    2000 Bayliner Trophy

    I just saw an add for this type boat locally. I was wondering about their quality and specifically about what core material was used in transom, stringers and floor. From what little research I have done seems to say Greenwood plywood. Is this good? I've already restored 2 rotten transoms and...

    Pink Salmon

    I just read where a couple of Pink Salmon (Pacific species) have been caught here in Eastern Canada. Anybody have any experience catching these? Are they good eating? Do they get very big? A guy I know who lived in BC said these were considered the least desirable of the Pacific salmon species.

    Cool youtube channel

    Anyone enjoys looking at ruined engines being given a post mortem might find this channel interesting. For some reason I find it kind of addicting!

    Engine support while towing.

    Just wondering how people support a heavy OB on the transom while towing. My tow to the water is only short, 5 min., but I still cringe when I go over bumps and think of the motor bouncing on the transom. I have an F90 Yamaha. I just keep it at full up with the small lever down to take the...

    Gear oil drain screw

    Is the gear oil drain screw on an f90 easy to strip? I have it tightened a lot but can still get it a little more but I'm afraid to strip it.

    Can guage for trim be calibrated?

    Hi, I have a Yamaha f90 2016. The gauge up in the dash is a 6Y5T multifunction. The problem is the trim indicator on the gauge goes from full down to full up before the motor is even half way up. I have had it a couple of years and until now it always read full up regardless of motor position...

    Heat

    I'm sitting here in the afternoon on the couch because its too hot to go outside. For me thats 28C with 56% humidity. I don't know how you guys farther south survive those really hot days you get! Anything over 25C here and everyone is complaining about the heat!

    dirty tank

    Not really sure where to post this. I got stranded last week, ended up being a clogged inline fuel water separator/ fuel filter. No water but the gas I poured out was pretty cloudy with whitish flakes. I suspect varnish buildup in the built in tank. Whats the best way to clean out the tank? Is...

    Trout

    I’ve been trying to hone my skills at fly fishing this summer. I dug out an old inflatable fishing boat that I had years ago and a few patches and she was ready to go. I caught about 6 yesterday evening in a local lake. The biggest was 2 lb 10 oz. Here’s a picture

    ? Water in gear oil

    I changed the gear and motor oil on my f90 today. The motor oil was fine, but the gear oil had a very small white streak in otherwise clear oil. The oil was in her for 1 1/2 yrs. I'm wondering if this could be due to a little condensation in the lower unit or if there is def a leak? I'm planning...

    New dog

    Just got a new beagle off my brother today. He's 4 yrs old. He's outside now in the large enclosure I built for him, barking his head off. He is used to being with 3 other dogs and is now temporarily by himself. I'm getting another beagle pup in a couple of weeks to go with him. I think its...

    Vaping

    Not sure if this topic is allowed by the Moderators, but are there any vapors out there? I recently started to use them and I really like them. I used to smoke but quit 20 yrs ago, however I always missed having a smoke. Now I feel like I can smoke without the bad health effects. Any thoughts?

Anyway, on the way home this evening the motor seemed to stumble and stall out while under way. she started back up after a few tries both times...

    Fuel efficient!

    I can't believe how fuel efficient my new to me 2016 Yamaha f90 is! I've been out fishing 4-5 times on a tank of gas that was 3/4 full when I started. I still have 1/2 a tank in her left. Granted the distance isn't real far 3-4 miles, but I leave her idling the whole time out and there is a lot...

We haven't had enough snow yet this year to be worth talking about and its always melted again in a few days. Ponds are partially open too. Not really complaining mind you, not a...
