Kind of. It is my job that keeps me from boating more. We boat with a German Shepherd and a Border Collie. For us the pets companionship on the water is comforting. It is not a big deal to get them a shore break. I use a rubber coated 16#river anchor, stern to shore and toss the anchor off...

Scan Gauge is one useful tool. If you have used one for a few years, check the website for the software version and upgrade instructions. The guage updates are well worth it. I had mine back in a week. Allot depends on the vehicle that you plug it into. It shows the tire temperature and...

Found one NAV light lens at "Yacht Supply Depot". $18.90 for the green lens and the black cover. Part number (0170BSDLNS) If it shows up with two new screws I will be really impressed. Thanks again! Chris

Sunbeam: Thanks for the information. I had stubled over the Perko sight in my search. But I could not locate just the lens or the price? To order: It seems you can't order direct from Perko. Do I search for the closest dealer and order from them? Thanks all.

Does anyone have a source/part number for the Perko NAV (green) light lens? I have a cracked lens and can't find any number on the lens. I found the whole light for $156. OUCH!

Repower with twins? Since I always cruise heavy and the Yamaha high thrust 50 and 60 is the same block just make mine a twin high thrust 60. That should cover all the basics. Running on one engine or two... it should perform very well.

Never owned a Honda. When I change the oil in my Yamaha with the prescribed amount and after running the engine it will check full. Come back a few days later and when cold it will show a bit over full. (enough that I drained some back out the first time) Start it up for a few and let it sit...

I enjoy a recharge/snooze on the roof. I made a simple rack from wood. Painted it with latex paint. I have about $50 in it. It can be removed in about 5 minutes. Works well as a sun deck, canoe/kayak rack or anything else rack. The outer ribs double as hand rails for going forward. My large...

Not familiar with Honda engines but I am thinking like Potter Water. You should be able to catch the pee water in a cup with one hand and use the IRT with the other. Then have someone cruise up thru the higher RPM. You should notice a big increase in water temp if it is truly running hot...

The limited slip would be available any time and would try to work when going around corners as mentioned when not desired. It seems the E-locker only works when in four wheel drive and available with the off-road package. You can change out the transfer case control module with the Raptors to...

I was the third owner of my 2000 boat/80 H.P. and it also served time as a demo boat for Three Rivers Marine at some point. The engine is a detuned 100. That is why the cowling looks huge. Mine came with carbs that had began to get pluged up from lack of use, fresh fuel and fuel conditioner...

My Dad learned the expensive way. Another problem with the VRO is when/if water gets in the oil tank. It goes unnoticed. The oil floats and since the pick-up sucks off the bottom the water goes first. Doesn't take long to do the damage. It was a mystery for awhile as to what caused the slow...

SleepyC: Cable steering has a habit of all of a sudden binding up or fraying from corrosion to the point that the motor suddenly can not be steered. The same for hydraulic steering if a seal fails and fluid is lost. It may be possible to hug the motors and try to steer them or fashion a...

Ever lose your steering? Just one more kicker advantage...

I have the same tabs. Many (me too) have used a fixed bracket called a mini-jacker. I have the swim step to port. Main is a Yamaha 80h.p. and the kicker is a Yamaha 15h.p. A few pics in my album show that it just barely clears the tabs by a few inches. I have a shim block under the kicker...

(question) I am most used to an open cockpit and the idea of being cooped up in a pilot house concerns me just a bit. I know id be grateful for it when the weather turns agin' us, but what about the nicest, hot summer in New England afternoons? Believe me, we feel the heat in the South...

Another stress to fenders is using them as a step in and out. When I work on the boat I climb in and out countless times a day. To help the fenders stress points, I wedge a wood block between the tire and fender for more ridged support. Wedge it in from the front side. If you forget to...

To hold the piece in position until the adhesive dries you can use a long 2x4 and a small bottle jack. Jack it up into position from the bottom for a test before applying adhesive. Or those long metal furniture clamps with the squeeze grip. They have nice rubber covers on the clamp ends...
