    Suzuki Df25ATS3 upgrade to 30HP Parts?

    Welcome to Iboats, That's a 2 or 4 stroke motor ? For a neat upgrade need to know which parts differs from the 25 HP model assuming both shares the same CC powerhead. Checking both HP Parts Manuals should indicate so. Some motor brands are cheaper to convert than others... Happy Boating

    Considering upgrading this season - prop exchange programs

    That boat should plane fast, +100 wot rpm exceeding max range it's nothing. For the prop pros : Would installing a higher pitch prop to rev at wot around middle rpm range decrease current 16% slippage when at cruising speed ? Happy Boating

    What pitch prop for Carolina Skiff J14 with Yamaha15 2 stoke?

    Now a days the prop selection for oldie motors has been highly increased. While there were only 3 pitches to choose from for say an Evi 96-15 HP motor now you have 8 and with an installed induction tach will be possible to dial their max wot rpm with the correct pitch. Doesn't matter if powering...

    Considering upgrading this season - prop exchange programs

    Why would you like to go for a prop maximization, not happy with current prop ? If wanting going that route need to state which HP motor, boat type, usual number of passengers on board, prop type, number of blades and max wot rpm achieved dialed with a tach as loaded on flat calm non wind water...

    Does the new (2015) Tohatsu 30hp 4Str use same parts as 2014 model?

    If not mistaken, Tohatsu manufactures Merc's 4 stroke motors up to 30 HP with their own color and logo. Which model motor are you going for a 30B or 30C ? A new motor well taken care off will give lots of boating fun years, why worry prematurely with both models spare parts. Happy Boating

    1990Yamaha 175 Steering Issue?

    As you have witnessed it's useless adding new whichever grease to an extremely seized steering shaft/swivel bracket assy. With motor sitting on a stand, remove both lower mounting brackets, pass a large metal tube through both lower shaft's orifices of equal diameter (2). Check if possible to...

    2 Stroke Yam 8B of Unknown Year.-

    Yamaha always states on their cowlings if being an Enduro motor. The difference between an Enduro and Standard ones is : more SS bolts, heavy duty water pump and probably a better crankcase metallurgy at a higher purchase price. The 2 spare black wires/connectors seen in second pic...

    This Combo is Good For ?

    This combo was severely salt water flooded while resting at my boating Club's patio due to La Niña coastal water conditions turning awful bad for several weeks in a row, tall waves appeared from nowhere and crashed into the patio. This particular combo got the worst water punishment ever...

    2 Stroke Yam 8B of Unknown Year.-

    Yep but this is the only obsolete 8B points and condenser model in the whole country. Without knowing DVA and Ohm readings factory stated won't know if such electrical components are good to go, altered or shot which in most cases are NLA or very scarce. Plan to send an email to Yam Japan and...

    2 Stroke Yam 8B of Unknown Year.-

    You can see the exciter or charge coil at right hand in third pic. Squirting WD-40 while the motor was siting fully horizontal for a nice night soak didn't increased a bit both mentioned compression values, the rope it's easy going when pulled. This motor has mechanical and electrical flaws...

    2 Stroke Yam 8B of Unknown Year.-

    Yep the Exciter Coils varies its name according to each manufacturer, charges the CD if having one, nope simple Yam 8B model. QBhoy, is it possible for you to get the requested tech data for a nice electrical troubleshooting ? Happy Boating

    2 Stroke Yam 8B of Unknown Year.-

    Trying to make such an oldie motor to work again as used to do in the good old days. It's a 2 cylinder point and condenser model with a non through exhaust prop. Need the electrical DVA output voltage parameters of the Exciter Coil and the Ohm data for the Exciter & Ignition Coil if someone has...

    Tree Shade Commercial Boaters.-

    We know about that tech issue which all boaters should go for. But with such underpowered 25 motor there's a huge water performance difference moving at slow pace as of now and at a fast displacement speed if correctly propped and motor is spot on transom height matched... Down here can't...

    Does the new (2015) Tohatsu 30hp 4Str use same parts as 2014 model?

    A 4 stroke 2009 motor calls for a MFS30B, MFS30C appeared in 2015. Would be interesting to know the parts difference if any between a 30B and a 30C. Paul being a 4 stroke man could shed a light on said topic. Still finding lots of spare parts availability for my 2 stroke 2003 motors.... Happy...

    What pitch prop for Carolina Skiff J14 with Yamaha15 2 stoke?

    During that boating era was out of this world to install a dial tach for small portable tiller motor use along little prop options to choose from. Moons back owned a 15 HP 2 stroke Evinrude 96 motor and there were only 3 props which were cataloged as : light, medium and heavy to go for depending...

    Does the new (2015) Tohatsu 30hp 4Str use same parts as 2014 model?

    Usually it's a small part mofication/update done on same HP model motor, for instance the MFS30 underwent 3 mods through the years, started with an ending A, followed by a B and now lattest C, the wot rpm range should vary a bit in between all 3 along other internal parts while maintaining same...
