    Yamaha 704 binnacle remote question

    Hi 2001 yamaha 130 v4. New yamaha control cables and 704 binnacle remote. Any way to get a more positive feel in neutral? What happens is when you go from forward to neutral it is very subtle. If not paying close attention you can overshoot it and go to reverse. I tried increasing the friction...

    Add cleat to trailer?

    Line on the stern one on bow, once boat is floating pull it over to dock by hand. To load it you pull it over to the trailer by hand

    Add cleat to trailer?

    Believe it or not I've never driven a boat off or on a trailer and I've owned close to 10 boats over 25 years. But yeah I get the idea. Thanks

    Add cleat to trailer?

    I noticed when I launch my boat off my roller trailer it takes the winch strap very far with it as it's coming off the trailer. I have a bow line tied to the boat but I can't undue the winch strap until the tension is gone which is usually far down the trailer. What's the thoughts on putting a...

    Driveshaft wasn't stuck at all. Here's a pic of the powerhead lifting off. Top of shaft is ok. Lower is still stuck on.

    Nissan 9.9 2 stroke stuck lower unit

    Well. There goes the casting. Broke a big chunk off the lower unit. Going to part out what's left. Anyone know if the 9.8 2 stroke shares most of the same parts with this 9.9 2 stroke?

    Nissan 9.9 2 stroke stuck lower unit

    Trying to remove lower unit. It uses 4 studs and nuts. I've been soaking the stud area and all around the parting line of the unit to exhaust housing for a week. Tried heating the area around the studs. It won't even drop enough to get a screwdriver between them. I tried hitting the lower unit...

    Yamaha 130 v4 idle mix screws

    My 2001 130 v4 loads up when running at a fast idle say 1100 to 1500 rpm range. It doesn't stall but you can tell it's not as smooth as it should be. I set the screws to factory spec bur may need some finite adjustments? On my last 115 v4 I remember not noticing a perceived change when adjusting...

    Yamaha 130 hp oil pump rod adjustment

    My 2001 130 hp v4. When I adjust the oil pump lever clip at the oil pump arm I'm having a little trouble. If I adjust it so the lever hits the pin on the pump (low speed throttle closed position) it short changes the pin at full throttle. It just about makes it to the full throttle pin on the...

    Yamaha 130 2 stroke height

    Seems strange that the anode would cause a bigger v spray at the higher engine mounting position? Do you think maybe the water coming off the bottom of the hull is deflecting off that ribbed section of the motor?

    Yamaha 130 2 stroke height

    I tried it without it and it was worse. Lot more bow rise and more sensitive to porpoising.

    No feedback helm question

    Just wondering if it's OK for there to be about 2 inches of back and forth when you push on the outboard as if trying to steer left or right? I know the design of the helm won't allow you to manually steer the motor when pushing on the motor one way or other but I have little play back and...

    Yamaha 130 2 stroke height

    So I'm thinking the v spray ( v like spray coming from each side of motor) is coming from that ribbed section above the cav plate seen in the front of the outboard. With the motor mounted in hole number 3 during testing the v spray was worse then when mounted in hole number 2. For this...
