Just wanted to say welcome to all of the new members here! There's been an uptick since quarantine requirements lol. Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. It is a great time to work on our boats in hopes of salvaging at least part of the season if this virus ever decides to leave town...

Finally got off my @ss and cleaned/rebuilt the carbs on my 2 stroke yamaha 150. Did not replace floats. By cleaning, I mean carb cleaner and compressed air. Anyhow, she's still misbehaving. Before and after carb work the motor runs strong entire spectrum. Problem is it cuts off frequently...

Ferm/Spare - anybody. 2004 with around ~1200 hours. Runs out perfect at all RPMs except at idle (600 rpms) it runs fine overall, just occassionally coughs, but keeps running except sometimes cuts off. It cut off with me probably 20 times over the course of a day. Seems to be worse when...

Here is the story. With saltwater use I like to change the plugs in my 2004 Yamaha 150 every year. Well, I went to buy plugs this year and got the number off one plug so I could buy the new ones. NGK BR8HS-10. So I bought 6 BR8HS-10 plugs. Got home, went to replace them and realized I had 1...

Check your PM!

V20 Team, here is where we are currently: Talked to the current host, yodaddy, great guy. Working on a solution. Note that there could be an interruption when we move. It could result in loss of data, but if it does it should be minimal, possibly ~1 weeks worth of updates? Will make...

Fished a couple days out of Murrells Inlet SC this past weekend with my good buddy Sparky. We had a fun time. Spent over 20 hours on the boat, burned nearly 200 gallons of fuel and covered over 250 miles on the water in the V21. A lot of work and just enough time at the end of each day to...

After blowing out my back on the memorial day trip I decided something has to change. So I ended up buying a tractor seat for $99 at my local tractor supply. I had to drill a couple extra holes in my existing seat base to mount my own captain chair to the tractor seat base (did not use the...

Posting this for a friend who is having a problem. He says the motor runs but won't run full throttle. Says nothing abnormal when running on the garden hose, but won't go full throttle on the water. It is not much but that's about all I know. He changed the plugs and says the throttle...

Day 1 left the dock around 4:30 am with my buddy and my daughter. Eased on out under a bright moon and welcomed a nice sunrise half way out to the break around 65 miles from the rocks. The plan was to troll until noon then drop back in to a spot in 120ft to bottom fish. Trolling was slow but...

Back story - I have an occasional fuel restriction that sucks my primer ball flat. This happens intermittently maybe 1 - 2 times per year. The restriction is between the h2o separator and the fuel pickup inside the tank. I believe there is some debris inside the tank...possibly a plastic...

I bought an additional above deck tank to fit under my bench seat. I bought a brass 3 way valve online. Hooked it all up - when I turn the selector know it spews fuel from the selector stem! So I got a refund, bought another brand at the local marine store. Hooked it all up - same sh!t...

So, this isn't my pic, but it is a very helpful pic posted by Destroyer (thanks D)when he replaced his V21 deck. You can see the fuel line running from the pickup at the front of the tank. There are cutouts in the bulkheads routing to the rear of the boat. If you look closely, you see the...

I'm looking at replacing the fuel lines from tank to fuel separator, fuel separator to primer bulb...Anybody tell me what size lines? I know it needs to be A1 rated for below deck installation. I was thinking 3/8 dia all the way around. Pretty sure that's whats in it now. Looking at 25ft...

I've noticed a very slow leak from it. Anybody dealt with this?

Left the dock at first light with my daughter and her boyfriend. First time out for him and only the 2nd time for her. Beautiful ocean with a comfortable ride out to 100' for a bottom trip. Air temp reached 80 + with 75 degree water temp in the deep. Fished 90 - 120 ft (50 miles from rocks)...

I mentioned this in my repair thread, but decided to start a new thread over here in performance on this subject. How about the new light weight good-on-gas in-line 4 cylinder 4 strokes by Yamaha? Looking at 150hp or 175hp (rather have 200 but not bad enough to spend thousands more. The...

I mentioned this in my spun prop thread but it needs its own thread. Motor= 2004 150hp Yamaha 2 stroke with ~1000 lovingly applied hours I need help. My tilt quit on me a couple weeks ago. Noticed the little cylinder cap on the right cylinder (takes a spanner or "pin" wrench) was loosened. I...

Went fishing this weekend. Truly a fishing trip with very little catching. Spun the prop about 8 miles out. Was still able to make about 6 knots. Got out the life jackets, called Sea Tow on the telephone to alert the local captain of the situation and that we were still able to make headway...

Murrell's Inlet Bottom Fishing Report 4/18 Headed down after work on Friday to do some fishing. Wasn't sure about the forecast with rain all over but the wife was having her girly time for her birthday this weekend......in my man cave! So, with me being kicked out of my humble abode, me and a...
