    I have a 1999 Honda 130hp. After sitting for 1 week it starts right away. I cruise for 45 minutes, shut the engine off and immediately start the engine again and it starts right away. The boat sits for one hour, when I start the engine it take 15 seconds before it starts. This seems to be...

    Do Throwable Type IV PFD's Expire

    My son got a warning ticket on a Lake Murray in SC. The DNR officer said that the Jim-Buoy brand, model G-19 type IV throwable has a date stamped on it that is the expiration date. I assumed that is the date it was manufactured. The DNR officer said that a square seat cushion does not have a...

    F115 Water in Crankcase

    Bought a used Yamaha 2001 F115 last week with 430 hours. It looks to be in good shape. I changed the water pump impeller, oil & filter right away. After I ran 10 hours I noticed oil on the outside lower half of the engine. I checked the oil level and oil was coming out of the dipstick hole. I...

    Faria Fuel gauge on Scout 175 reads Full with ignition on

    When the key is turned to ignition the fuel guage shows full. The tank is not close to full of fuel. I tested the sending unit and it reads 32.4 ohms with the float all the way down and 30.8 ohms with the float all the way up. I assume the sending unit is ok. I bought a new Teleflex Morse fuel...

    Yamaha 100 Tensioner

    After the engine warms up and after crusing at about 4000 rpm for 10 or more minutes, I pull back to idle (in gear or out of gear)and hear a faint squeaking noise. I has been doing this for over one year and is getting no worse. The timing belt looks good to me. I was wondering if there is an...

    Yamaha 100hp 4 stroke just stops running 4200rpm

    My son was using the boat today. He called and said that the boat just cut off when he was crusing 4200rpm as if the keyswitch was turned off. The engine will not turn over at all and the tilt/trim will not move. He said that the bilge pump and the depth find still work. The safety lanyard is in...

    Yamaha F100 slowly drops by itself!

    I fished Saturday and the tilt/trim worked. On Sunday I noticed that the tilt indicator showed the engine was all the way down. I trimmed the engine up a few inches and within 30 seconds it went all the way down again. I does this running or sitting (engine on or off). I checked oil level and it...

    Outboard tilted position during winter

    If a boat is left in the lake in SC during the winter with the engine tilted up, is there any reason to worry about rain water getting in the foot through the prop and freezing? How cold would it have to be for the water to freeze? I have a Yamaha F100, 4 stroke if it matters.<br /><br />Thanks...

    Yamaha F100 oil pump replacement?

    I found an oil leak on my 1999 Yamaha 100 4 stroke. Drips about 1 - 2 ounces per week when tilted all the way up. The drip occurs just below the oil pump assembly at the oil seal where the drive shaft slides through the oil pump (yamaha part #67F-13300-00-00). Anyone replaced this part yet. Can...

Boat stays in the lake all summer and is used at least twice a week. Last week I noticed motor oil in the self...
