re: Yamaha Outboard Service

It’s very likely something came unplugged- the last time I ran it was on the Tenn-Tom waterway on the wet test and then I towed it 400 miles down here. You are 100%- it could even be a vacuum hose.

The trim has me befuddled- all three switches work….same deal. They worked on the way home….because I played with how the motors would
ride. The trim motor comes on- on the engine, on the throttle, and on the individual switch on the throttle handle housing. Like it became air locked or something.

When I got home, I pulled a lot of the boat apart- gauges off to Gauge Saver, installed an i-pilot, redid the trailer, new 215 AIS VHF, a little refit.

Of course, just because I’m ready to use the damn thing now, it’s gonna act up.

Thanks everyone on the Outcast suggestions- I had called them before on an unrelated issue and the lady that I talked to was nice, but they seemed to be perpetually booked up.

I’m from the equipment world- a problem like mine could be taken care of by a road tech on Monday before lunch, Tuesday at the latest. I don’t get boat mechanics- or boat service departments.
