    Engine issue

    Sorry I jumped in a little late here but on my 200 mercury it would rev up when the alternator engaged as I believe it had a very large output. The voltage jumping around from 14.1 to 14.7 rapidly sounds like the alternator cycling on and off rapidly?

    I just finished reparing my yamaha tilt trim system as well. What happened with mine is it was fully operational except that the seal at the top of the ram where it exits the housing was corroded and it had swelled from seawater crystalizing behind it. This locked the piston inside the assembly...

    I grabbed a cheapo King Canada Rotary polisher from KMS tools awhile back and its a bit heavier in weight but it has variable speed and did a nice job for a little under half the price of the Makita.

    What Did You Do To Your Boat This Week?

    I bought a cheapo King Canada 7" Multi Speed Polisher from KMS tools, It was half the cost of the Makita and does the job. Usually I am one to buy the top of the line tool and have it for a very long time but the no name brand has worked well on the boat, Always a great idea to have some money...

    ISO - 2010 9.9 Yamaha Trim Motor or Complete Assembly

    Some progress has been made for anyone in a similar situation such as Fish Brain. I took the tilt motor to an automotive electric repair shop. He determined the motor was shot and needed replacement. He found a motor for around $200 out of Ontario this is a far cry from the $600 I was quoted...

    Zinc on my pod?

    Hey Duroboat, I had a pod intalled on my boat a few years ago by Jenkins marine and I was advised that the zincs arent neccessary but I wonder if that is true. Mine is also powder coated and I am in the same boat as you. Its cheap insurance to avoid corrosion issues and I plan to use Bryces...

    Outboard Power for 21’ walkaround

    I can vouch for the 3.4L V6 Merc as I have some hours on mine since I purchased it new, The boat is a 1996 20'6 DE. I received quotes for both the Yamaha I4 and the Mercury and they came in at almost identical prices I couldnt say no to the extra displacement. I believe the Mercury weighs very...
