    Well given your wrench spinning abilities, I would figure you could buy it without power and drop in some "Big Red" developed power. ;) -Chris

    Overheating problem

    Yeah, it's pretty similar to an outboard change. You're best to buy a complete waterpump kit and then change out the impeller and the rest of the related parts. If you don't change out the other parts at the same time, it can wear the impeller out prematurely and then you're back at square...

    Overheating problem

    In the first picture that I posted, that is the main water pickup. That's definitely an area you want to make sure is clean of debris. The other one with the small hole in the leading edge of the skeg I believe is for the speedo pickup. The third picture is a bit hard to tell exactly what...

    Overheating problem

    Hi 204, Yeah, whether it's outboard or I/O they both have impellers. It's located in the lower end of the drive unit and it looks like a little fan of sorts. What is does, is it drives water up and into the motor. And what can happen is that over time it starts to dry out and the blades can...

    Hey Tom, If you let me know what kind of boat it is exactly, I'll make a gallery category for you and you can upload them to the gallery. I realize it's a Sea Fire, but what brand is it? Let me know and I'll help you get going. I'd like to see your boat. :) -Chris

    Overheating problem

    Hi 204, The hole you're talking about on the prop, it sounds like it might be a ventalation hole. Some props have those built into them and you can then plug them or leave them open. That way, you can more or less play around a bit with the prop for performance purposes. As far as the...

    Speed -vs- prop(s)

    Normally what you want to do is prop your boat, so when you're at wide open throttle (WOT) your motor is running in the max rpm range for it. Not below it, not over it. As far as pulling tubes etc. typically more blades are better than less. The disadvantages of more blades is a loss of top...

    Yamaha C85 overheating

    I know on my Merc, the sensors are integrated into the ignition system. So it's therefore not uncommon when you have a ignition issue to get issues with the warning horns or oil alarms etc. A couple years ago, mine was doing exactly what you described. That being, it would run, but once I...
