    New Noise - 2002 Yam 90hp 4 stroke

    Had the Crestline Fish Hawk 1650 SC in the garage all winter. Put it in the water yesterday. Was driving it to the dock and it started screaming a steady non-stop alarm-like noise. The motor also bogged down. Today, I putted around for 10 minutes - no noise. So I gassed it and it immediately...

    1997 Regal Valanti 202 - Engine Dogs

    The boat ran great two years ago. Last year it started with this problem. It seemed to be only in the first 30 minutes or so, then ran fine. This year it seems to be somewhat worse.

    two piece manifold

    Has anyone converted their manifold from the one-piece to the two piece? What did you pay? Or have you done it yourself? Can anyone with a wrench do it? Where's the best place to find the parts? Thanks.

    exhaust flappers.

    First Post. Just bought a boat. It's a 97 Regal 202 Something. I knew the Gimbal was bad so brought it to a mechanic. When he pulled off the lower unit, a couple of the flappers and some rubber parts were setting right there at the exhaust port. He's going to replace the Gimbal and the bellows...
