But she is going to need a few things,

I am hoping to get the bottom done??

Relying on my son for that as I have a rotor cuff I am trying to heal before the fish get here.

But here is something that has givin me a bunch of crap from the beginning!!

Power T & T, you see the piston cap on the left side, well you will notice that I have hammered the holes with a hammer and punch to get it real nice and tight.

First got the motor 4 years ago, cap came loose and lost all fluid.
Retighten and good for the season.

Next year the same and this time I replaced the O rings and again tighten the thing as tight as I dare hammer it!
Again no problem. Over the winter I removed the T&T motor and repainted all.

Use the boat 6 times last year and parked for the year! Went to my brothers Sun to get the boat went to raze the mmotor and nothing , was low on fluid and the cap was once again loose >:(

I know a few people with this vintage Yamaha and they all have had the same Left cap lossen up on them also?? But None like mine?? I called Yamaha and they were know help?

So if it was yours what would you do? I have been thinking of putting some Lock Tight on it, but affraid it might interfare with the O ring??

It doesn't take much Loc-Tite to be effective...just a little dab'l do ya!!...that's what I'd do ... ;)...

;D ;D ;DYank that old yamma and bolt on my Merc. :o
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Fair Trade : )

Hey MJ before that trade SINK IT lol

I had a mercury once , Only once!! will never own another!! I hope ???

Yea I think I might go the lock tight route, something better then nothing I guess.

I concur Loc-Tite it. Bill Mc ;D

Hey MJ, you probably know but if not would feel bad if I didn't say it. Lock Tight has diffrent colors for different apps, make sure you get the one that will allow you to take it off if need be

Thanks willy, but you are right, I knew ;)

Another vote for loc-tite.

Whew somebody's got the FEVER :o

You guys up north have too much money. Use poor mans lock tite, Try a dab of fingernail polish. always holds and always comes "unlocked" when you want it to. so far. plus great colors

don't tell Stinks ::) or he'll be painting everything pink to match his thongs. ;D

Is teflon tape a bad idea?
