    Does anyone know what this plug is called ??

    Most common name is a body plug if its on a car ( they have heaps of them ) but I dunno what the outboard peeps would call it . You should be able to get one from an auto parts shop for a couple of bucks .:)

    Does Yamaha flush port/hose, flush 100% of motor?

    Yeah but some t/stats have a small bypass figured in there somehow and the t/stat is pretty much the last thing the water gets to . The t/stat doesnt make a perfect seal and will leak enough to purge any air out as the water gets pushed up thru the exhaust cover and the block and head...

    Spinning reels

    Does Yamaha flush port/hose, flush 100% of motor?

    Spinning reels

    Spinning reels

    Here in New Zealand we have Dada da daaa da ( trumpet fanfare ) Swivels . These are cunning little devices that stop the line twisting . I thoroughly recommend them.

    87 50HP VRO Evinrude - Could this be my problem?

    Yeah but , Im thinkin of all the guys I have seen that just dont know how to drive a meter to its best advantage , and all the good (ish ) looking meters that turned out to be crap.
