Ok so this is where I show I dont know jack about outboards....(dont know much about I/O's either) When we talk about cleaning the carbs, are we taking them apart and cleaning? putting some cleaner in with the gas and running them? I'll start doing some searches! thanks for all the kind words.

If the boat has sat for any period of time to speak of, then the carbs should be removed and disassembled. Then properly cleaned in a carb dunk cleaner, and with the age of that outboard carb kits with floats would be a good idea. If your not very handy, find a friend that is. I've done quite a few multi carb engines, and they come easy for me. But I know that most shops curse the YAMAHAS when it comes time to do the carbs. Try and find a friend that may have some experience with carbs.

don't soak outboard carbs too long in carb cleaner, it may open up porosity and cause issues. Most outboard guys use Mercury Power Tune to clean carbs. I've been using purple stuff(diluted wityh some water, but still be care full about leaving them in there for long). Harbour Freight sells a sonic cleaner that does an outstanding job of cleaning small parts

I'm surprised the Pilot can actually handle the weight of the V; what are the specs on the Pilot as far as towing?

Pilot is rated for 4500 lbs, one of the things I checked before buying. They do recommend/require you to add a transmission oil cooler if you are going to tow. Fortunately mine had it already. Like I said I really think it tows better than my Silverado. (albeit it is only a 3/4 ton with a 6 cyl)
