Yamaha is offering the F300 with a 35-inch shaft length in their F300 with electronic shifting. The others will probably be close behind.

Yamaha literature wrote:Shaft lengths available: 25”, 30” and 35” (35” on F300 DEC only)

Thank you very much for the offer Rich and I will let you know. I do have hub kits for the Yamaha, both Flo-Torq II and Solas/Rubex #203. Was your T-top cloth material or fiberglass?

Hi Archie. [Total crew weight associated with the anecdotal performance data reported above was] probably about 850-lbs. There were two were small children and five adults aboard. There was no gear on board other than safety gear. We just grabbed the LASER 19-pitch propeller on the way to launch whe...

When you get your Whaler, a location to start measuring for separating the lifting bunks would be the width from outside of the transom splashwell drain holes and across to the inside of the lifting eyes on each side. That should get it. Look at some pictures of the 15' classic transom in the refere...

On my 21 JUSTICE with Yamaha F300 I am going to try a Yamaha SWS II 19-pitch propeller soon. I have a borrowed Mercury Laser 19 now just to bring the boat home, and performance was poor all around. I did not try much of anything, just running home from the ramp. Seven on board and 50 gallons fuel. B...

Thru-hull fittings look good so far, though they will be replaced with stainless probably next time on the trailer. The cockpit floor boxes both have 1-1/4-inch bronze thru-hull fittings which are capped. Not sure what I will do with them, maybe a washdown or livewell pump. Stern splash well drains ...

Thanks Jim, the lower unit serial number is unique unto itself, however in the Yamaha computer system entering the engine (powerhead number) or this new lower unit number ,reveals the other one and shows my name and address as owner and my Extended Warranty info.

Hi, battery isolator is what Yamaha calls their aux battery lead. I believe the the fuse included in the kit protects the wiring and the service manual states the aux lead output at a max of 70 amps @ 12v. The reset able fuse is located near to the aux battery, and the other lead from the engine is ...

The dive door just fits that well into the opening to look sealed and it still has all its original sealing rubber and clamps. I doubt it was ever used much. The original custom short bungee cords to hold/store the door when removed into two chocks on deck were still sealed in a bag in the owners po...

Butch, a bilge pump connected directly to the battery has another switch of some type somewhere to act upon the presence of water or it would run all the time.

FOR HAWAIIAN WHALER Q: Can you share the info you received from Boston Whaler regarding the transom scuppers? The transom scuppers were probably used on many models for many years.

dtmackey -- the OP never mentioned "homemade" in his post. He did ask for opinions on a few of his ideas which he listed. I gave him my opinion on the one idea of his involving obvious fraud. No "rush to judgement", and the law seems clear to me. Many stolen trailers come back to...
