    Bad Spark plugs?

    Agreed, I had to order new plugs and they should arrive today. I will also will again be looking with greater detail at the fuel line. Although my primer bulb stays firm and full, I've read numerous stories online about blockages. I hope to try a test on the water tomorrow with new plugs and...

    Bad Spark plugs?

    I have been having trouble with my 2017 Yamaha 115 SHO unable to get anything above 3000-4000 RPMs. I have been trying to troubleshoot, and took out the spark plugs today. Can any experienced people advise how they look to you? Could a “bad” spark plug still look ok?

    Yamaha SHO shutters and shakes, no acceleration

    My only gauges and alarms are related to overheating, low oil, and battery volts. After doing some online research, other people have reported similar symptoms due to a clogged VST filter. Can anyone add any insight into this?

    Yamaha SHO shutters and shakes, no acceleration

    Hi gang....I'm at my wits end attempting to diagnose the problem. Looking for any advice. I will try to be brief: Engine: 2017 Yamaha 115 SHO (on a G3 Angler V17SF) Problem: It starts well and idles smoothly at all RPMs. I can put it in forward (or reverse) gear and cruise slowly with no...

    Considerations when adding tongue length

    I've found some information here, but not specifically what I require. My truck tailgate cannot open as it will hit the trailer winch post, therefore I would like to extend the tongue with maybe a swing hinge. What are the pro's & con's of lengthening the tongue? Do I need to move the trailer...
