    704 Binnacle Control Trim Not Working

    I was just noticing that. It seems they all say they fit a 704 but I'll try and find a part number to reference.

    704 Binnacle Control Trim Not Working

    Ohhh I definitely didn't know that. Every wire under my dash is a bullet connector so I assumed the plug on the 704 pictures I saw was a revision of that setup. I'll go ahead and order a new switch. Thank you very much

    704 Binnacle Control Trim Not Working

    This is an old 704 binnacle, that has individual leads instead of a plug for the harness, and it has decided it no longer wants to trim up. I can swap the green and blue leads in the harness and use the toggle in the down position to trim the engine up. I think this means the fault is in the...

    Yamaha 200ETXN Surging Idle

    I cross-referenced the part numbers through yamaha parts diagrams and those cm61-30 coils are indeed wrong for this engine. I'm going to get a new multimeter and adapter tomorrow while I wait on a manual.

    Yamaha 200ETXN Surging Idle

    I'll go ahead and order a manual as well just to add to the library. One odd thing I'm seeing is that the two problem coils are CM61-30 and the other four that are working are CM61-26. It looks like the guy before me replaced two dead coils with some from a 50 to 70 horse Yamaha. They are very...

    Yamaha 200ETXN Surging Idle

    I'll go pick up a dva adapter tomorrow after work. I'm not sure if I'm on the right track, but I tested spark using an induction timing light. On every trigger wire I was seeing a pulse however I was not getting a pulse on the plug wire for the two problem coils. I guess testing with the dva...

    Yamaha 200ETXN Surging Idle

    Spark test done. I am seeing no spark from the top or middle cylinders on the port side. Getting out the multi meter and clamps to see if I have any current going into the coils. I would much rather replace coils than a cdi. Edit: I was wrong about no spark. I do get intermittent spark on those...

    Yamaha 200ETXN Surging Idle

    Compression across all six cylinders is about 105 on my gauge plus or minus 2 psi. The oil injection has been disabled and unhooked. I'll run a spark test and get back to you.

    It's a 1984 two stroke with three 2 barrel carbs.

    Yamaha 200ETXN Surging Idle

    Hey fellas, I hope yall are having a great fall so far. This is the first time I have actually run this engine in the water after it sat for quite some time. When at idle I am hearing audible spikes in rpm and its not running at full potential. If I mat it then it falls on its face and did...

    Volvo Penta SX Prop ID

    I like the way you think. I think I would love to have a pulling 4 blade in a 19" flavor and then a 3 blade 23" for speed when I just want to go play around.

    Volvo Penta SX Prop ID

    I'm assuming they would be the same profile as it would be a vp factory prop, but 20 years is a long time for advancement. If I can pick one up for a song all have to run some time tests.

    Volvo Penta SX Prop ID

    I'm sorry for all the questions but I'm trying to learn from yall. What benefits would I see if I picked up a VP 21 pitch with an extra 1/2" of diameter? Seems like a lot of people are selling off their, much newer than mine, stock units for next to nothing.

    Volvo Penta SX Prop ID

    I'm not sure I'll gain much from a four blade as far as blow out is concerned. I don't really have that issue but being able to plane and stay there easily around sub 25 mph would make me very happy.

    SX-A, what does a bad gimbal feel like when inspecting?

    No biggie. You will get more apt help if you start your own thread.

    07 5.0GL WOT Issue

    I guess it would be. Didn't know if you had a doghouse, sundeck, or something else. I just used a multi direction spray bottle after removing the flame arrestor. I would listen to Scott's leads. He has forgotten more than I know.

    Volvo Penta SX Prop ID

    It seems I may be about to wade into some deep waters. Lol I suppose I better start cruising the ebay listings to see what I can find. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything to me like that too btw. Just a side note but will a merc prop with a 15 spline hub work on an sx? I...

    Volvo Penta SX Prop ID

    Did you notice any real loss in the top end after dropping pitch and going 4 blade? I really wouldn't mind the extra low end when I have 6 head and a couple of coolers on board if it means I can still top out around 45 mph.

    Volvo Penta SX Prop ID

    I think it's just showing it's 24 years of age. The rust is only on the surface and can be taken off easily... I should probably do something about it sooner rather than later though.
