I havea 2005 2120SC and the horns have weep holes at the bottom. I shoot some WD40 through a long tube untill it comes out the holes. Horn has been fine. Ray

That pump was run dry. The white pump housing was melted by heat from friction. The impeller also got heated. The good news is that it looks like no parts of the impeller or pump housing got into the water passages in the engine. I have seen the exact same thing before. The water level at a...

I have the 2120 sport cabin with the F150. Motor bolts are in the second hole from the top. Performance is just about what Yamaha shows on their tests with wide open at 5400-5500 rpm with either the 13 3/4 X 17 prop or the 14 1/4 X 16. Max rpm for the engine is 6000. Has anyone with the 2120...

I would generaly agree with you but I think his boat is 30 + years old and worked hard . Not a bad life. Ray

Being on Long Island I have found a web site by Capt Al who is a well known charter boat captain out of Babylon on the south shore. The "Skimmer" is being completely redone from the deck, transome, gas tanks etc. Step by step slides of the work he is doing. Visit the site at...

checked and there is no manufacture's name on the seat Ray

I don't believe there are any names on the seat but I'll check tomorrow. Ray

Anybody know where you can get replacement cushions for the 2120SC helm seat other than going through the dealer. Thanks Ray

I have the 2120 SC and replaced the original 12 inch blades with 14 inch trico teflon blades at under $5. The bayonet fit perfectly and the arm was stainless. Ray

Came accross a site that is selling yamaha ring free for $27.99 a quart. Bought 4 quarts for $122.63 which included $10.67 for shipping and received them 2 days after placing the order. Price is the same regardless of quantity.....www.derbycycles.com in Shelbyville KY.... 1-502 633 7100 Ray

What prop are you turning? You are somewhat lugging the engine as the range is 5000 to 6000rpms. The closer to 6000 the better. With the engine trimmed and tabs retracted I turn 5500rpms and 38mph. Just about the same results with the 13 3/4 X 17, 14 1/4 X 16 and 15 1/4 X 15 props. Search my...

I have two airmar inhull ( shoot through the hull ) transducers for a Navman digital depth finder and one for a colored fish finder. Both are on at the same time and I never have had a problem with readings at any speed including wide open. I got rid of the transome mounted transducer because...

home Depot and I bet any hard ware store sells small stainless steel drain baskets that are used in tub and sink drains. The small size fits exactly into the cabin drain. ray

Was headed to my local marine shop to pick up plugs for the F150 which takes NGK 6376 LFR5A-11. Decided to stop at an AID auto store along the way. They do not stock that plug locally but their main warehouse does. Had to buy a box of 10 which was delivered to the local store the next day at...

grouperjim, all is well. Called Yamaha tech services down in Georgia and they said there is no problem running it in gear. Just make sure no one can get hurt. The noise is caused by the heavy steel prop causing a drop in rpms when you first put it in gear allowing the shaft to chatter in the...

neither the owners manual or shop manual has any warning about puting the engine in gear when out of the water. That said I don't think its a good idea for safety reasons to do it for any length of time. I do it to check the shifting and only have it in gear for a few seconds and make sure no...

This may sound nuts but taste the water...is it salt or fresh. I assume you wash down the motor after each use and I suspect the water is from the air intake Ray

I started up my F150 after winter storage using ear muffs for cooling. Started right up with a good stream out the tell tale hole. I noticed what can be best described as a clicking or chatter from the lower unit when I briefly put it in gear to test the shifting. It is not gear grinding and...

Anthony, that bulletin was 02006-004 Yes a small portion ( couple of inches ) of the gasket will lift off easily especially if you don't lift the cowling straight up. Ray

Anthony, I assume you checked the cowling gasket and that it is seated properly and the two latches snug it up. At the top inside of the cowling there is a series of baffles that drain out any water that may enter the air intake down through two hoses. The problem is that on certain year...
