Re: 1989 SPORT 15 Decal Placement Diagram

The ones that are on there are a second set by previous owner and located too far forward.

SPORT 15 Electrical Connector for Navigation Lamp

I bought a [1989] SPORT 15. The plug for the [aft navigation lamp] and the [lamp] itself are both female ends, and there is no way to plug them to each other. Never seen that before.

Is there a connector manufactured that converts one to a male end so that they can connect?

I have called some of the larger cover manufactures and all seem to make a universal type cover that will fit but not made to fit a 1989 15 Sport.

Re: 1989 Yamaha 70-HP

Jim--one more thing: this [1989 Yamaha 70-HP engine] has a oil pump in it for the mixture.

Do you know if the engine has a safety shut-off built in if the pump goes bad or runs out of oil (as opposed to frying itself)?

1989 SPORT 15 v. SUPER SPORT 15

I bought a 1989 Whaler that was sold as a SUPER SPORT but I actually think it is a SPORT.

Is there a 100-percent definitive way to tell the difference [between SPORT and SUPER SPORT models?]

I was told seat configuration is the difference.

HIN is BWC3924 C989.
