    Telltale stream and exhaust water flow amounts on Yamaha 2000 200hp Saltwater series 2 stroke

    ALWAYS do a water pump service with a complete kit.NEVER do impeller only. Then labor is the same either way. Cheaping out on parts of that nature could lead to catastrophe.Charlie

    No water stream when flushing Suzuki DF250

    I have to duct tape my muffs onto my Yamaha to get a telltale stream when running on muffs to prevent water loss.I also fill the motor with fresh water thru the flush port prior to running on muffs so you are starting out with the motor full of water.If Suzuki is anything like Yamaha...they dont...

    Been there, done that.If you wanna use the same screws, clean the holes with a rattail file and slightly enlarge them.Wipe with acetone when done.Take your screws and tightly and totally wrap them in single layer aluminum foil so you still have the ridges in the screw..Fill the holes with epoxy...

    Lower unit impeller, metal sleeve or no sleeve??

    I see more and more impellers over the years eliminating the metal sleeve and going with completely rubber one piece design.Mercruiser,Yamaha etc.The logical reason I can see is cost.No metal has to cost less to produce.I have avoided the non metal sleeve impellers but recently have heard a very...

    Getting a Generator,which brand??

    Don't know who makes the engine but read some very good reviews on the Mitsu stating it was quiet and on par with Yamaha and Honda. I doubt that is really the case, Charlie

    Looking for reviews on 2009 Bayliner 175

    I think for that size boat that an outboard would be a much better choice.Especially for your planned usage. The Bayliner is not a very dry boat, quite wet as a matter of fact.Charlie
