    Looking at a Suzuki '04 140 FS

    My friend is looking at an '04 Suzuki 140 four stroke. He has given me no serial numbers to go by and doesn't know the hours. From what he can gather, the motor was under used of anything. From appearance it looks to be in very good shape. I know this is not much to go on, but, can anyone...

    Any experience with a Honda 90hp FS?

    Hello: A friend is considering the purchase of a boat with a 1999 Honda 90 hp four stroke. He did not take note of the model number. He only knows one person with a Honda Four Stroke about this age, and he was not real happy with it. I was hoping I could get him some opinions, at least on...

    Yamaha F115 won't maintain WOT

    My Yamaha F115TXRA had the high pressure fuel pump replaced. It also had an issue of water in the fuel. Both the canister and the small filter were replaced and as much water removed from the gas tank as possible. Now it runs great up to about 2800 rpms. The throttle can be punched and it...

    F115 testing high pressure fuel pump

    Jack Plates

    I have never used or even seen jack plates in use. How much of a help can they be in crossing extremely shallow water? I was thinking they would be much more effective than trimming up the motor, which has the added disadvantage of pushing the transom dwn a little. Does the weight or offset...

    Lower unit chatter

    Excuse me if I am rehashing an old question. I did a search and didn't see this question discussed. I am running a '02 Yamaha F115. I have noticed a chattering noise that seems to come from the lower unit when in forward gear at idle speed. The slightest increase in rpms stops the noise. I...

    F115 Stock Fuel Filter

    I am running an '02 F115. I have been told that the 10 micron fuel filter mounted on the port side of the engine in not adequate and that I should have a cannister filter installed in the fuel line. I would like to keep things simple. I would like some advice from someone with practical...

    Bearing spun on the spindle

    I need some help with a couple of questions. I bought an old trailer for a boat I just built. The trailer had set in the weeds for about 8 years. When I removed the bearing, they were completely dry of grease and seized to the rases. I replaced the bearing and races, but I am concerned about...
