    Christmas lights!

    Its that time of year again and i have to put up lights outdoors. Not my favorite chore! You would think someone would have come up with some kind of laser lights that reflect off eaves trough and look like lights without me on a ladder!

    Successful hunt (for my brother!)

    My brother got a small bull moose yesterday, I still haven't seen one. We split the meat so at least I'll get something. The quarters are hung in my garage so the boat is out in the rain and not happy!

    Fogging Engine (f90 efi)

    Hi, I'm just wondering if people fog their 4 stroke outboard for winter. I've been seeing videos where people run gas mixed with 2 stroke oil thru the motor until it smokes. Is this the standard pracrice?

    Yamaha corroded ground wire.

    Yesterday i had to be towed back to the slipway (oh the shame!). The motor just lost all power while idling. I checked wires and some fuses, no luck. Anyway when i got home and proceeded to see what was the problem the ground wire came clear of the battery with the connecter still on the...

    Hull Extention

    I'm sure people have done it but I'm just wondering how hard is it to extend the hull of a fiberglass boat about 3 or 4 feet? Would the cut/join always be a weak area? Would it fool up the hydrodynamics of the boat? I know people will say just sell and buy bigger but I have a lot of work put...

    Hunting

    Anyone planning on doing any hunting this fall? I have a moose licence for either sex this year and my brother has one for bull only. Hoping to get at least one out of two licences! It will probably be my brother because I have a tendency to miss. I use an old WW2 .303 british and just can't...

    Too windy?

    Just wondering what people consider too windy for boating. I know it depends on a lot of factors such as boat size and water body size, etc. Right now I'm not out fishing today and yesterday because of winds approx 30kms gusting to about 40/45km. It would be possible to go out in that wind but...

    Garmin stricker 4 plus issues

    Hi, does anyone use this fish finder? I am new to it and still learning how to use it. I'm having trouble getting it to "see" fish. I can see bait with it and have it set to show fish symbols instead of arches. The problem is it very rarely shows any fish symbols eventhough I know there is fish...

    Editing video

    Hi, does anybody know a good app for cutting out parts of videos and just keeping the good parts? I have some videos my wife took with her iphone of whales we had close to our boat. There are a lot of boring parts of just water with some good shots mixed in. I'd like to shorten it by cutting out...

    Yamaha digital guage not indicating trim

    Hi, I have a Yamaha f90 2016. It had a tiller handle when i bought it but I removed that and hooked up remote steering and 703 controls and digital RPM gauge. The guage is working fine except the trim indicator is just showing full up all the time. I checked the small arm and stop under the...

    Hi, I'm trying to hook up the guage but I can't find where the 4 pin wire plugs into the motor. Its a f90A 2016. The manual wasn't in the box with the guage.

    Sharing a berth

    Has anybody ever had to share a berth at a dock for the season. I just had to turn down a berth at my local dock because this year they decided to double up on the available berths to accomedate more people. I didn't like the idea of another boat always tied to mine and having to always be...

    Mounting bolts

    Hey everyone. I know this has likely been asked many times before but is there any good reason not to use galvanized bolts to mount the engine on the transom of my boat. I would have used stainless but I was having trouble finding the right size and there were lots of galvanized available so I...

    Hope outboard ain't too heavt

    I just put my 2016 F90 Yamaha outboard on the back of the Grew 194 I/O converion I'm working on. Man that motor looks big and heavy back there! I hope she isn't too heavy on the back end or too top heavy. The old L6 165 i took out weighed more but also sat lower and further ahead. I guess time...

    Ear plugs

    I was grinding off old paint off my boat today for about 1 1/2 hours and stupidly didn't use any ear protection. After I finished I could hardly hear a thing and the ringing in my ears is really loud. That was about 5 - 6 hours ago, my hearing is returning slowly but the ringing is still there...

    Primer bulb

    I have another OB question. When i hook the gas hose to the copper line coming from my tank, which is built into the bow, should I leave the primer bulb inline or just go with straight gas line from the copper to the engine with the clip to hook to the engine. If the gas line is always connected...

    Metal transom protector

    Do many people use a metal plate on their transom to protect it from the outboard? I see them a lot around here. Apparently they get them fabricated at local metal shops. Also saw online a rubber transom protector supposed to reduce vibration and noise. Is there a need for either?
