Not having the top of the mount resting on top of the transom is fairly normal. The height of motor can be adjusted as needed, up or down. There should be 4 bolts mounting it to your transom, and nothing else. Most people use some type of marine sealant/light adhesive between the bracket and the...

Just throwing this out there- Have you checked the bolts going through the transom that they used to bolt the new motor on? Check for tightness, as I can imagine a loose bolt or two would make vibrations like crazy. Maybe check while you're there to see if they sealed anything when they...

I would like to say thank you to Gary and Colleen for putting this together for all of us- it was well organized and a TON of fun! Thanks also to Patrick for the wonderful Christening of our new 23' Sjøhest! That was a lot of fun, and we made it home safely thanks to you and the successful...

Getting ready to launch at Boat Haven Port Townsend

My Wallas 800 is designed to run on kerosene, and Bill at Scan Marine said to use Kleen-Heat or 1-K. I found Kleen-Heat locally at Home Depot, so I grabbed a couple of gallons. I was worried about voltage drop, hearing that they are sensitive especially at start-up. I have it wired to my house...

I do feel very lucky that our unit fired up without problems. I am really looking forward to trying it out this weekend for our second over-night on the hook! We are thinking somewhere around Port Ludlow... Fairly good tides this weekend, so it will be a good test for our new Mantus anchor. I...

Since purchasing our 2006 23 Venture, I have had quite a few projects that I have been tackling one item at a time. Last night I decided to tackle the Wallas stove/heater that was in the boat. Before doing anything, I contacted Bill at Scan Marine. I told him what stove I had- Wallas 800- and...

No problem. My Username has a long story behind it, and it's really boring. A lot of people think that my name is Joe because of it. But, I was born and raised in Fairbanks! Have a safe and enjoyable time this weekend!

Thanks Ricka! Looking forward to it!

Thanks Dr. Bob. I am definitely looking forward to getting some stern lift, between the Permatrim and 4 blade Power Tech. Lightly loaded, and motor trimmed all of the way down, I couldn't get the bow to drop to any significance. The hull spray was coming off just behind the helm seat with the...

Thanks for letting me know the experience you had with yours when new. I think that most Yamaha's in the 90-115 HP range just get 17" pitch props put on at the dealers. I guess it's a starting point. I plan on keeping it as a spare, along with the nut, thrust washer and the rest. One thing I...
