    Ordering Parts

    I'm looking to purchase a PTT motor for my 1999 Yamaha S150 TXRX. When I look up the part # on Arco site my motor calls for a # 6240. When I look up the PTT motor on iboats their part # is 6241 and it is for an OMC motor. Also the difference between the 6240 & 6241 is the 6240 has "O" ring...

    Flushing Precision Blend system

    I have a 99 S150 TXRX that I'm putting on my boat. I was told it sat for about a year. Boat started and ran great, all even compression. No indication that motor wasn't getting proper oil. My question: is it common practice to flush out the precision blend system after so many years if working...

    Fuel Gauge

    Can you take a resistance reading across the fuel tank sender unit to tell what type of gauge you should use or would I have to remove the sender to do this? While looking at some Faria gauges they have two different types. One has a range of 10-180 ohms and the other is 240-33 ohms. This is...

    Increasing Tongue Length

    I have a galvanized trailer and was wondering is it safe to extend the center square beam that attaches to the coupler by welding to it? The reason is that the boat is easier for me to get it off trailer in deeper water but seems like to much of my truck is in the water too. So I thought if I...

    Determining Deadrise

    I've read somewhere to figure your boats deadrise to use a carpenters square with long side (at least 22") on the keel and move it until it touches the transom. Then measure from the back of the keel at the transoms bottom to the inside of the carpenters short side. Then every inch is equal to 2...
