I did pull the impeller plate. No pieces in there. It is done now, and I tested it in a barrel and it seems fine. It 'pees' very strong now, and almost immediately after starting motor, whereas before it was several seconds before the stream started. Shifts fine. I'll be taking it to the lake...
Ok, one more question on this. As I said, this is 1988 ELG40. I have 'a' Yamaha outboard service manual that supposedly covers 1984-1996 2hp - 250hp. I downloaded this years ago, and I can't remember where from, but I 'thought' it was THE Yamaha published service manual. Anyway, The manual...
I've owned the boat for about 12 years. in that time, I've had the buzzer go off maybe 4 or 5 times. I shut the engine off immediately, and in a couple minutes, I start up and go and no buzzer. On the other hand, I'll trolled literally all day long many times, and it's never gone off. So...
Ok...so on to the next task. Finding and removing those pieces of impeller. So far I've tried
-back flushing from from the tell tale hose fitting on the exhaust cover
-back flushing from the thermostat housing(after removed thermostat and 'hoped' to find pieces there, but no luck :(
Then, I...
Well, I got it apart and it was the shift shaft. Unfortunately the old impeller(was the original, based on the bolts had no type of wrench marks etc), had two fins with chunks out :( So they are in the engine 'somewhere'
Aside from that, I have another weird thing now. THe impeller...
I'm almost 100% there are only 5 bolts here(but having never done this, I cannot be sure). I DO see what Boscoe99 is referring to in the parts schematic, but I think that '6th' bolt is the trim tab bolt, and I had removed that also. So 99yam40, I think maybe you got it. I do see this 'tube'...
I'm having a problem trying to remove the lower unit so I can change out the pump. Got all 5 bolts out and separated the lower unit. Problem is it only comes about an inch apart, and then it doesn't want to go any further. I've done some review in the service manual, and watched some videos of...
Ok...so I ordered the kit. Bolts are too big (mine are 1/2"). So like a dope I returned it, thinking it was wrong. I still can't reach anyone at EZ-loader, despite several emails and phone calls. Anyway.....
But I did find on their site that they recommend what appears to be the SAME bushings...
I have this trailer that came with a boat I purchased about 10 years ago. It's a C2 slipper/c-hook spring. I found a kit from ezloader 300-015973. I haven't taken anything apart yet, but I was just wondering if anyone has done this and is it really as it appears? The kit has two bolts, two steel...
