    Impeler replacement 1990 9.9 LD Yamaha

    I plan to replace the impeller on my recently purchased 1990 9.9 LD. I see on this site a replacement impeller 18-3074, however I do not see a "kit" which would include any gaskets and perhaps a key if one is used. Anyone know if this engine has one or more gaskets that should be replaced on...

    Mounting Trailer Winch

    I purchased a new Reese 1,500 pound Trailer Winch and on mounting it on my existing boat trailer I find the Winch sits a little lower that the old one. This is because of the need to find two holes aligned for mounting, or drilling a new one. In any case the Winch could not be more than about...

    Yahama post on "non - repair discussion" forum Older 9.9 HP 2-Cycle Outboard

    Yahama post on "non - repair discussion" forum Older 9.9 HP 2-Cycle Outboard I put a post on the "non-repair discussions" forum with pictures of my recently purchased older Yamaha 9.9 HP. It has a couple of questions on the first reply (and only reply so far) by me where I add two additional...

    Pics of Like New Circa 1995 Yamaha 9.9

    Re: Pics of Like New Circa 1995 Yamaha 9.9 I decided to add the two additional pics of the lower unit in a reply. The first shows a close up of the "wash" and "oil level" plugs. There are two small open holes near the leading edge of the lower unit, is that the intake for cooling water...

    Pics of Like New Circa 1995 Yamaha 9.9

    I upload here as the issue is not specific to Yamaha. I can upload there too, or make a post pointing to this one. I have not yet determined the year of this engine, the ID Plate shows a Model, Code, and Serial number, but no date. I tried to upload two more pictures of the lower unit where I...

    How hot doesw a 9.9 HP 2 cycle engine get at cylinder heads?

    I have a 9.9 HP and I am not sure the engine is getting proper cooling. I have ran it for short times in a lake with water temps around 60 degrees and find when I remove the engine cowling I can touch the engine block and even the heads and they do not feel hot. Does this mean/prove the...

    Tie down of 17' Grumman Standard Aluminum Canoe

    My long owned 17' foot Grumman aluminum canoe has always been carried on a small SUV with a factory root rack. I have never had a problem with using that transport with the canoe tied down front and rear... maybe a rope over the top of the canoe tied to the anchored roof rack. I no longer...

    Fuel - Oil mix 100 : 1 ??

    I have purchased a used 9.9 HP Yamaha 2 Cycle Circa 1995. I can not find a user manual on the web but the web based user manual fo the 1998 engine prescribes a fuel/oil ration of 25:1 for break in, 100:1 thereafter. Going below 50:1 makes me uncomfortable, and here's why: I purchase a fishing...

    Where is the model numberr for a 9.9 HP 2 Cycle circa 1995

    I found an identification plate on the port side of the engine on the transom mounting bracket. It show: 682 L 386490 Where each group of numbers is in a "field" allocated on a horizontal line (one line). Th engine could be older than 1995, this is my guess. The shift lever is on the...

    Is there always a "pilot" hole (Pee hole) on 9.9 HP 2 cycle engines?

    First I will mention I have a 9.9 Evinrude and I got much good help here on an electronic ignition problem a couple of years back.. and I know where the cooling water intakes are and where the pilot hole is on that engine, and on the Johnson before that, but... I now have a Yamaha and, about...

    1995 (est) 9,9 HP Yamaha 2 Cycle - No Pilot hole water stream

    I thought I put a post up on this subject yesterday, seems not. Since I have downloaded a 1998 Yamaha 9.9 User manual, there was nothing available on anything older - I can see differences physically between my Yamaha and the 1998, still I assume from other experience I have with OMC outboards...

    I think the transom saver on my boat is not needed

    Last fall I purchased a second hand (at least twice removed) circa 1995 Discovery 14' fishing boat. I had discussed this on this group of forums last fall when I was looking for a replacement for my 1985 Grumman ProFisherman 14' that was damaged by the storm named Sandy that struck NJ last...

    Reducing hitch weight

    I purchased a used 14' boat and trailer. It has a 9.9 HP Yamaha outboard on the back (circa 1995) and has decking and other heavy items inside. The boat is an aluminum and made by Discovery (an offshoot of Grumman I believe - Discovery has been out of business for several years at this point)...

    Lowrance X67C sonar trouble shooting

    I obtained a Lowrance X67C color fish finder. The first problem is it will not turn on. I have held the Menu button down for a long "5 count", nothing happens. I have checked the 3 amp fuse and it checks okay. I'd like to be able to check for 12VDC at the connector to the unit. There are...

    Homeowner Personal Property coverage for boat parked on property - what's that about?

    As this forum is about restoring and insurance is a way to fund restoring I decided to post this here. I am happy to move the post to a better place if one is identified. I have already posted here about straightening a damaged aluminum fishing boat (14', very small) hit by hurricane Sandy...

    Evinrude 9.9 HP cover/hood - need a replacement

    I'm not sure what the name of the cover is that one can remove easily to access the engine itself. It serves the same purpose as a hood on a car only more like the hood and fenders. Anyway, Hurricane Sandy that hit NJ in late October put a large White Pine, multiple trunks, down on my tool/toy...

    1995 Yamaha 9.9 HP low hour, too low?

    I looked at a 9.9 hp Yamaha 2cycle outboard engine that is about 17 years old and is characterized by its owner as having only a few hours on it. It looks that way too, removing the engine cover shows a spotlessly clean engine. It didn't start on a few pulls, I didn't try more but plan to try to...

    Getting aluminum boat straightened

    I posted a related question earlier, but just noticed this forum topic...so I'll try to add to the help I have already gotten by bringing up the subject here. I have a 15' Grumman Pro-Fisherman boat set up like a "Bass Boat" for fresh water fishing. Is is constructed of aluminum and has the...

    One man canoe loader

    My wife no longer is able to help me handle our 17' Grumman aluminum standard canoe. I am considering buying a "one man loader" that connects to the towing receiver and allow one to connect one end of the boat to its "T" top and then to walk (rotate) the front end around to the front of the...

    Hurricane Sandy in NJ/USA tree damage to alluminum hull

    My circa 1985 Grumman ProFisherman 15.5" Aluminum fishing boat was hit by a parts of a large White Pine Tree that came down in hurricane Sandy that hit NJ about 11 days ago. I haven't completely dug the boat out yet but I can see the gunwale (heavy brace that runs around the top edge) on the...
