I'm thinking of having a cockpit cover made. Just trying to keep leafs out and keep it cleaner. Something that would attach to the two brackets that connect the rod holder to the hardtop and/or straps up to the handrails on the hard top. I have a walkaround but u pilot house guys could do the...

I'm interested in seeing what other find is the best rpm (range) to cruise at. Thanks. Chris.

I have the square yamaha guages and I'm wondering what other owners see as s normal engine temp reading. My gauges have 5 positions and she run at position 3 or 4 when pushed hard. I understand the round yamaha guages have 6 position. Just trying to see what temp reading is normal. I have a...

Scott. Thanks for the recommendation. The guys at prop gods were great. I got a 4 blade merc they recommended and the difference is amazing. They were right in the money with rpm /mph and how it bites.

How can I find out what prop I should use. Bought the motor used and not sure what prop I should use. I put my 25 year old 17prop from my old 2stroke motor and she will go over 6,000rpms with it.

I have a 1991 Parker 25' that I'm putting a used 2006 Yamaha 250 on. Here's what the job entails: Remove shrink wrap boat Unload the new motor from my utility trailer (motor is on a motor pallet). Pull the old motor off the boat and pull old wiring and shift/throttle cables out of the boat...

I purchased the 2006 250 hp 4 stroke Camron found. I made the 3 hour drive out yesterday and we did a compression test, pulled the lower unit and checked for corrosion, and ran it on a hose. We also hooked it up to the computer and verified hours 605. 290 were under 2000 rpms. Looking forward...

Thanks for all the replies... I'm going to call on that 4 stroke in LI... I found a set of twins in NJ that are in good condition and owned by a friend of a friend. I may buy both and sell one but...that's more than I want to do.

I just called on the Yamaha in LI.... sounds like a good deal but...it's only a 25" shaft...keep them coming!

That looks like a great deal.... unfortunately I need a 30" shaft... thanks for posting.

I have a 1991 Parker 25 - walkaround... currently has the original 250 hp 2stroke. Looking for something used. I've been told to stay away from the hpdi motors and I know the 1st generation 2 stroke yamahas have issues.... am I correct? do others agree? So...I've been looking for a used...

I'm looking for a used motor, can't afford new right now. It's going on my 1991 Parker 2510 mv. Let me know what you have and where you are located. Thanks, Chris

Call Burce Dawson here in NJ... he does tons of trips to/from FL and your area. I've been dealing with him for about 20 years and there is no one that I trust more. 609-226-3788

I've posted a few times about my old 2 stroke yamaha running poorly. After trying new filters, new plugs, new fuel lines, dunks sea foam treatment and running on a aux 6 gal tank all with no luck, I tried some marvel yesterday. She ran the best she has all summer. I guess it confirms my engine...

Dale When you say to give the carbs a good cleaning, do you think I should rebuild them or use a spray? Also what would you do to tune the motor?
