    vst question

    So I'm slowly narrowing down my problem. I think I ran out of gas or was very close to it and that might have been the original cause. I replaced the high pressure fuel pump and can hear it fire up on the first click of the ignition for 3 seconds. For some reason the gas is not getting to the...

    Yamaha f90 not priming on startup

    Hello I've got a problem that I'm trying to track down. I have a yamaha 4stroke f90 and had never had any issues until now. I was at idle and the motor quit. Trying to restart it only let the engine run a few seconds and then stop. It is not the primer bulb as the bulb remained hard. It may have...

    gas vent tube problem

    I'm having a problem which seems fairly common for older boat owners with different makes. As my boat got older I noticed that when I was filling up the boat it would sometimes overfill from the fill tube unless I would pump it slowly. Yesterday it would not even fill up all the way, it took...

    Fixing the hull from the Outside

    I'm currently looking at possibly buying a ocean catamaran (outboard powered) and it has some damage on the hull where the twin hulls are hitting the bottom of the rollers on the trailer. From what I can tell the fiberglass has split and water entered and damaged the foam underneath on one of...
