Thanks for the response to my Yamaha 150 problrm. The model number of my motor is F150TXRD and the serial number is 63PX-1023123. To answer your question about the fuel bulb, it is soft when the engine appears to run out of fuel in 5 - 10 minutes. After I pump it until it is firm, the engine...

I have a 2005 Parker 21SE with a 150 hp Yamaha which I keep near the Outer Banks, NC on a lift. The hurricane Irene destroyed my dock and lift but my boat was safely on its trailer. I did not run it for a few months except several times on the trailer with a hose attachment while the lift was...

I spilled fuel additive (PRI-G) on my Parker seat, which appears to be leather but may be a synthetic material. Any tips on removing bthe dark stain would be appreciated.

I have a 2005 Parker 21SE on which I installed a jack plate after talking with an engineer at Parker, who recommended installing a backing plate (which I bought through the Parker dealer for about $190.00) and recommended Bob's Machine Shop (www.bobsmachine.com). I had it installed this spr[ng...

I have a 2005 Yamaha 150 4-stroke on my 2005 Parker 21SE. I would like to know how to adjust (tighten) the throttle friction on my Model 704 throttle assembly. I see no adjustment cover plate or adjustment screw on the 704.

I have a 2005 21SE and plan to replace the batteries. The shop foreman at Manteo Marine in Manteo, NC recommends starting batteries to replace the deep cycle batteries that came on the boat, which I purchase new. I would appreciate hearing thoughts and recommendations on what type battery to...

Danielb.....Maybe a photo and someone else might recognize it to clue us in on the manufacturer???? Thanks,

Porkchunker.....Couldn't agree with you more!

Thanks PorkChunker....This was to be my weekend project before going to Bulgaria (tomorrow).....Anyway, got to my place Saturday morning and found a huge maple tree across my entrance road......VHF/FM/GPS must wait for a couple of weeks......Spent all weekend on the wrong end of a chainsaw. :cry:

Checked WalMart here in VA - no barkeepers Friend.....Ordered it from the company's website.....4 cans $12 free shipping UPS :lol: http://www.barkeepersfriend.com/index2.htm

Just saw on Fox News that Bush's rating is the lowest ever - 31%. Sure heck isn't any mystery to me - all the Dems hate his existence so what does he do - pi$$ off the only supporters he has by pushing this amnesty crap. Wish we could believe Fred Thompson is real, but I fear he too will...

Capt. I have two new 750Amp Hour batteries from West Marine....Just topped both off last weekend - both read 12.3 volts.

One little added note here after reading much theory on the effective use of trim tabs.....Tabs to set the plane of the boat, then trim the prop to make the prop push parallel to the water's surface - getting the most MPH per RPM at the proper plane is the normal objective :D That goes out the...

Thanks Capt. Kevin......Looks like time to find the retailers and break out the old credit card. Armstrong vs. Windline. Sounds like I'll need a new swim platform and a ladder - more holes in the boat :shock:

Thanks mucho FF.....I'll check the Armstrong ones out - anyone else with a suggested approach?

Hey - Thanks Sandpiper..... I'm determined to defeat this thing but I'll have to get my hands on the boat this weekend and then again when I get back to the bay 3 weeks from now. I'll let you all know what the ultimate solution is when I uncover it. Couple of things on the antenna...

Took the old swim platform / ladder off as I was putting on Dale's recommended Bennett Trim Tabs.....Patched all the holes and now it's time to consider a replacement (wouldn't put the old one on a 1940 Jeep it's so ugly / rusted). Recommendations - please. Using the motor to climb aboard...

Ohhhh man....When you two (FF & Dale) go at it, the fun is in the reading! :lol: I've tried the Soft Scrub with bleach route - Nope - too many applications needed....Now I'll try the "Lazy Yankee" approach.....Barkeepers Friend...... Dale hasn't steered me wrong yet and never threatened to...
