But don't you feel all warm and gushy inside protecting all them undocumented individuals and providing them sanctuary? I do hope my sarcasm came through.

You can IF you properly isolate the batteries from each other. RV's routinely use lead acid batteries for starting and agm for the house loads. They install an isolator so the alternator charges each battery bank individually off of 1 alternator. Or you can run a dc to dc charger or charging...

Just because you can, does not meen you SHOULD. Deep cycles can give high amperage loads when needed for starting, but any good deep cycle battery is designed to put out low to moderate amperage amounts for longer periods of time. Using true deep cycle batteries for cranking WILL shorten the...

Yes, a 14-14.5" diameter. I was thinking higher pitches where diameter goes down. 17 is the generally accepted starting pitch for a 150-175 hp 2 stroke from those that run them on these hulls. Stainless does good in silty muddy water where aluminum where get eroded and worn away in no time. If...

17 pitch stainless 3 blade in around a 13 1/2" diameter would be my reccomendation. If you step up to a 15" prop, drop down to a 15 pitch. That's a lower rpm looper, iirc wot should be 5000-5500 on it(or 5600 since it's a 175hp). I think a 19 pitch is going to be too much pitch for it. Another...

I was gonna say it sure sounds like a plugged air bleed or something.

I'm not really up on Yamaha's, but all the square plug guages I've seen have been for 2 strokes, not 4 strokes.

I havent seen it posted recently. I just put em up when I see them.

On those engines the stator has 2 sides iirc. A slow speed and high speed winding. When the stator starts to fail, it will cut out when they switch over, and do what you describe. Bad switch boxes will also do it.

You have to cut the deck open to get to it, hence why most go back with deck mounted tanks.

My only guess is it may have a vent that closes when liquid enters it. A vent normally will just let gas come out if you overfill it, but I don't know if new vents may close off when liquid enters them to prevent fuel spillage. All of my past boats would just push gas out the vent if they were...

Could be your shift interupt switch failed. If the shift interrupt switch doesn't kill the engine while shifting, the dogs on the gears tend to lock in gear. Go back to the engine and find where the shift cables connect(should be on the stbd exhaust manifold). Look for the switch and you'll see...

Yep, that's a 77 or older cap. I still remember the one in Texas with twin 130's on a V-20 cuddy. I always thought a pair of 90HP Yamaha 2 strokes would work well on a V-20.

Came across this on craigslist. I know he had it for sale in 2012, don't know if he ever sold it then or not, but it's up on craigslist now for $4K. https://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/boa/d/21-ft-wellcraft-voptimax-150/6506168831.html His for sale thread from 2012...

Not right now there isn't.

It aint anymore.

In my opinion, it's not good to turn them on out of the wzter. It's okay to do it just for a few seconds to turn it to simulator mode, but I wouldn't do it for more than a few seconds to do that. I was told by them before it wouldn't hurt them, but I see no reason to take a chance.

Pay CLOSE attention when you do them to get ALL the fuel circuits cleaned out when you do them. Some of those carbs have 4 fuel circuits(my Honda had 4, talk about a PITA). Sometimes there will be 2 or even 3 fuel pickups for the jets too, so make sure you get them all.

I don't have a need, I just wouldn't mind having them to fix and flip. Unfortunately right now I'm stuck at home with no way around, and a body that's given up on me.

I wish I could get these, but right now has turned into a bad time.
