Hey Kenny, it's Milton. Today I was on the boat and it would get enough power to get on plane. It wouldn't even go over 8 knots. Any thoughts?

all the parts came in, and it will be done today.

Hey Kenny,
If you get a chance if it isn't a big deal, could you tell me how many hours are on that motor.
Thanks

Hey Kenny,
This is Brian Kassinger. Just checking on when you think my E-tec will be done.
Thanks

Hey Kenny,
My name is Brian Kassinger. My boat is up at Emerald Coast Marine waiting to get looked at. 21' Cape Horn W/ 200 etec. BRP has contacted you about the repairs. The water pressure relief valve has cracked due to rusted (steel, not stainless steel) bolts. When you look at that, could you also look at my starter, it is all rusted and I am positive it is due to the salt water that has been spraying all over my motor. Could you let them know about that too, hopefully they will take care of this as a out of warranty service issue. Thanks in advance for the good work. I have heard nothing but good things about you on this forum.

Kenny, I was over at your place several times with the problem of the primer bulb not getting hard or staying hard and I even bought a new primer bulb from you and that didn't change things which I told you and you ask me which way the arrow was facing and I told you towards the motor, not once did you mention having the arrow pointing up. What's up with that? I'v never heard of having the primer bulb arrow pointing up before. Wouldn't the check valve work no matter which way it was pointing? Once the motor is running the bulb doesn't matter but when the motor is shut off then the bulb should stay relatively hard because the check valve would come into play again, correct. I guess you just have me confused with having the arrow pointing up.

Great seeing you again and thank you very much for all the outstanding advice regarding boat issues especially the fuels

Kenny,

You provided me with very helpful information regarding a trolling motor earlier this year. I was born and raised in Pensacola, but now live in Sarasota Florida and am running a 216 Key West Bay Reef with a 2003 Yamaha F225. Do you have any recommendations for service on the engine in this area. It is just the yearly maintenance. My other question is in reference to the engine. I have read horror stories about corrosion in exhaust of these engines. Is this a common problem, or is it a rare occurrence. I only have 400 hours on the engine and usually run it in the 3800 to 4000 rpm range. Is there a way for the mechanic to check for this item? Thank you for all of your help.

Thanks for the reply on the hatch lift. I'll measure it this week-end and let you know.

Kenny, just wanted to say thanks for the advice on the Rinker that I just bought, and helping me find the right parts for it. Jason
