    Brain fart while removing Alpha drive

    I have only done this flawlessly approx 30 times.Removed my alpha drive yesterday and cant believe I forgot to put shifter in full fwd.The drive came off easily as it always does.So I am assuming it is only critical to have it in full fwd when installing and when removing not critical.??

    The 02 sensor was not where the noise can come from.I was directing you to an very small passageway just to the left of the 02 sensor.A very small silver barbell shaped piece that you take out with your fingertip and clean thoroughly especially the passageway through the center of it.The actual...

    Long Period of Storage

    If you did a full winterizing correctly including changing out all lubricants and greasing all grease and lube points,there shouldnt be much to surprise you.One of my concerns would be impeller unless as I stated you did a "full and complete" winterization.If you have not already changed the...

    2000 200 hp Saltwater series waterpump washers

    Completed the service and reused the washers as was recommended by a Yamaha tech.That setup certainly seems like overkill.Takes way longer than it should especially the woodruff key.Getting it back in was no picnic either.

    Looks like a good fit with no room to spare.1 year old is great news.grease the bearings and get a couple of QUALITY tie down straps/gunwale .(DEF NOT THE ORANGE CHEAP CRAP ONES THAT YOU SEE BUSTED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD EVERYWHERE).Make sure you use the safety chains on the trailer to the...
