All, Thanks a lot. I will check the filters and fuel lines once I get the boat back home. I really appreciate the advice. Karl

I have a 2003 Yamaha 90. Until recently the engine was running well with no problems. A couple of weeks ago I left my dock and proceeded to get on plane. At around 2500-3000 RPms (just as it was coming up to plane) the motor seemed to rev, lose power and vibrate. I tried once again with the...

I agree that the quality is very nice. Do you know if there is a way to get the boat on the C-Dory logo in another color than red? I'd really like to get a cap and t-shirt that match my boat color (blue). thanks, Karl

You might look at www.breezebooster.com They have a wind scoop designed for powerboats without a halyard. Karl

Bill, Burgee arrived yesterday. Fantastic design. I really appreciate all of your efforts. We all know it was a great deal of work. Thanks for all you do. Karl

Well, at great shame, I can admit to a mistake bigger than Harvey's. I was distracted and instead of putting the nozzle on the gas can into the fuel inlet I put it into the rod holder. Fortunately I noticed my mistake after only a cup or so of gas went into the cockpit. Talk about feeling like...

Greg, Thanks so much. Ordered today. So glad that my office will have a reminder of my great boat and this great group. Karl

All, I thought I'd give an update to my original post. I finally got around to replacing the voltage regulator/rectifier on my 2003 Yamaha 90. There are a couple of lessons from this experience. First, if you need to remove the old V R/R then all you need to is remove the outer plastic...

Burnt out Yamaha 90 Voltage Reg/Rec

Well I got back to the boat. I charged the batteries up and the engine fired up immediately. I checked the voltage before (12.65V) and while running (~9-10V) so I assume that it is the regulator. The regulator looks fine (no obvious charring or burnt parts) but I did not remove it. I...

FWIW. I bought a stainless bimini frame for a full camperback from King Marine for $ 350 last Fall. Not too much over $200 for a quality product. Karl

One for me please. Karl

Thanks for all the help. I googled the problem a bit. It seems as if there is a known problem with the Yamaha voltage regulator/rectifier on the 2003 models. Looking back I think I recalled a hint of an electrical smell Saturday. Perhaps the voltage r/r went out and caused a short which...

This weekend I went to our lakehouse. I took my boat out for a short trip on Saturday afternoon without any incident. I had used my boat two weeks earlier and, like last time, the engine started without any issues. This morning the engine started fine and I left the dock. Shortly after...

FWIW. This is the boat in the book Landfall Along the Chesapeake by Susan Schmidt (cf., susanschmidt.net) Karl

All, I realize that this has been covered before but it is still a bit confusing to me. I am wondering about the proper hub temperature when towing. I repacked my bearing and recently did a short tow of about 70 miles. I have surge drum brakes and a tandem axle trailer for my 22 cruiser. The...

Jim, Thanks for the tip! If I can get to a gathering I owe you a beer. Sam, many thanks for pulling this together. The photos are really great. Karl

Thanks Joe. I got in contact with King Marine and I am sure they will be able to help. Thanks for the tip on the snap spacing. My boat must have had a Bimini at one point because their are rivets on the cabin edge ( the kind that stick up and have a turning swivel) as well as snaps along the...
