I believe the motor is a 2006 but not sure. Boat sat for a year did not stabilize the fuel went to use last year had rough idle and would bog down under load and would not go fast. Boat sat for another 8 months untouched same fuel.
Fast forward now: I assumed it was a fuel problem and the VST...
Trying to figure out the correct shift rod height for my motor. I had to change out my O rings on my shift rod. My manual is one for multiple engines and I cant seem to know which engine I have, is it 60 deg or 90 degree? is it loop or crossflow? I know from my model number the motor is a 20...
Its very hard to shift in fwd reverse or neutral, its kind of stuck in neutral. I removed shift cables and cables shift freely. I tried to shift linkages on motor going to lower unit and it wont shift, even trying with big pliers, something seems to be stuck in lower unit. I have not pulled...
LM318 with log style manifolds. Current manifold set up is OSC826 manifolds, 689 riser, 794 elbow. Most of the set ups I have seen block flow between manifold and riser. Then the riser/elbow are salt water cooled. Is it possible to block flow between the riser/elbow making the riser also...
When I start my motor the idle will be high. I adjusted the idle cable at the engine so the stop bolt is bottomed on the cam. If I rev the throttle or put in gear and go fast when I go back to neutral it will be idiling high again. If I pull off the engine cover and push the cam back down it...
I have a 1999 F100 on an engine stand, I dont have controls with the engine. How can I start it up on an engine stand? I have a remote starting switch just not sure what I need to jump, wire, etc....
Thanks
I just purchased a 2002 172 blackwater without a motor. I see most of them have a 90hp. Does anybody have a 115hp on one? I read it can take up to a 115hp engine. My kids are getting bigger and trying to pull a skier with a couple people in the boat I want all the motor i can for the boat...
Hello,
I have a 22 shamrock boat with a stock PCM 5.7 liter throttle body injected motor (S/N of motor SLL PRL10 TBI). I believe the motor is a 1996, and has a MEFI 2 ECM. I have attached a picture of the ECM, not sure if this ECM is original I have only had the boat a year. I have been...
Whats the best way to remove the motor, is there a place to thread in any hooks inside the motor? I have a rather large tree branch that I use to pull engines and a 2 ton chain fall. I am just not sure the best way to strap the engine for lifting. I plan on placing it on a pallet in the back...
I just bought a 17' proline with a 1999 yamaha 115 OB. The motoor is a long shaft and the boat is suppose to have a short shaft engine. The guy did a really nice job building the extension bracket, See pictures.
My problem is the boat seems to bounch up and down when cruising. I have the...
I have a 1999 115hp TXRY. I called yamaha because i could not find my model number in that year and I was told I need to use year 2000 when looking up parts.
I am having carb problems and might have to buy other ones. My carbs say on them:
Top= 6e515 (small S) 621400-D81 (small P) 9Y01B...
I just purchased a boat with a 1999 Yamaha 115 TXRT V4. The boat sat for 2 years and has not been run. I put fresh gas in it and can't get it started. I assume the carbs are clogged up with gummed fuel but I figured I would check here first for opinions. I am going to check for spark first...
1999 3.0 GS PWTR. Both my starter bolts sheared off and were laying in the bilge. I read all the info on the starter issue and plan on fabricating the bracket for the back of the starter. I want to verify what length both starter bolts are suppose to be as I think one of mine is too long...
1998 3.0GS PWTR. I noticed the boat has a hesitation when punching the throttle. If you are going slow and go to pull up a skier or something it will hesitate/sputter for about 3-4 seconds then it takes off and runs fine.
This is what I have done to try to solve this problem:
1. I bought a...
