Hello All,
It almost that time again for us boaters in the Northeast. I am planning to replace a few parts on my Yamie 90 2 stroke (it is getting old and I want to avoid a having a stroke, hee hee. Had a bad experience with an another old oil injected outboard…) Anyway I would like to replace all the internal oil hoses with new clear ones (neoprene?) Right now the longer ones to the check valves behind carbs are the originals painted blue. The short ones behind the carb are clear (badly discolored) but I am sure they are very brittle and due to be replaced as well. Does anyone have any ideas on what type of hose to use and the potential issues? Should I also replace the small valves connecting the hoses?
Also I am going to replace the trim motor, found a good used one on ebay (my old works, but is very rusted, and I suspect will start leaking any time) Question, looks like the outboard will need to hoisted off the boat to get at that motor. Am I right? While this is being done, should the trim be drained and flushed? I assume it can be drained. Probably will bring this to the shop to have done.
Your thoughts are welcome
Thx
Jon
