    Fuel tank size -2004 Crest 25' Tritoon

    I recently bought a 2004 Crest Caribbean tritoon and can't seem to find an information plate on the fuel tank as to what size it is. The tank sits down kind of in the back of the center toon (the very back of the toon has something called a tapertoon, the bottom of which tapers down to basically...

    Questions about replacing a 1997 Yamaha with 2004 Yamaha

    I am looking to repower my boat. I currently have a 1997 Yamaha 50Hp (T50TLRV) and have found a 2004 Yamaha 4-stroke 115 that I'm considering buying. Are the controls that I currently have compatible? What years would be compatible (in case I find others)? Also, Is the replacement process...

    Re-powering question

    I have been considering re-powering my pontoon boat from a 1997 50hp Yamaha to a newer model 115hp Yamaha (probably used) and would like to handle the mounting myself. My question is: as long as the shaft length is the same as the existing, how hard is mounting the motor as far as positioning...

Temp still gets really high and trips the overheat sensor (tested that, too; it seems to be working within spec)...

    Causes of tach reading different on 1 cylinder?

    I recently posted about my 1997 Yamaha T50TLRV (4cyl, 4 stroke) losing RPM (from around 5000 down to around 4000) after it was running awhile for a few minutes. I synched the carbs and went through most of the adjustments noted in the service manual in the fuel system. I took it out today, and...

    Sudden RPM drop

    My 1997 50 hp 4-stroke Yamaha (T50TLRV) has shown some odd behavior the last 2 times I tried taking it out. It ran just fine for the first 5 to 10 minutes, then the RPMs dropped suddenly from near 5000 to 4000 and will not go past 4000. The first time it happened, I thought it may be bad gas or...
