    Livewell pump issue

    Are you referring to a single pump or two separate pumps? I would guess, and it's a guess not knowing the brand of pump, that you should be able to remove the pump by pushing on the tabs. I would also check for power first, do you hear it/them humming when turned on?

    How to test bonding/grounding using a multimeter

    If you got a shock while fueling I would measure voltage before I'd check for continuity. I would put the neg probe on the battery ground and the pos probe on whatever you were touching when you felt the shock. If your meter is on a resistance scale and you have a voltage across those two...

    New boat owner!

    Each time you tow it touch each hub to check the temp when you get to your destination. At the end of the day when you pull the boat out of the water take notice of the amount of water in the bilge when you pull the plug. Before you leave the ramp take a walk around making sure everything is...

    F4 water issue

    I flush my OB in a large trash can. The water temp only gets warms after running it for awhile and the source water in the tank gets warm from the exhaust warming it. The water in the tank is the same temp as the pisser water. Do you have an infrared thermometer to check the head temp? Is the...

    First Class Outboards.com

    Several years ago while searching for a new outboard for my boat I came across one of these "good deal" websites.I contacted Yamaha and was told that the "good deal" company was not a Yamaha dealer. Even IF it were true Yamaha would not honor any warranty plus the motors would not be EPA...

    F4 water issue

    The water temp out of the pisser should basically the same temp as the water source. Now you say it's hot enough to burn. If you have steam or the water is hot to the touch you have issues. I'm assuming you're running the motor with ear muffs and not in a tank with the exhaust heating the water.

    F4 water issue

    I don't understand what motor you have but without seeing the water coming from the motors pee hole there's no way anybody can tell you if it's good or bad. Can you post a video? My Yamaha F150 doesn't pee much. The mechanic told me the motors run on high water volume under low pressure so I...

    12volt not working

    What did you have plugged in the socket when you realized you didn't have power? Are you able to trace the hot wire from the socket to the power source? Remember even if your able to reset a breaker or replace a fuse you need to known why the breaker tripped or fuse blow. And yes you can reset a...

    Water pressure gauge install

    Just an FYI of my experience. I have a F150 hp and also wanted to monitor water pressure. After installing everything the gauge didn't register any pressure, I don't remember the range. I was told that the cooling system is high volume/low pressure. Unless you have a gauge that reads very low...
