    Best value pre-made fiberglass filler alternative to making Fiberglass PB

    Yeah, from what I have read, its a bit dangerous but not that bad. I think its considered a cancer causing agent in California, but everything seems to be that in California. I just mixed it carefully in my garage and stirred it in slowly. Probably not the recommended procedure but for how often...

    Yeah, I foolishly grinded in my garage a few years ago and I'm still dealing with the dust!

    Yamaha F90 hose question

    I took a few pictures of my motor its an f90, 2016. Not sure if they are the same and have no clue what the hoses are for and I can't see where they go to, but as you can see the hose that comes straight out is the one that goes toward the front of the engine and the one that drops down goes...

    Is this a L drive or not?

    Yep, that can be done. I did the same a few years ago with my boat. Just realize what you are getting into, its a fair bit of work and money involved, depending on the condition of the transom and other structures. Some people say doing such a refit throws off the balance of the boat with the...

    Is this a L drive or not?

    What year is the boat? Don't let the cheap price suck you in. If the boat is old, you are likely looking at rot below the floor and in the transom. Not to mention a motor that doesn't work and a questionable drive. If you go for it, do it with eyes open and be prepared to spend thousands more to...

    Brake fluid

    Ok, I see what you are saying. It gets hat enough to boil while my foot is on the brake but actually vaporizes the minute I release the brake.

    Brake fluid

    Yes I can understand that, but how does it vaporize in a closed system when it has nowhere to expand to?

    Brake fluid

    I hear you, but when your foot is on the brake, it has to be closed thru the whole system or it wouldn't be able to pressurize. I can see the return circuit coming into play after you release the pedal.

    Brake fluid

    " Make no sense a t all Hydraulic systems are sealed and air free. How does fluid evaporate from a sealed system?" That was my thinking!

    Brake fluid

    I was more thinking about cars then trailers. I had read that a lot of newer cars call for dot4. I just don't see how a pressurized system like when brakes are applied, can boil and then cause lose of braking.

    Brake fluid

    Just curious, but I have read that dot4 brake fluid has a higher boiling point and thus helps prevent the fluid turning to steam in the lines and then compressing causing lose of braking. Is this right? Which leads to my question...how can a given volume of any liquid evaporate and then be...

    do Yamaha Outboards have a model year ?

    It must be older then 2005, as the production year is listed on the transom bracket starting in 2005. Before that the year was denoted by the last letter in the model #. Not sure if thats the k or the L in your case.

    60hp 4 stroke shuts down above 3000 rpm

    I once had a similar problem that turned out to simply be a kink in a flexible fuel line that was restricting gas flow but not entirely shutting it off. Rerouted the line and no problems since.

    Just bought new boat, trouble first time out. Please help.

    Maybe if you block the tell tail with some tape it will stay in there as air can't get in to replace the solution?
