Fishing line damage to gear case.
Give your gearcase a quick check. With the boat on the trailer and outboard in neutral, give the prop a spin. The high-viscosity lube in the outboard gearcase should arrest the motion of the prop quickly. If the prop spins free, however, the lube could be diluted with water.
Pull the prop off and most likely you will find fishing line wrapped around the prop shaft. This will destroy the carrier bearing seal and can cause damage to the prop shaft as well. The prop should be removed atleast every few trips to check for this. Call 832-385-9970 to schedule mobile outboard repair. We come to you!(

Ethanol will ruin your engine
Ethanol Will Ruin Your Outboard Motor's Performance
Ethanol fuel blends are making their way to our neighborhoods.
Read what the National Marine Manufacturers Association recommends in this article on the current Lawsuit over Ethanol Fuel and its effects on your motor.
The characteristics of ethanol, even when blended in ratios of as little as 10 percent, are:
Attracts and absorbs moisture from the air. Boaters will likely face more fuel contamination issues from water absorbed through their fuel tank vents.
Dissolves some solid materials (and can loosen any corrosion), varnish or cause oxidation in steel and aluminum tanks - commonly found in fuel tanks, thereby contaminating the fuel.
Ethanol has been known to dissolve components of the fuel system itself. Modern fuel hoses are made to withstand the effects of ethanol exposure.
Can react chemically with MTBE fuel blends, causing additional contamination.
Fuel blends using as much as 10 percent ethanol are appropriate for use in all of Yamaha's current outboard models. Yamaha does not recommend the use of fuels with higher concentrations of ethanol (E85, which contains 85 percent ethanol) or any other fuel blend that contains more than 10 percent ethanol.

Stern drive gears are the most stressed gears in the world.
Simply put, buying a remanufactured drive is risky. Common practices in the industry include reusing critical wear parts such as cases, gears, shafts and bearings. Inspecting these parts to determine a reasonable expected remaining life is nearly impossible. Consequently, premature failures are common. Why risk relying on used and possibly worn out parts when you can buy a brand new drive from High Tech Marine for less money?

Perko Switch issue
By richard holmgren (gundogg) on Friday, June 25, 2004 - 7:08 am:
I just found Perko's website and they seem to think that it is fine to switch between all/1/2 because the switch is setup with a Make before Break connection. Therefore the alternator never loses connection when switching from one battery to the other one. So as I understand it it should be fine to switch between All/1/2, but you cannot switch to OFF.
I only ask because I wanted to install my perko switch this weekend...since I have had all kinds of battery trouble. The problem has been for about three years and for some reason something drains my battery if the boat sits for more than a day (usually 2-3 days) so I have been forced to disconnect the battery cables when I put the boat on the lift and when I return a few days later I have to hook everything up again... I had posted a few questions about this earlier, but I never got anywhere...anyway, I thought the problem was the alternator or the batteries so when I redid the stereo a few weeks ago I put in a new 150 Amp alternator and two blue tops...but the problem came back...So the only way I see to make sure the battery stays charged is to be able to disconnect the batteries. I just cannot figure out how I should hook them up to the Perko...
The diagram shows that you hook the starter up to the common stud on the perko and then each battery up to its respective post...so I have to rewire the starter???what guage wire should I pull to the starter?
By Flux (flux) on Friday, June 25, 2004 - 10:23 am:
Sounds like you may have Amps that are not shutting down all the way, are your using a trigger wire to them?? Is the power wire to the amps connected directly to the batt?? If there are inline fuses between the batt and the amps, pull them instead of the batt cable. If your batt stays charged then you may have found your problem.

Costly Repairs on Outboard Engines can be avoided
The most common cause of costly repairs is lack of maintenance. Annual maintenance should include:change the water pump, gear lube, change fuel filters ( 2 on engine), change spark plugs, grease points and inspection all of which can usually be done in 3.5-4 hours.
