Question by michael: outboard engine help please.?
this morning when we went out I felt the boat was not idleing properly, and once we got under way, I discovered the boat would not go more than 20mph. It also, at times, would sputter and hesitate. I have already changed the plugs and fuel filter, even put some fuel additives in but it is still acting the same way. The boat is a 2004 bay stealth, with a 2004 Yamaha 150 four stroke. I am the original owner, and I have never had this problem before. I cannot find my water seperator, does this mean I do not have one? I thought all boats had them. Thanks

If there isn't one from the fuel tank to the motor and there isn't one on the motor then add one. Since you checked the boat check the motor.

Just adjust the length of your hose, to change as much of the old oil as possible, but you'll know when you've lost suction. I service my motors every 100 hours, and please subscribe for also how to service your gearbox and change the oil is coming soon. Well worth it, give it a go and with expensive labour costs, it really is cheap to service your motors, especially if you have two of them as we do on our Power catamarans. To do an oil change, just pump out your old oil, and then replace with new oil, back to the full level on your dipstick. Oil filters are just a matter of ...
