    225 EFI (XLEFI) Spark Problem? Alarms

    2000 225 XLEFI serial number 0T161791, new to me, sitting on a Champion 21'7" bay boat. Sweet rig, and all seemed to check out so I bought it a couple weeks ago. Took it out several times and all was well. Wife and I thought we heard an intermittent alarm several times while cruising, but wasn't...

    2003 Yamaha 115 Oil not pumping

    I am rebuilding an Xpress center console boat with a 2003 Yamaha 115 2 stroke. At some point during the rebuild the oil stopped pumping from the large remote reservoir to the small engine mounted reservoir. The cables seem to still be hooked up correctly and the engine is definitely getting...

    Custom Leaning Post for Alum CC Jon Boat

    I'm looking for some advice on building a leaning post similar to either of the two pictures I have posted. I am somewhat handy with fab work and can weld aluminum, but I lack free time and also don't have tube benders for bending the frame. I was wondering if anyone knows where I could purchase...

    Which gear is forward/ reverse? 6 or 3 grooves

    I'm looking to order a new reverse gear for my 2004 90TLRC. The parts diagram just has "gear 1" and "gear 2" listed and I don't know which is which. When I look at the gear pictures online I can see that one has 3 grooves for the clutch dog and one has 6 grooves for the clutch dog. Does anyone...

    Prop clicks in Neutral...90TLRC

    I randomly was spinning my prop by hand the other day on my 2004 yamaha 90tlrc and notice that it "clicks" when its spun in either direction. I pulled the lower unit off, and attempted to adjust it by hand. When I shift the lower unit into neutral there is a sweet spot that I can hold the shaft...

    Yamaha 90 Gears grinding

    I have a 90hp 2004 yamaha that is acting up. Whenever I shift into reverse it kind of grinds and sometimes doesn't engage all the way. Forward works just fine. Also, while in neutral (engine turned off) I can spin the prop freely with my hand but it also makes a grinding noise too like the teeth...

    Garmin GPSMAP 430 weird shorting problem

    My GPSMAP 430 is having a weird problem. It frequently won't start up until the boat is underway. It will act like its dead and won't turn on, even after i crank the motor, but then after a few minutes underway it all of a sudden works. What could possibly be the problem? I have two new trolling...

    Best Repair Manual?

    I'm looking for a good yamaha outboard repair manual for my 2004 90hp 2-stroke. Been looking at typical Clymer/Seloc manuals but I found some no name manuals on CD on eBay. Just wondering if anyone tried these ebay repair manual brands.

    Installed a Fold Away Trailer Tongue (for those considering)

    Finally installed the Fulton Fold Away Trailer tongue hinge on my boat so it will fit in the garage. Its a very very solid hinge and I have no worries about it on the road. Install was pretty straightforward, but takes a while to get all 16 1/2 bolts drilled and tightened. Its also not very easy...

    Stupid Clearance Light Problem

    I've obviously got some kind of ground issue with my clearance lights. Everytime I wire them up to the brown trailer wires on each side of my boat trailer it blows a fuse and only the break lights work. When I disconnect the clearance lights completely, and then replace the fuse, the running...

    Grounding a permanent fuel tank

    Hi, I'm installing a new moeller permanent (plastic) fuel tank under the back aluminum deck of my aluminum boat. I know I need to ground the tank as to prevent static electricity build up, but I'm wondering where appropriate grounding sites would be? I also have to hookup my fuel sender negative...

    Cracked Lower Unit Yamaha 90

    I hit an unseen underwater object this morning at full speed and cracked my lower unit at the skeg almost all the way to the cavitation plate on both sides. Prop is fine and the engine still works great. I idled all the way back to the boat launch but could've run wide open. I'm assuming...

    G3 Gator Tough Jon model deck storage

    I have a 2004 g3 1860 center console. Unlike the new models, it does not have the extension on the front deck with the two large storage compartments. I would like to add something like this to my boat so i can have a larger deck and also actually have some storage space in the boat. I talked...

    Yamaha 90 Oil leaking (from sensor cap?)

    I have a 2004 Yamaha 90TLRC motor thats leaking oil from the actual oil reservoir. There is a filler cap at the top of the reservoir, and then there's some sort of other cap or plug a little bit lower and off to the side of the reservoir. This second cap has electrical wires running to it (i...
