plugs all replaced

Bulbs not replaced, it’s on the list to try. They are mostly vertical. Never considered the hull vent. Tried portable tank. However, that was before replacing most of the engine pumps an filters. Haven’t tried it since. No idea is a bad one at this point. Thanks.

2004 Yamaha 225 4s. Won’t throttle past 4 k. Changed all filters from external water separator to injector filters. Changed VST and pickup pumps. Idle is fine and throttle is good up to about 3800. Tank has been run near dry and fresh fuel. Been happening for several months intermittently. Boat...

I got the key code off the fixture and ordered replacements on eBay for pretty cheap

Search on eBay. Stainless gas shocks. The vendor is strut-your-stuff-here. I just bought some from him a couple weeks ago. About 25.00 each. Has a good selection and good service.

I use seafoam. 15 year old 225s. Just had compression test and was at 140 at each cylinder. I’m not sure if that is a great number, but it is consistent across all cylinders. For 250 gallons it is not much cheaper than ring free though. I use about 2 gallons of saefoam at a time Benefit for me...

if anyone is having problems with their power trek/marinetek shift and throttle control system, I have the parts from my old one. The system is complete. Could possibly be missing a wire or so, but i think I got them all. We are pretty sure that the only faulty part of the system is the...

They have an aluminum frame

finally Fixed the shift issue. my upper station shift was bad. Unfortunately, the shift system, as many here are aware, is no longer made or supported. I had to dish out a ton of cash for the SeaStar i7700 shift system. Hope to have it in the water next weekend. While on the trailer, it seems...

Anyone have any parts for the tek-marine multiple helm station controller system. I’m pretty sure the potentiometers that mount to the bottom of my 704 Yamaha controls levers have gone bad.

How hard are the windows to remove?
