After blowing out my back on the memorial day trip I decided something has to change. So I ended up buying a tractor seat for $99 at my local tractor supply. I had to drill a couple extra holes in my existing seat base to mount my own captain chair to the tractor seat base (did not use the...

Posting this for a friend who is having a problem. He says the motor runs but won't run full throttle. Says nothing abnormal when running on the garden hose, but won't go full throttle on the water. It is not much but that's about all I know. He changed the plugs and says the throttle...

Day 1 left the dock around 4:30 am with my buddy and my daughter. Eased on out under a bright moon and welcomed a nice sunrise half way out to the break around 65 miles from the rocks. The plan was to troll until noon then drop back in to a spot in 120ft to bottom fish. Trolling was slow but...

Back story - I have an occasional fuel restriction that sucks my primer ball flat. This happens intermittently maybe 1 - 2 times per year. The restriction is between the h2o separator and the fuel pickup inside the tank. I believe there is some debris inside the tank...possibly a plastic...

I bought an additional above deck tank to fit under my bench seat. I bought a brass 3 way valve online. Hooked it all up - when I turn the selector know it spews fuel from the selector stem! So I got a refund, bought another brand at the local marine store. Hooked it all up - same sh!t...

So, this isn't my pic, but it is a very helpful pic posted by Destroyer (thanks D)when he replaced his V21 deck. You can see the fuel line running from the pickup at the front of the tank. There are cutouts in the bulkheads routing to the rear of the boat. If you look closely, you see the...

I'm looking at replacing the fuel lines from tank to fuel separator, fuel separator to primer bulb...Anybody tell me what size lines? I know it needs to be A1 rated for below deck installation. I was thinking 3/8 dia all the way around. Pretty sure that's whats in it now. Looking at 25ft...

I've noticed a very slow leak from it. Anybody dealt with this?

Left the dock at first light with my daughter and her boyfriend. First time out for him and only the 2nd time for her. Beautiful ocean with a comfortable ride out to 100' for a bottom trip. Air temp reached 80 + with 75 degree water temp in the deep. Fished 90 - 120 ft (50 miles from rocks)...

I mentioned this in my repair thread, but decided to start a new thread over here in performance on this subject. How about the new light weight good-on-gas in-line 4 cylinder 4 strokes by Yamaha? Looking at 150hp or 175hp (rather have 200 but not bad enough to spend thousands more. The...

I mentioned this in my spun prop thread but it needs its own thread. Motor= 2004 150hp Yamaha 2 stroke with ~1000 lovingly applied hours I need help. My tilt quit on me a couple weeks ago. Noticed the little cylinder cap on the right cylinder (takes a spanner or "pin" wrench) was loosened. I...

Went fishing this weekend. Truly a fishing trip with very little catching. Spun the prop about 8 miles out. Was still able to make about 6 knots. Got out the life jackets, called Sea Tow on the telephone to alert the local captain of the situation and that we were still able to make headway...

Murrell's Inlet Bottom Fishing Report 4/18 Headed down after work on Friday to do some fishing. Wasn't sure about the forecast with rain all over but the wife was having her girly time for her birthday this weekend......in my man cave! So, with me being kicked out of my humble abode, me and a...

I've been doing a lot of spring prep work on the V21 and 150 Yamaha. My question is about the sacrificial anodes. The trim tab anode is rather pitted - although I think it would still be ok for a bit more service. However when I pulled the trim tab bolt to drop the lower (replaced impeller) I...

I'm a little late on the report.....we spent 10 days in Hatteras, fishing 9 of the 10 days. We made it offshore 4 times and caught 33 dolphin and 1 bonita. 3 or 4 of the dolphin were over 20 lbs and the 2 biggest were 23 lbs. We fished inshore 5 times catching a lot of flounder but probably...

Model: 2004 Yamaha 150 two stroke model TXRC Which spark plugs NGK BR7HS or BR7HS-10? I believe it is the same plug only the -10 is gapped differently. Anybody know which I should get? Pretty sure my motor has BR7HS in it now but I'm at work. Worst case I can look when I get home tomorrow...

Forecast called for a decent weather window so after careful consideration, made the call to head out for some bottom fishing Sunday 5/4. Two buddy's headed down Friday and I loaded the boat and headed down Saturday afternoon. Hit the sack around 10:30ish and up around 4:15 am and had to make...

Just slightly too rough to head offshore.... Fished on my buddy's boat in the creeks. He fished solo on 4/17 and found some good red action which he put me on the next 2 days. Landed a total of 10 or so and a couple lost. Five in the slot. Also a few short flounder. It sure did get...

Anybody connect the wires (NMEA 0183 or 2000) between the units to enable DSC? If so how did you connect the wires? In my instance they aren't long enough plus they are just slightly larger than a human hair (ok maybe a little bit bigger than that). I am curious to know how to do this the...

I have an older 18 - 20 gallon tank, possibly Moeller, unsure of mfg. It is a below deck tank and I would like to modify it to use above deck to extend the range on the V21 which has the 60g below deck tank. The dimensions allow my spare tank to fit perfectly under the bench seat. The tank...
