1999 yami 150 smoker multiple issues
a buddy sheared his impeller and triggered the overheat alarm a few weeks ago. the boat is ran 5-6 times a year and i rag on him for not using it enough or maintaining it properly. no hour meter, but i would say 100 hours.<br /><br />i had difficulty locating loctite 572 and after an email to loctite, i used 574 to reassemble the water pump and lower unit.<br /><br />at the ramp the telltale had a good stream, but at least on of the stats is stuck open. he wanted to go home, but stupid me said lets take it for a spin.<br /><br />he was driving and was not keeping an eye on the gages. she was not charging, started running like crap and died out in the main channel. a couple guys in a bass tourney came to our rescue, but i let them go catch one more and hit weight in before they towed us in. thanks guys. (by the way, the flywheel cover makes a great paddle.) i pulled the battery out of my boat after we returned to the barn, started it and she is not putting out any juice.<br /><br />all circuits looked good, so i am assuming the rectifier went south and should have the new one today. is the water cooled rectifier going the burn up without cooling water(?). i seemed like a diode shorted and sucked the bottom right out of the battery. i lost my meter, so this is a shot in the dark.<br /><br />now, my question is the 02 sensor. should the unit be cleaned with sea-foam or should i use the torch as the manual perscribes? she was running like crap, but the voltage was low.<br /><br />he bought some yami ring free, but would he better off using seafoam as a fuel additive.
