    Boat taking on water and I have no idea why

    When you say the water goes out the bilge pump, do you mean with the pump running? The hose that runs to the front of the boat that water comes in from, do you know where that goes? Is there some kind of opening in your hull below the water line for live well or anything else? Maybe pictures...

    Modern Engine Thoughts

    I don't think it will take decades, maybe one decade. My son in law works at a BMW dealership and they let him have a free vehicle as a perk. Last weekend he had a BMW SUV EV and that thing was amazing! The acceleration was insane, like taking off on a roller coaster. Can park itself, do pretty...

    Do you use non ethanol gas ?

    Not to be argumentative but isn't a decreased supply a shortage?

    Did you mean that towards me instead of Lou C? If so I'm sorry if I offended but some people get a bit hot under the collar if you don't agree with them!

    Yamaha with Water in Oil

    If it the engine oil, is it a lot or just a trace. When I changed mine last fall there were a couple of streaks of faint white on the top of the dipstick. I put that down to condensation from the air. You want to be careful though, it could be serious.

    Do you use non ethanol gas ?

    I think I'd stick with 10% if I could. Seems thats what most engines are designed for these days.

    Fuel efficient!

    Not exact, but its the same place and type of fishing I always do (cod) so compared to the old engine, I'm in awe! I've burned about $50 Can. gas this year and gas is running about $2/liter or higher. Roughly 25 liters. Distance I would rough estimate about 8 miles per trip plus idle time of a...

    Do you use non ethanol gas ?

    I think up here in Canada 10% is all you can get. I've never seen higher.

    Boat Ramp Etiquette

    Where I go there is a harbour master who directs who is next and where to park your trailer etc. Makes life so much easier! But I find most people are polite. I always ask if the people in boats that might be ahead are waiting to land or just picking up passengers. Common courtesy goes a long...

    Boat Ramp Etiquette

    People who decide to put their PFD's and other gear aboard the boat while on the ramp really boil me.

    Fuel efficient!

    I can't believe how fuel efficient my new to me 2016 Yamaha f90 is! I've been out fishing 4-5 times on a tank of gas that was 3/4 full when I started. I still have 1/2 a tank in her left. Granted the distance isn't real far 3-4 miles, but I leave her idling the whole time out and there is a lot...

    Do you use non ethanol gas ?

    My Yamaha says use E10 so thats what I use. I figure the folks making the engines have done their research!

    Do you use non ethanol gas ?

    I think it originally was introduced as a way to lower gas consumption and probably CO2 emmisions. Ethanol is a renewable resource so whatever CO2 is released is reabsorbed in the next crop so to speak. Probably was good for farmers as well as it gave them another buyer of corn.

    Do you use non ethanol gas ?

    Gas line antifreeze as it used to be called would absorb any water in the tank and prevent it from freezing in the lines/carb. It keeps water from building up in the tank. Probably not such an issue in Min. where it gets cols and stays cold, but in areas where the weather swings between mild and...

    Those Annoying Jellyfish.-

    That might be caused by the low sea turtle populations in the ocean. Don't they eat jellyfish? I've never seen so many before!

    Pairing engine size with boat size

    It don't sound like you are really concerned with high speed and hole shot and such more so just decent speed with good gas mileage. If thats the case then definetly i'd go for 4 stroke. I have a f90 Yamaha on my 19 ft fiberglass and couldn't be happier. The gas mileage is unbelievable compared...
