaha T50LA on my pontoon. It came with the standard Yamaha 14x11 three blade prop (6E5-45954-00-00). I've been satisfied with the performance but thanks to an unseen rock at the sandbar this weekend I'm looking to re-prop and move this one to the "spare prop" position. Yamaha...

    1985 Evinrude 25 - vs - 2013 Etec 25

    I currently have a 1985 Evinrude 25 on my stripped down pontoon. Not a speed demon by any means, but I'm satisfied with the performance and I've never had a problem with it. Problem is, it's loud and it stinks. I have the opportunity to upgrade to a 2013 Etec 25 and was wondering if I can...

    1991 Force 35 hp (H0358F91A)

    1991 Force 35 hp (H0358F91A) I have the opportunity to buy the above motor, but know very little about Force Outboards. The motor appears to be in very good condition, the price seems reasonable to me. Can anyone tell me much about this motor? Are they decent motors? Reliable? Who made them...

    Question about hp ratings old -vs- new

    I have an older (1985) Evinrude 25 hp outboard on my small pontoon. It runs great and I'm satisfied with the performance but I don't like the noise and am thinking about getting a new 4 stroke. Long story short, I keep reading that they rated hp differently back then compared to how they rate...

    Toon Brite cleaner -vs- The Works Toilet Bowl Cleaner

    I have read numerous times on here that the active ingredient in The Works Toilet Bowl Cleaner (hydrochloric acid) is bad for aluminum and should never be used to clean pontoons. However, I just looked up the MSDS for Toon Brite pontoon cleaner and found that the active ingredient is...

    I'm stumped...water in tunes??

    Ok fellas, here's the question. Took my toon out of storage yesterday. While prepping it for the water, I decided to take the rear plugs(plastic) out of the toons to replace them. Long story short, when the seal was broken on the plugs, I had a good rush of air from both, indicating (at...

    To cover or not...

    We have a lot of pontoons on our lake and they run about 50/50 with full covers and just seat covers. I have both but to be honest, the full cover is a pain to put on and take off every time. Does the rain really hurt much (deck) as long as the seats and console are kept covered? Thanks
