    Yamaha 70hp 2007 Clutch Dog assembly help

    I dont know this motor but if you google parts manuals they will often show an exploded view with lines and arrows and stuff to show the order of assembly . Other than that its likely that your model shares the gear case with other 70hp 04 05 yams regardless of the variant, maybe even the 50...

    Fish finders

    For throwing small ones back I use a 1.5m length of 125mm pvc drain pipe tied to the boat and hung over the side so its vertical in the water. Undersize fish are dropped into the top of the tube from where they swim out the bottom and live to grow. I cant see the point in returning the small...

    Throttle Only Button

    Does the throttle still work if you put in gear and throttle up ? If so the fault is in the control lever box. The throttle only will have a lock out to prevent you using throttle only when in gear , in all probability that lock out is your problem .🙂

    1969 85hp Evinrude charging system/ Over charging!

    You can buy a reg/ rect that will work on your motor for 20 bucks (NZ) off Temu .....not that you need one . But I think the reason your volt meter went high maybe there is no load on that circuit ....like it just stopped charging . Are all your electrical connections in good order ?

    Mercruiser 3.0 overheated, Is my motor shot?

    Or you could just man up and get the wife to put her finger over the plug hole while you turn the key 😁. Sounds like the valve in your compression tester is jammed open ,they look like a car tire valve ,maybe the centre core is bent .

    What is this connector and bracket? Fishfinder/GPS/etc.?

    Yeah but😁. If I measure the same thing with the same gauge and get a different reading each time not only do I not have precision but accuracy must also be bad . If I get the same wrong reading each time its precise but inaccurate? My range finder only displays yards or metres with no smaller...

    What is this connector and bracket? Fishfinder/GPS/etc.?

    I think that you can prove accuracy on most stuff by checking consistency . Check the same thing a few times and see if you get the same reading ,if you get good consistency it reasonably safe to assume the thing is telling the truth depth or distance wise (I just done this with my new...

    Mercruiser 3.0 overheated, Is my motor shot?

    Sounds like you got on it quickly , specially if the smoke was from the rubber exhaust bits. You dont really want to be pulling big bits off . Maybe the heads took a hit but if you pull them and see the bore aint so flash you'll wanna do them........can of worms Make sure the oil is ok , fix...
