Thanks for the information. Replaced the first six rivets with screws. Starting the search for the end cap.

My boat just popped a bow rivet and I noticed the end cap missing. Anybody have a lead on a replacement end cap She's a 2000 model.

I need to replace my fuel pick-up tubes. Tanks are the standard 20 gallon on a 2000 model. All I can find are the West Marine Attwood brand tubes that are kinda pricy for the 24" to get cut down to 15". One reviewer posted that his tubes slipped off and left him dead in the water. Not what I...

I have the 13 inch trailer tires. Goodyear used to be good. What is the recommended tire in 2021? Bias-ply or radial? Any brand any better or are they all china may pops? I think the real solution is to upgrade trailer with bigger tires. But I need to get this trailer roadworthy first...

I am waiting on the Dynatrac manual locking hub kit to ship out. Wanting to convert my 07 Dodge to manual locking hubs with serviceable bearings and ditch the factory unit bearing hubs. The drive axles, driveshaft and front differential are always rotating even in two wheel drive. Lots of...

I have been using the original plastic pump that came with my kerosene heater that I bought in 1988. The plastic pump has a ridged tube that sticks in the container to be drawn out of. At the top is a squeeze primer bulb and an air bleed to stop the siphon when desired. A flexible hose comes...

Two items that go great together. The first is that shrinking hose that you see on TV. It has a flow control valve and it does shrink to a small size when drained. Great with fresh water wash down or at dockside when you need more hose than the ridged coil hose type. If you have ever owned...

The new 1500 Dodge will have a v-6 turbo. 240 h.p., 420ft.lbs of torque. 8 speed automatic. 18mpg city, 28mpg highway. Not sure what it can tow. But it is available in September.

MMmmm, I wonder if that would be the "Sandpiper"? I saw her headed South thru Alabama the other day. I was 40 miles from home and with the sun in my eyes saw the unmistakable outline of a C-Dory coming towards me. My stomach cringed when at first I thought someone had snatched my boat! That...

Wow, 2311 miles. Now that is a quite a sea trial. Glad to hear the Yamaha is performing as it has been cared for. Sounds like a great cruise.

I would try duck tape on the outside. Then fill from the inside with RTV and let cure. Remove tape. Blue RTV would color match.

Brent, No need for confusion. By Law, the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is required to be made available to the user on just about any chemical product. This information sheet covers many details about the product. I.E Product name, trade name, color, odor, storage info, flash point, first...

Roy, Glad you got her running. Below is a link that shows what is in your carb. A diagram always helps. http://www.yamaha-motor.com/partviewer/ ... _-_1999%29 You can order parts from this place if needed. Notice item 44 shows an internal screen. There are the tiny screens in the fuel...

Sounds like plugged up carbs to me as well. Check your fuel line connection fittings and make sure they are not sucking air. If you have a racor fuel filter with water separator drain that filter/bowl first. Open the fuel bowl drain screws to drain the fuel into a container for inspection...
