    12.5 ft Bris Inflatable steering & throttle options

    Yeah but with that steering system will need a firm seat that doesn't rock to sit on and drive comfy, will tire your back on long water trips. Anyway will need to install the appropriate remote cables length and associated hardware along a costly Tohatsu remote box. A rear seat/locker with an...

    Merc's 150 HP 2 Stroke EFI Motor.-

    The Merc's dealer is a very small business, only sells new motors and doubt will have the required tools to check that out with motors not being sold by them, there's many oldie high HP Evi and Merc motors stranded with several technical issues that won't see summer waters any time soon due to...

    Unable to start and no water out the telltale

    The horizontal screw with an attached spring set 2.5 turns from fully seated should be the air/fuel mixture screw. Sorry, sold moons back my Evi 15 motor to have a look, if remember right the slow idle/ralenti rpm is adjusted by means of the throttle grip, try to find a Service Manual, specifies...

    2000 Yamaha 9.9 2 stroke won't start

    Hey FB what have you been smoking lately that makes you think you always have the correct response to my posts? My posted pic was just a visual comparison between both crakshafts and how they should look if the motor is well cared for. The issue with negacionist boaters is that usually fly...

    Unable to start and no water out the telltale

    Set the air/fuel mixture screw to what the Service Manual indicates so, better is for the motor to idle towards the rich than to the lean side. Once properly set adjust the slow idle rpm screw to a point that when the motor is geared forward while the combo floats on water doesn't die, adjust as...

    Merc's 150 HP 2 Stroke EFI Motor.-

    This is a good motor running strong with no issues whatsoever except the wot rpm is automatically reduced to max 2K when the combo encounters choppy or rough water conditions, clears itself soon after the combo encounters flat calm water conditions. As summer is around the corner need to...

    Suzuki DF25A prop

    If motor sits at the sweet transom height with deck load well distributed don't need to trim the motor all the way in, test same with trim set to neutral (90 deg) just full throttle from a dead stop and that combo will jump on plane instantly with 2 up and surely with some kids, a matter to...

    Fouling spark plugs

    If this scenario is what bothers you, it's the nature of that beast... A 2 strokes motor will foul spark plugs from brand new out of the box if the motor runs at idle rpm for long time trolling periods, will depend entirely on the motor's brand, the fuel/air idle adjustment, 2 stroke oil...

    2000 Yamaha 9.9 2 stroke won't start

    Sea Rogue, if you're located in the USA, why would you need to send that crankshaft Canada to have it rebuilt there. If all the required parts that's needed to work right as from out of the box are not available specially the labyrinth seal and the crank-pin that holds the middle ball bearing...

    2013 30hp Tohatsu/Nissan EFI wont start weird problem

    Yes, it's a shame that electronic parts costs so much, Tohatsu should lower their expensive parts prices and retain boaters boating with their motors and not give way for them to leave their brand towards other as the OP has experienced. But the harsh reality is that Tohatsu it's not the only...

    Fouling spark plugs

    When saying will foul, you mean the electrode will be darkened, carboned up with use ? If so, this is normal, all 2 strokes motors will go that way compared to 4 stroke plugs. When the plugs are fouled, does the motor hesitates, misses a bit when opening fast the throttle past idle rpm right...

    Thanks all, have both dealers very close. Yam is out of stock, as summer is around the corner seems Suzy will be favored with a simple tiller 30L or 40L HP motor. Merc has the 30L HP which it's a rebadged 30 HP Tohatsu, for my particular taste deslike the timing advance/carb throttle system...

    Really ? You don't even believe what posted yourself. So the fuel additives shot the middle tough ball bearing, wow what a great high tech explanation with usual out of this world comparissons. It's a 2 stroke Yam 9.9 motor, what has to do with a Jet Ski which runs at constant full fun max wot...

    Fouling spark plugs

    If all is adjusted as per factory specs, 2 stokes motor usually darkens/fouls plugs due to being run for too long at reduced rpm, say trolling rpm where the spark plugs does not reach their Self Cleaning Temp above 500 C. Independently if the plugs fouls, does the motor hesitates, misses when...

    2000 Yamaha 9.9 2 stroke won't start

    Two short answers : 1-The whole crankshaft is way discolored, brownish look, to check if dived in salted water, put your tongue at several parts and check if salted, which will indicate that the motor dived which it's the worse case scenario. 2-With second hand motors won't know if won the...
