    Racor vs, Yamaha 10 Micron Filter

    At the advice of my Yamaha mechanic, I am using the Yamaha 10 micron water separator filter instead of the Racor with the sight bowl. He gave me an explanation why the Yamaha was better but I do not remember what he said. All my buddies are using the Racor with the bowl but that filter looks...

    2002 250 OX66 Shifts Hard

    I had a thread a couple of months ago before I purchased this 23 foot Sailfish with the above engine. I am very satisfied so far but I want things in top condition since I will use the boat 30-40 miles out from the OBX. Everything is running OK but a couple of nagging complaints:<br /><br />1...

    Rodbolt or anyone else??

    I need a little advice. I am about to purchase a Sailfish 236 with a 2003 Yamaha 200HP ox-66 with 450 hours. The engine looks great. The guy fished the boat hard the past two years off the Georgia coast. He claims his closet trip was 38 miles and regularly went 45-60 miles out. He also...

    BF 115 Hour Meter

    I have about 115 hours on my BF 115 and the hour meter quit working. It is part of the tach guage. Is there anything I can do other than replacing the tach guage? If I do replace the guage, will the hours pick up where they left off or will they start at zero?<br /><br />HeadHunt

    What is the best wat to cut hole in console?

    I will be installing an Icom 402 VHF in my center console. I am planning on flush mounting it. I have the template for the hole cutout size. What is the best method for cutting the hole without chipping? Should I use a jig saw with fine tooth blade? High speed or low speed?<br /><br />Thanks

    Is My Merc. Blown

    I have a 1992 40 HP Mercury four cylinder that quit on me. I had a trusted mechanic do a compression test and it came out 110, 95, 125 and 115. He said the engine is not worth rebuilding. He also found a leak in the oil line so it more than likely ran without oil being injected. I have this...
