    Won't Crank

    Won't do nothing. I have a hot battery and the trim goes up and down. But, I can't get anything else. It must be either: Key switch, kill switch or the neutral switch. I started messing with it this afternoon, but it got dark on me. Would appreciate a sequence to find the culprit. Yamaha...

    2004 Yamaha 150 Two-Stroke Power Loss

    On a Seapro CV21, sits in the water, bought in 9/05. Run it about 2-3 times a month in winter to 8-10 in summer. Mostly short trips, idling in and out of channel, no more than 100-150 hours. I have not done any maintenance on the engine. Recently, I have noticed a lack of RPM's from the...

    SV2100CC Bilge Pump Problem

    After returning yesterday, I noticed the bilge pump was still running (in auto position). It's hard to get down there, so I just disconnected the entire power feed to console. Now, first question is: Is the float switch built into the pump? Is not where? And, how do you get to it?

    19' Sea Pro Engine Choice

    New boat purchase, either a 150 2 stroke Yamaha or a 115 4 stroke Yamaha. Recommended hp 115, max is 150. Price is $400 more for the 4 stroke. I am always a max hp guy, but fuel $ are scary. Any advice would help. Thanks

    Boats on the water

    I am looking for a new (used) boat that will sit on the water. I like 17-20' bay, CC's. Is there a hull someone would recommend (or avoid). It must be self-bailing. Thanks

    DT75 Fuel Problems

    The primer bulb never gets real hard. Have checked all connections, etc., no leaks. My in-line (clear) filter shows bubbles. The engine stalls at full throtle after about 30 seconds or so. Help, this is driving me crazy!

    Slowly Sinking

    I have a 16' fiberglass centerconsole that i s supposed to be self bailing. The tunnel has two 1/2" brass plugs. The deck has two scupper valves. It sits on the water. The weight of the motor (75 hp) causes the scupppers to be underwater. So, water leaks into the deck when I get in. Then it...

    Suzuki DT75

    Just bought this 16' boat and motor for $2500. Has been sitting up. The owner removed all oil injection. Starts OK (not great), idles a little rough, and won't do anything past 1/2 - 3/4 throttle. Since I thought I got a good deal, what should I do first?
