    Yamaha 130 2 stroke height

    Tried it 1 hole up (2nd hole down from top). Big improvements but still didn't see cav plate in video. Wound up moving it up another hole ( 3rd hole down from top). Cav plate visible in video. No prop blowout on turns. Only thing is I noticed a v spray of water out to each side of the motor...

    How to video cavitation plate on the water

    I don't have anyone to go with me plus I'm trying to keep weight the same in the boat for testing. I believe my motor might be mounted too low. Anyone have suggestions on how to rig a camera to see the cav plate when underway?

    Yamaha 130 2 stroke height

    If the water is nice and flat I can trim up to about 1/2 on the guage but it's rarely flat and calm.

    Yamaha 130 2 stroke height

    1997 wellcraft 190ccf center console. 2001 yamaha 130 v4 20 " . Noticed a good deal of porpoising and I can only trim up not even 1/4 ot the trim guage. Also seems like a lot of spray ( whole back of the boat gets wet after running). I can't go back and see where the cav plate is when planing...

    Outboard mounting bolts

    I have a 97 wellcraft center console with a yamaha 130 hp outboard. I think I want to raise the motor 1 hole. I mounted it 2 months ago with 4000 silicone and new bolts/nuts. The bottom bolts are in a slotted section on the motor bracket. Think I'll be ok just loosening the nuts (the nuts are...

    Ok. Just very important to shut the engine off anytime you move away from the captains seat to minimize someone bumping the control.

    Yamaha 704 binnacle remote question

    Anyone know why the 704 remote doesn't have a safety lockout like the 703 where you have to squeeze the button to shift out of neutral? Not talking about throttle only just regular shift and go. Seems dangerous in that if the motor is running and you accidentally bump into the shift lever the...

    Yamaha 130 v4 prop question

    Couldn't find my boat in bulletin. Thinking about a 4 blade as my boat needs stern lift due to porpoising issues. Motor is mounted at correct height. From what I researched this hull design is why this happens. My motors rpm range according to the manual is 5500 to 6000. Rated 130 hp is at 5500...

    Yamaha 130 v4 prop question

    Got my 2001 yamaha 130 v4 2 stroke on my 1997 wellcraft 190ccf center console out on the water today for the first time. Felt a little slow to plane in my opinion. I checked top speed with a GPS speedometer got up to 47 mph at 6000 rpm. My boat only had me on it and 50 gal of fuel in the tank...

    Oil fill bezel ??

    Hi I have a 97 wellcraft 190ccf center console. I installed a oil fill tube in the side of my console but it is a little difficult to use as it's mounted flush. I found this picture of almost the same boat but with a angled bezel for oil fill. I tried looking on internet but can't find it ( not...
