    Yamaha 150 4 Stroke Overheat Alarm

    I have twin Yamaha 2010 150hp Engines (4 Stroke) and was out running my boat today for about 3 hours. Outbound trip (90 minutes) no problems. Return trip, I was running at 3900 RPMs (my normal cruise speed) and everything was fine for most of the trip. With about 5 minutes to go I slowed the...

    Joystick docking system for outboards? I just got to see the new Teleflex Optimus 360

    My 21 year old son and I just came back from three days at the Miami boat show and by far the best thing that we saw was the new Teleflex Optimus 360 system that brings joystick docking to outboard powered boats (which we got to go test ride and it was truly amazing!). I have always been...

    AB Inflatables - Alumninum RIB - Anyone have any experience with them?

    I'm considering buying an AB Inflatable Aluminum RIB (most likely the Ultralight 10) to replace my Achilles LSI-96 Air Floor Inflatable. Although I really like my Achilles, I need something that tows better than the Air Floor and a traditional fiberglass RIB is too heavy for me (I have to roll...

    New Yamaha 150 4 Stroke leaking oil into splashwell when up

    I have a 2010 Grady White Tournament 275 with twin Yamaha 150 4-Strokes that was launched for the first time in April this year. I now have 65 hours on the motors and the starboard engine leaks a small amount of oil into the splashwell when the engine is tilted up (to port) at the mooring...

    Garmin 4212 versus 5212

    I'm finally at the point where I need to make a decision on electronics for my new boat and keep tossing a coin between the Garmin 4212 and Garmin 5212. Although the 6212 and 7212 look great, they really don't seem to be worth the extra money (especially since I can reinvest it in additional...

    Yamaha 150 4 Stroke stalls when shifting

    I have a 2006 Yamaha 150 4 Stroke (on a Striper 2101DC) that was purchased as a leftover in the Fall of '07 and used for the first season in '08. The motor (and boat) run great except for the fact that if I shift slowly from neutral to forward or from neutral to reverse, the engine stalls...

    New Yamaha 150 Stalls when shifting

    I have a new Yamaha 150 EFI 4 Stroke (2006 engine but just launched for the first time in April this year along with my '06 leftover 2101 DC). The engine was just in for a 20 hour service. While bringing the boat in to the dock I noticed that it stalled for the first time when I shifted very...
