If someone could help me…. I’m having the work luck trying to find this. I have a 1997 Yamaha T9.9ELRV. I need a new carburetor, Yamaha doesn’t make the full assembly anymore. I know other company’s make cheaper replacement carbs. But I can’t find one for the live of me!!!

Check out my progress!! I’m starting to get close!! https://youtu.be/3z5cLu9yoqA

So when I replaced the fuel pump it worked perfect the first time I ran it. It then started leaking but it still ran that first time. Then when I took it out the next time the same thing happened and the engine cut out. Take a look at these. The first is the old fuel pump, the second is the...

That would work with the old fuel pump. The first time I had it out with the new fuel pump it didn’t need that but started leaking oil of the fitting also out of 2 of the hose connectors on the new fuel pump.

My motor acted up all of last year and with the upcoming season I want to get it fixed. I called around to all of the Marine Mechanics in my area and no one would either call me back or had any availabilty because of a lack of labor. So hopefully with the help of this forum I can diag and fix...

Lmao. My fault I thought it uploaded.

I purchased plywood for my boat deck. And now I’m paranoid that I may have bought pressure treated wood. This is the only logo I can find. Can anyone advise if this is pressure treated or not. Thank you so much.

Yes it is below the water line.

Installing Livewell on my boat. I have a hole drilled from the previous Livewell. The hole is bigger than that fitting I’m using. Will this be okay?

I’m thinking about using a Flex Auger Bit from Klein. It’s made for wood so I do think it will damage anything. Also some of the foam in there is not wet.

I have these rivets ribs in the hull of my boat thst are filled with foam. There isn’t really a way to get in there and remove this pour foam. The foam around the holes is wet/moist . Is this something I should be concerned about?

Currently working on a project boat. Aluminum 1996 Spectrum. Noticed this on the inside of my hull when I removed the pour foam. What’s the smartest way for me to handle this!?!?

Thanks MN

Thanks Dale! Anyone think I’ll run into any issues cranking and 9.9HP with a deep cycle instead of a cranking? Should I isolate my batteries or run them parallel?
