    Bias ply as spare for radials ???

    I just bought 2 new radial trailer tires for the boat (17 ft alum, not heavy). They are ST205/75R14's. I forgot I had a spare that was a ST205/75D14 bias ply. Is it ok to use the bias play as a spare for one of the radials for an emergency pull home after a flat for 2 hours max? Don't really...

    Looking to get engine data from a '06 Yamaha F115 piped to a Lowrance LMF-400 or LMF-200 NMEA gauge over a NMEA network. Lowrance sells a Yamaha interconnect cable that I believe plugs into the "command link" interface on the engine and then into the NMEA network. How plug and play is it and...

    2005 F115 and 704 remote shifting problem

    I have recently installed a 2005 Yamaha F115 with a known working 704 remote control box. The remote control and cables worked fine with a 1996 C115 very recently.
