    Volvo Penta SX Prop ID

    I did. Seems like it is a vp original from what I could find. The only thing that had me wondering was that with that model number the only prop popping up was an aluminum model.

    Volvo Penta SX Prop ID

    This prop was on the boat when I got it and I just want to know what I have. The boat is a Sunbird 200 Corsair SL with a 4.3GL and a VP SX outlive. Thanks ahead of time guys.

    2000 BF90 Carb Starter Amp

    I am looking to add a fusible link to my positive battery cable but am not sure what size would be appropriate. Battery cable was damaged and thought this would be a good quick fix while I wait on a new one to come in. Thank ahead guys.

    Throttle and Timing Advance

    Thank you for the heads up. I'll work it a little in gear and see what happens.

    Throttle and Timing Advance

    I ended up spraying penetrating oil all over and worked it every day for about a week. So now it moves pretty freely.

    Throttle and Timing Advance

    I have an 86 yamaha 200 that sat neglected for years. I got it running but the timing would not advance when the throttle is applied (engine off). I took the linkage loose at the arm and saturated the timing assembly and got it moving, but not easily enough that it moves with the throttle. How...

    Pouring out fuel

    I just know my 200 did that last year and dirty carbs were the culprit in my situation.

    1986 Yamaha 200 Slow Starter

    The three down in the bottom of the starter that circle the shaft look as if the starter had been pulled apart before and forced back together rather than finessed.

    1986 Yamaha 200 Slow Starter

    Update: the cleaned starter spins up much faster and in turn so does the engine. Cold to running in under 10 seconds of actual cranking. Before it was taking at least 30. Thank yall for the guidance.

    Pouring out fuel

    Sounds like a float is stuck. Try running a double dose of Yamaha fuel treatment through it for 3 gallons in a separate tank and see if it's still dumping fuel. If it is a carb rebuild is in order.

    1986 Yamaha 200 Slow Starter

    I went ahead and pulled the starter apart and I am pretty sure this is the 86 original. The magnets are worn and the case is corroded. I cleaned it out and will be trying it tomorrow just out of curiosity but I am ordering a new one tonight.

    1986 Yamaha 200 Slow Starter

    Thank you Racer. This motor sat for a long time before I got it. I've had to replace fuel pumps, power pack, and rebuild the carbs. So I wouldn't be at all surprised if the starter was dragging due to corrosion. I'll post what I find when I open it up.

    1986 Yamaha 200 Slow Starter

    Hey Yall, I'm rehabbing an 86 Yamaha 200 and I am seeing hot battery wires and a slow starter that results in a no start situation. If I put a battery charger on in spins up faster and starts right up. Battery is new and so are the battery lugs so am I looking at bad cables or starter? Thank...

    1998 4.3GL VP SX Slipping

    Thank you so much for taking the time to send that pic my way. I will definitely be taking a closer look at tightening my whole linkage up.

    1998 4.3GL VP SX Slipping

    Thank for the info. If you have a picture of your setup I would love to see it. Mine slips right out at neutral once I pull the cotter pin so I'm hoping it is correct.

    1998 4.3GL VP SX Slipping

    I should have been more specific. I adjusted the gear select cable end. I really hope that solves it but I'm going to change the gear oil anyways just because. What are yall running? Straight 90 weight?

    1998 4.3GL VP SX Slipping

    So my boat was running great all day until I came off of plane and started high idling for 20ish minutes. Then I felt three bumps at irregular intervals over the course of a couple of minutes. I accelerated to 35mph and drove without incident for 30ish minutes until I made it home. I pulled...

    98 4.3 GL Fuel Pump Connector

    Just to update: new plug wired in and found my fuel pump was dragging so I replaced it too. Spent all afternoon on the water and everything went really well.
