why?

Those look awesome!!!!!

That end plate you may have more luck getting that and a couple of seals run the serial number on line for the motor find the name of that plate and chase that number and the seals do you actually still have a visible anode on your lower unit it should be around the cavitation plate somewhere held by I or 2 bolts better yet give me the make model hp and serial number and I will look for you right at the moment I don’t think you need a full lower cherrs peter

Suggestion get a propane torch turn the gas on don’t light it run the nozzle around all your fuel lines next to the carb not the throat with the engine running if you have a suction leak somewhere the propane will make the motor rev higher don’t worry you won’t blow up check that your fuel tank is venting if it’s an old fuel line from the tank spending the money and buy a new one I don’t think your issue is worth taking to a shop check the idle setting as well it sounds like an easy fix and throw some SEAFOAM in with your gas hope this helps a bit Cheers Biteme

Very cool little bit of everything almost like going to the Mandrian

Too much time thinking and not enough doing

I’m working on a deck on that side and I’m going to box it in somewhat I will be able to close it quite a bit and still get the push and pull I need for heat transfer its in the plan

I do have a sheer issue as well as chill issue living on the coast it just happens that predominately it runs 90 degrees to my pump which is not helpful and a normal winter day is 25kts + with sustained days above 50 of course the nor’easter that are always lurking and plentiful yes bad choice of words possibly but at the root they are hyped just a little to much in hindsight site should have just gone with propane right from the start to back the wood burner up. cheers Peter

I’ve got a Lennox same same 10 year warranty blah blah blah all run on the exact same concept different parts maybe maybe not but one thing that is not changeable are the laws of thermodynamics and you can only strip so much heat out of -20 and below air add in wind sheer and there is not a lot left it’s like going nowhere in neutral

I’m having a propane furnace put in before the winter this year and yes I do run a wood burner back up absolutely can’t rely on the heat pump

I’m really not for or against when it’s really howling here it spends a lot of time in defrost it just can’t handle the environment well where we are I don’t use it to cool and I would not recommend one to any body

in the reservoir for the cylinder, it should have a pick-up tube, possibly with a filter, check that, and also it could have a bypass valve that may need adjusting

Is there a pressure regulator adjuster on the unit change out the oil with a winter grade 32w

I’ve never had an issue with bay city marine and anyone I’ve sent there same

Any body on here use a prop guard on low hp motors ie https://www.amazon.ca/GHmarine-Propeller-Outboards-Thruster-Protective/dp/B0BD58Z91X/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=1HCSXRY4GCRTC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pS-o9zTN56nkQPbMzofZEe5hhwE0e954YEZittAz8hgvy4-UTTHLtIK1z4iDvMkB9aTR8fgcnNsKFf2o4UxvG-zIwbcNZ0-b_Bt1jl4iFnOWUAbemLRhqLkWlQ7J50xwVYyHqqjHZM_h2jPXh9Hl518lvTCbcMxXNdYrTlpRW7_zZk_0wZBENC8vyQ0P7SIPVNaHu5tGlDcHXc2tHLbnzg.OAumjNcDf6o2R6IpM8bAtkNzIrxqD26wtZL1IHlVUmg&dib_tag=se&keywords=outboard+motor+propeller+guard+for+yamaha&qid=1749421616&sprefix=outboard+motor+propeller+guard+for+yamaha%2Caps%2C118&sr=8-4 what are your thoughts on these cheers peter

I am partial to the tuning forks Lew wish they made cars

I can say for me and my boat partner nothing but respect ever

Wish I was still in the area I would help you out

So just to follow up on this a bit was out with the wife last week on a local lake and suffered a muskoka haircutlong story short it was a 96 15hp merc and in my opinion had already suffered this once before I will look for a used lower and sell it so this followed me home today I was on the bike and no way to carry it so I will pick it up next week and give next weekend another go

Since they put it in the news the way they did I will confirm it You’ll have to figure out where off the chart monsters! cheers biteme

Well since you asked…. This followed me home the other day. Meghan gave me an early birthday present. It’s been almost 8 years since going coastal and I haven’t had a boat under my butt since then. I’ll say it shore line fishing sucks! So for the time being we are going to hit lakes in Queens county. So many lakes not enough days. Back to basics! Chart plotter and bow mount coming at some point. ill keep you posted Cheers BITEME

Buy a 4 stroke

I have never run a kicker in my life Maybe I should have but never could get my head around the actual need. Save your money for something else, you don't need it. Take that for what it is

you will be fine a bow mount is a bonus I prefer a deep 16 footer that is eaiser to drag around

You could look at this option I had fantastic success with this on my sixteen footer you drop them down and it produces drag in normal op it improves ride at speed don’t over think this to much chinooks will pound baits at 2.5 all day https://nauticusinc.com/products/protroller-trolling-plates/?srsltid=AfmBOooyWeycZXq7GGdidltPDouasELD7QHIEor8tfFBk6dnjigHngsu
