Thank you sir. I have some TW hybrid solutions spray on ceramic wax with black pigment that I’ll never use on my truck again and it says good for plastic even glass. I just took my old TM and taped off an area and applied it and on the other side Cerakote ceramic trim coating. I left it sit for...

I just replaced my old Minn Kota endura max with a Traxxis 55. I was wondering can I use a ceramic wax on the motor it’s self also I have a product called Cerakote that’s for plastic trim on vehicles that’s good for protection and keeps a lot of dust etc from sticking? Can I use it on the...

Black and pink with purple led lights on the black parts.

Well. My wife’s tired of hearing about the boat. All my friends no better than to ask about the boat or fishing except the one that fishes with me. When I’m excited about something I’ll ramble on. I’ve tried to keep my post shorter but keep thinking of things I want to share. One takes me to...

I had an old 14’ Sears v hull I traded a 22 for. I sold it to a man and he was so happy for sentimental reasons he explained to me. I used rattle cans and here’s what it looks like now.

The new OEM trim tab will be here the 15th. I got to thinking I’ve already cleaned it once I need one that I know is doing it’s job.

The power head itself looks good after I cleaned it up there’s a couple of small spots that had corrosion. After a good detailed cleaning (I’m talking down to using qtips) I hit the whole thing with fluid film. Yes it’s a little messy if you have to do anything to it later but I put on some...

When I got the boat the bottom had a thick black coating. Didn’t take long it started to chip off. Every time I took it out more came off. I thought it would be a good idea to strip it and coat it with something to protect it. They have some nice stuff and it makes the hull slick too. But it’s...

Hello everyone, Been having trouble on line so this may be a double post. My wonderful wife ask me to put together a complete list for finishing my boat in order of importance such as bunk etc. I’m listing and shopping so I have cost of everything. I’m at the bottom of the hull now. I’ve found...

I just saw this. Looks like a bracket I made for mounting a bow mounted TM. Which I was planning on in the future. I built another mount for the transom mount I reversed the head on . Then later was going to remove it and put the bow mount right on.

No gage on the old one. And yesterday while trim the cracked ends off the hoses was the first time I’ve ever seen any water and it was minimal but witted weather lately I had moisture get into everything It could. the new tank I had fuel in it with vent closed because it vent itself after so...

That’s what had me scratching my head and I figured with all th rain and the air just stayed super damp between showers that little bi of water found it’s way through the fittings or cracks in the hose. I understand about loosing the mix. I have an old style portable poly tank with manual vent...

I have a post about fuel ratio but this deserves it’s own because it’s proof being active with preventative maintenance pays off. I’m big on taking care of things. Especially if it has an engine. This one almost got pass me. When I started my rebuild the first thing I did was install a fuel...

Sorry for the double post my device has been having trouble on the forum and sometimes it blink and all is lost. Thanks Pappy I always appreciate you chiming in. I’m planning on doing the best I can to talk to an actual technician. I understand what you’re saying and appreciate the heads up. Im...

Thank you Pappy. Your advice is always appreciated. I’m about to start a new post about some fuel samples I took today. Would you look at it and chime in sir? I was going to talk about it here im going to be pretty detailed about what all I found.

By the time I got around to calling Yamaha today I missed them. Due to the time difference. I have a ton of things to do before I go fishing and it’s eating me up. The lake I like to fish is an hour away. I called the marina to get the down low with all the rain. Water was coming back up , the...

I can sure try to tune them in a little more. I had a hunch about the jet size. never had a chance to call Yamaha today but planning on it tom Because it’s looking like my birthday present will be here Monday and that leaves me with a couple of days I’d really like to be fishing.

I already have a browser open for them with the phone numbers sir. I’ll make sure I have my serial number handy and call them tomorrow. I’m hoping they don’t clam up on me and just tell me I need to replace the tank and pump that was removed. When I got the boat I found an empty green can of...

Man that’s sad I hate it when people steal another man’s things. I had a gun stolen that had a lot of sentimental value stolen when I was in my 20’s and I was devastated. Then a week later I couldn’t find an Abu Garcia 5,000 that my grandfather had owned for years . He took great care of...

I don’t know how valid it is but after I posted this I found more information that said the carburetors on the outboards made for 100:1 mix actually have different jets. And that would cause 50:1 ratio to not burn properly at idle. When I first start mine it smokes right away for just a second...
