    I will check for cracks on the starboard toon for sure. But, the port side toon is holding air, so i'm sure it has no cracks. So if there are no cracks, is the water in the port toon just from condensation?????

    So, i decided to check my pontoons for water. I opened the two 3/4 inch caps on the top resr of each pontoon and stuck a wood dowel in. They each made a water mark about two inches high on the dowel. The boat is on the trailer and the bow is much higher than the stern. So, i put a siphon hose...

    Well, another update.... I got the toon about 95% done before the July 4th weekend. Took it out for a shakedown cruise and then brought it back home to finish things up and fix the issues found during the shakedown. First, the Yamaha 80 was idling too high to shift into reverse. Adjusted the...

    Need info on buying correct wiring harnesses

    I know what the pin colors are and what they go to. But i dont want to cut wires and put pins on if there is a sub-harness that simply snaps into place. My 704 control box has the wires shown above. Is there aYamaha harness that the pins on the ends of the wires go into that then allow those...

    Need info on buying correct wiring harnesses

    I bought a 1997 (?) Yamaha 80 3 cylinder, 2-stroke, that dos not have oil injection. Along with this motor came a 16' long 10 pin main harness, a 704 control box and an analog Yamaha brand tach and trim gauge. I know that the single 10 pin harness goes to the mating connector at the engine. I...

    Where are you located? I found some reasonable people that re-do pontoons in my area. I ended up doing mine myself, but I still have my list of resources.

    Yamaha 80 2 stroke no oil injection

    Well, I drove 8 hrs away and bought the 80 hp Yamaha 2stroke.

He bought the engine new in '98, but couldnt remember if it was a left...

    New (old) hard top pontoon owner

    Since I had never done that before, i wasn't sure how well I could bond 4 pieces together or if my finished product, if not perfect, would be a weak point anyway.... This pontoon will mostly be used to slowly cruise and fish, I think my solid oak transom will be OK for this season. Over the...

    Yamaha 80 2 stroke no oil injection

    I'm in USA. I guess I won't learn anything more about this motor until I get to Florida and see it in person. If there are other numbers on it, I'll run them to see what info they give me.
