    Run In Neutral when flushing?

    Have a 115 4 stroke and a 8 hp 4 stroke both with the hose connections for flushing statically I guess you'd say. Even though I've been assured by lots of folks that that works fine I want to be able to attach some ears and do a flush that way as well. Even if it's to just warm up the oil for an...

    Extend the dooger?

    I don't know what else you call it. Anyway the boat ramp close to home I'm using is not a very steep angle and I have to go up to the drums almost on my Tacoma. That's with 16" wheels. I'd rather not have to do that and what I'm thinking of as a solution is buying another dooger and ball and...

    Which Chart Card to add?

    I'm getting the Eagle Intellimap 502C and wondering which chart card is best to add. I'm sure it's kind of a subjective question but looking for opinions on what you folks like. I'm located in the Seattle area and don't see myself needing lake info. Just good details of Puget Sound and the...

    Another fogging question?

    I'm a new and optimistic boat owner who thinks that I'll be taking my boat out at least once a month during the winter. I live in the Puget Sound area so winters are moderate. The boat lives in my garage when not in use. Should I be fogging? If it makes any difference I have a F115 and F8; both...

    Good Single Purpose GPS Chart Plotter

    I'm new here and a new boat owner but have done the search thing and still looking for input. My 17.5 Smokercraft came with an Eagle fish finder that works great and I have a 5 year old Garmin Etrex I use in the woods but is not very practical imo in the boat. I want the best bang for the buck...

    Is the flush hose on my F115 adequate

    I just bought a used boat and it came with a 2002 Yamaha f115 and a F8. I'm pretty much running in salt only so want to make sure I am flushing properly. A freind of seems to think that you're not getting a complete flush when you just do the convenient method of attaching a hose to the...

    My New Boat!

    I'm an old fart but feeling like a kid. I just put a deposit down on a 17-1/2' Smokercraft Stealth! My first boat. I used to use my Dad's little runabout so I'm not totally green but it's been a while so I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions. Powered by Yamaha F115 and a F8 kicker. 270 hours on...

    Livingston 14'er Question

    I am brand new here and posted a question about the value of a 14 Livingston I'm looking at to buy. Value aside, now a freind of mine is telling me run, not walk away from it because they are unsafe and a very uncomfortable ride. I live on Vashon Island in Puget Sound and will be using this...

    Value Question on Livingston

    I'm brand new here and I have an opportunity to buy a used 14' Livingston with a Yamaya 2 stroke 30 and a Yamaha 4 stroke 4 hp. The 30 has less then a 100 hours and the 4 has under 10 hours. The boat looks real clean and well kept. He's asking 4700 for the whole package which includes trailer of...
