  1. I emailed the company and there are no canadian retailers at this time

    These guys are getting them in.

    From another site.

     

     

    They weren't aware of the product but we pointed it out in the Yamaha Canada offering here so they had no problem sourcing it.

    I think it took a couple of weeks to come in.

  2. I'm no expert but it might be the carb and it just needs a good cleaning.

     

    My mower was acting similar about 3 years ago and my neighbour mentioned my carb may need a cleaning. Googled carb cleaning videos for my motor/HP size and found a couple. Went the easy route first and dropped the bowl and jets out without removing the carb. Sprayed it all down with carb cleaner, fine wire poked through the holes in the jets, put it back together and it's been working great since. Only took about a half an hour to do and no costs other then the carb cleaner.

  3. no...i asked three years ago for a sticker....apparently that was a voluntary thing that is no longer being done.

     

    I have no idea (other than cost) why this sticker idea has never been implemented. Nothing worst than the same boat stopping you 2 or 3 times in the same day. :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:

     

    I've got a couple of flash lights, a floating one and replaced the crappy one that came with the kit with a waterproof one. Another idea that was shared with me a while back was to have some glow sticks on board. No batteries required and last for hours as an auxiliary light source. If you're floating in the water at night, it would certainly provide some light for signaling. The other thing I have on my life jackets, are automatic strobe lights. Water hits them and they start to flash. Also have flares, have more stuff than you need to have and that can't be a bad thing.
