In your picture, the two large aluminum phillips screws that I tightened are below the springs and somewhat hidden behind the black outer ring that the rubber boot attaches to. They are somewhat...
My 07 21i did that and there are two phillips screws that need to be tightened with a long handle screwdriver after you pull back the rubber boot. I would check that first. Bill
I have a 21i w/250, Crotonized 25t1 prop and run 1/2 above pad with my Atlas jack plate raised all the way up. I lower it some for coming out of the hole though as it will rev slightly as it gets on...
Check your livewell pumps. The casing might have cracked. I've had both crack in the last year. Bill
I had the same tire do it twice in about 500 miles of travelling. Cracked two rims (at $225 apiece) and flat spotted both tires, one brand new. My mechanic put longer bolts all the way through the...
Mine burns almost two gallons of oil/50 gallons of fuel at wide open operation.
It is actually two screws that you need to tighten. Take of the black plastic cover around the base of the steering wheel and tighten the two phillips screws. Easy fix. Bill
I built my own out of aluminum and saw zero increase in hole shot numbers. I didn't do it for backwash. Just give your boat some throttle just before it starts to sit down in the water. Bill

I have had two lower units do that. One on an 06 boat/motor and one on my current 07. Both times Yamaha warranty replaced my lower unit and destroyed my B&B props. The current 07 l/u has a two...

I recently had a 100 hour service completed (motor has 200 hours on it) and the mechanic forgot to reset my indicator so every time I start my motor, it reads 103 or 104 and so forth. Instead of...
Hold down both buttons simultaneously for about two seconds and you can reset the miles. The gallon usage resets the same way. If I remember right, if you hold both buttons too long, your backlight...

Cabelas has a nice AGM that has both the MCA and RC needed for the HPDI. I had mine for about two years now and no problems. Bill
If you kick it into neutral it won't backwash either. The boat doesn't sit down as fast. Had to do it when I realized I was only running off of one tank instead of both. Oops.
Second one I've had it happen to. Different motors of course.
I had a warranty replacement lower unit (brand new) put on my boat (Skeeter 21i)due to the old one piece thrust washer moving up the shaft and allowing the prop to eat into the lower unit housing. ...
I have a new T&H Atlas hydraulic jack on my 21i and love it. I added the digital gauge by my key switch as well. Looks clean.
I love my I boat. I had a ZX prior to this one and the ride in the I boat is way better in rough water. The ZX was fast but I'll take a smooth ride in rougher water over one or two miles per hour...
I have the black and the blue one. It runs a little short in the length and you will get wet if it rained. It is more of a light wind breaker also. Bill
A very good Yamaha mechanic in Phoenix told me that Yamaha's are known for overheating when idling for a long time. He said to always idle with the motor level and periodically give it some throttle...
Mine did the same as wbass. Dealer fixed it, no problems after. Bill
