    How to remove decals off the hull

    Whats the best way to remove the OEM decals off the hull of a 97 Yamaha? I usually use a razor scraper on really small decal jobs with no issues, but I think using the scraper would damage the finish. Anybody done this?

    Yamaha runs like a banshee then dies - "now it happens to me"

    After this weekend of giving this 97 Yamaha GP760 another tryout, I have experienced something new. I ran it on the trailer while in the water to assure my carb settings somewhat. After I felt good about them, I took off for a test ride. WOW!! She really zips down the lake and after about 15...

    97 Yam GP760 Fuel Warning light, fuel level, & beeper

    No matter if the fuel tank is full or not I get the red warning light, beeper, and the fuel level shows low. Do I check the sender first? If so, how do I do that, with an ohmeter? I'm thinking the sender is bad since it will do it on a full tank. My guess is that the tank was left over winter...

    Reconnecting Oil Pump on 97 Yam GP760

    Bought a new oil pump for this waverunner. Lines are clear - not blocked. Need to know the best way to get the oil feeding into the air intake. It obviously takes too long waiting for it to "climb" its way through the hoses up to the intake. My guess is to unhook each hose one at a time and...

    Replacing deck/foot pads on Yamaha GP760

    Need to tear off the old and put on the new Blacktip pads. What's the best substance to use in aiding with the tear off of the OEM pads and removing the old glue?

    Bad porposing problem on 97 Yamaha GP760 Waverunner

    Just bought this ride and no matter where I sit, it porposes terribly in the neutral trim position up to the high trim position.

    Anyone know how to set the time/clock on a 1997 Seadoo GTX? I've tried using the "SET" and "MODE" buttons on the handlebar with no luck. I'm probably not doing it right. Thanks for any help, - Frozenokie

    Tilt/Trim problem on 1998 175 FFI

    Just bought this boat and I have encountered this problem: While motor is in upper end of tilt and you hit the down button, the motor "hops" or "jerks" as it lowers. Doesn't do it every time but about half the time and only during down trimming the motor. Could it be low of fluid???

    Well, I've been sc***ed :mad: Bought what I thought was a 2000 model (according to the SN tag), but ended up with a 1995 block with 115HP carbs (1996/1997 51- series). So they "bent me over" twice in the same deal :mad: I rebuilt the block and discovered this after I've ran it on the lake...

    Suspected bad rod bearing - 2000 Merc 125HP

    Just found out that I have a "suspect" bad rod bearing in #3 after my visit to the mechanic. :( That cyl also has the lowest compression at 100. The #1 & 2 are at 120 and #4 is at 130. Could a bad rod bearing cause that? Is it possible to inspect and replace the rod bearings and crank without...

    Will control cables fit newer Mercury?

    I currently have a 1986 115HP Merc and am upgrading to a 2000 125HP Merc:) They both use the 8-pin harness, but do I need to buy new shift/throttle cables? Or will they also work on the newer motor?
