Hello I am having the boat towed back to the yard that did the work. The noise has grown from something that I really didn't notice at first to being so bad that I can not even drive it. I'm wondering if maybe they broke one or more of the bolts that holds the lower unit on... Or what if the...

The sound and vibration is not metal against metal...It seems like it must be the impeller rubbing against something shaking the entire engine and boat.... I use this boat in my business and right now it's just get it fixed...I will take photos of everything as we go along.... bill

Hi My on going engine problems. I took my boat to a local northwest dealer who charged me $600 to replace an impeller.OUCH!!!! But since that was done my boat shakes rattles and rolls so much that it sounds like the transom is going to fall off whenever I put it in gear....I called the company...

where is the O 2 sensor located? Can I unplug it? thanks bill

I have a small oil leak coming from the gasket that is located under the pulley on top of the engine. I think that some oil is being sucked into the air filter...Could this throw -off the O2 sensor. Checking on line it seems that the O2 sensor is mentioned often in situations like...

Hi I have a honda 135 on my c-dory with 2200 hours. This season ( it seems that the problem started right after having the engine serviced but I can't be sure the problem didn't start before having the engine worked on???) but the temp alarm suddenly goes off when I bring the boat to neutral...

I have been calling and leaving messages at EQ Marine for over a month and have yet to receive a call back. Does anybody know if they are still in business? thanks Bill

I found a new carburetor online for $385 through boats.net. We use the dinghy and the outboard in our boating business so a future screw-up with a rebuild would cost us a lot more money and also create some angry customers. Thank you everybody for your input... bill www.vidaysailing.com

Hi My mechanic, who I think is a very honest person said that the parts to rebuild one and his time would be almost as much as just buying a new one...I am just wondering if there are better places to buy one then just leaving it up to him...I'm doing this homework trying to save some $ thanks

Hi My mechanic tells me I need a new carburetor for my 1997 Yamaha 20 outboard. Seems water sat in the carb while it was stored for 6 months even though I ran the fuel out before putting it away for the season. The quote for a new carb was over $500...any thoughts about where I might be able to...

My c-dory 25 with a 135 honda came with a three bladed stainless 141/2 x 15 prop. I used that prop for a few years putting about 600 hours on it before trying a 151/2 by 13 aluminum three blade prop. I have put about 1400 hours on the new prop. Last week I hit a dead head and had to put the old...

Basically it just started running really rough...so I knew something wasn't right because the engine had been flawless before that...So I took it to a dealer who told me I needed a value done because carbon had built up. I asked him why he thought this happened and he told me because I was using...

Hi I'm just curious if anybody has any idea how many hours I should be able to get out of my 135 honda...I realize that a lot of variables play into this but basically I use my boat almost daily for about 5 months then put her away for the season. I do all the regular maintenance and don't...

I am looking to buy a back-up outboard for the 135 Honda that is currently on my boat. So I am just putting this out there in-case somebody would have or know of a used engine somewhere. I don't think it has to be a honda although that would be better. The engine needs to be located in the...
