    Bravo 3 Speedometer tube

    Speedometer does not work on a Bravo 3. I think I found the tube that goes to the drive right behind the Zinc that mounts to the front. It has a zip tie around it and a white plastic piece with a pointed end. Am I on the right track here?

I wondered if the filter...

    Steering Cable broken?

It was like that when I bought the boat over a year ago and yes the steering is a little loose. Is it...

    Repairing Deck/Livewell Hatch

    As you can see in the pictures the opening ring hole is to large. Also the primary problem is when you step on the hatch it gives a little. The supports are cracked on the back side. Can this be fixed by an amature? Was the back side of this painted with some sort of white marine paint?

    Rev Limiter

    At what RPM does the rev Limiter kick in on a 2001 Yamaha 130 hp (130TXRZ)? Yesterday was the first time I was able to open it up in calm seas, it would go full throttle and kick back a few hundred RPM's and build again ( only let it do it twice and backed off). Runs good below full throttle...
