    300 HP on a 2120?

    Not saying I am doing it, but looks to me that the 300 HP Yammy V6 Four Stroke Offshore only weighs 558 pounds vs my current single 150 HP Four Stoke which weighs 476 pounds so WEIGHT WISE I could double my HP for 82 pounds. Amazing. Naturally, my transom could end up embedded in my back, but...

    Lazyman Lenco Upgrade to 12X18

    I installed my new Lenco 12X18 tabs without moving the rams or disconnecting any cables or gel coating any areas. I simply let 6 inches of the tab stay outboard and the other 12 inches are inboard. Makes the most effective use of the tabs. See photos. I bought new 12X18 Lenco tabs with the...

    ECK prevents galvanic/electrolysis corrosion?

    Be interesting to see what this product (ECK) really does on boats. They are saying: "Boaters have tried everything to prevent corrosion.

    Talking to Yamaha about a minor oil leak on my 150 somehow lead into a discussion of the Yamaha Reliance props. Just wonder if anyone has tried one of the Reliance props? I mentioned that at WOT I would porpoise & the only way to dampen it was to lower the motor or the trim tabs both actions...

    150 Yahama 4s small oil leak jus before and after firing up.

    As I raise (or lower) my boat into the water from my lift, a small sheen from an oil leak comes out from around the motor skeg. It stops afer a bit.
