    Hooked up battery backwards to yamaha 70 etlj 1986

    Should be an in - line 20 amp fuse right near and under the black plastic electrical cover on the starboard side of motor… It’s easy to find and replace….keep a spare on hand for future….I guess most folks have hooked up the battery backwards at some time, wheather they’ll admit it or not!

    Car Tires ok?

    It would depend on how far and how fast you’ll be towing…..for a couple of miles back and forth to your local boat ramp I’d say it’s O.K…..more than that then better stick with trailer tires….

    Buying brand new Yamaha repair/repair manual or used one.

    I bought my C90 new in 1999 And bought a Clymer manual for it but this book covers different models and can be a bit confusing to use….truth is the motor is so darn bullet- proof and simple to maintain, I’ve never really had to study the Clymer book….

    squeaky leaf springs

    Over the years whenever I’m packing my wheel bearings, I gob the old/ extra grease on the leaf springs and shackles and it lubricates them and protects them from corrosion….it stays on there forever….works good!

    Getting Transducer Parrallel

    I don’t think the transducer has to be perfectly parallel with the bottom…just eyeball it when you get in the water….mine is mounted on a little up/ down pivot with a nut/ bolt friction deal to prevent it getting broken off upon an impact with solid object….if it gets knocked up or down say 5...

    Jon boat hull difference.

    My 1870 MV Xpress is a Jon boat, has a bit of a V shape up front ,tapering back to mostly flat in the back (5 degree dead rise at transom)….this slight V shape just gives it a better ride in rougher water…..better but not really good….A flat bottom Jon boat is very stable but not a good ride in...

    4Cyl 2Strk lower cylinder won’t fire. Has spark but low compression.

    100 psi on one cylinder shouldn’t keep it from running….could be a stuck piston ring on that cylinder….maybe something else causing poor running. I’d put a set of new or very clean spark plugs in, run the motor and then pull/ inspect plugs for how they’re burning, carbon, etc….might tell you...
