Top RPM FOR YAM FS IS 6500 RPM, SO YOU ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO PROPER RPM. Something seems wrong with these numbers. And 54 MPH - real hard to believe. Sorry.

Agree w/ Porkchunker. Likely just a prop seal tho'.

Way underpowered IMO. For the most part you will generally get better gas mileage with a larger motor not working too hard than a marginal motor working at the top of its range.

Before you mount that external speaker, you may want to experiment on various locations to determine what if any effect it will have on your compass. 3 Ft maybe not too much; closer and I have seen as much as 5-10 degrees of variation, depending on the distance and the magnet size of the...

Used Parkers are few and far between in So cal- and the West Coast in general. I ran out of time and patience so I bought my 2002 2310WA w/F200 Yamaha Used from Delaware Marine Group in Dewey Bch, DE off the Boat Trader. Strait Internet deal- never went out there. Had it dragged out here for a...

I would recommend against bottom painting your boat if the most it will be in the water is 7-10 days in a row. Aside from the (considerable) expense, most typical ablative bottom paints are applied with a roller. This will leave a relatively rough bottom surface which will slow the boat down...

I looked high and low for a 2310 with the bracket as I do not like the notch. The intrusion of the motor into the cockpit on the notch just takes up too much cockpit space IMO. We use the transom fishbox as a cooler, further saving space. Also if you dive, the large swimstep formed by the...

I like the big white Sierra 10 micron filter for 1/2 the price of the yamaha...why pay for the name?

Shorts Marine, Millsboro, Del.

Had one; would buy again- not avail. in Kalifornia...

Yamaha Ring-Free. This is Yamaha 101- surprised your dealer has not recommended it. Spendy but good.

Niiice , huh?

Actually, reread your post. You would be best served by stepping up to the plate and getting the Teleflex/Seastar KEVLAR lines. Spendy, but THE BEST-in terms of toughness and longevity. :oops:

Aeroquip hose and fittings. You will prob. have to go to a specialty "hot rod" shop to get these. They can fabricate anything.
