    2007 F250TXR water in oil

    Definitely found corrosion present pretty much everywhere. There doesn’t appear to be any pitting on the cam lobes and the cylinder walls look good. My plan is to take the heads and block to a machine shop and have them clean everything up and check it out.

    2007 F250TXR water in oil

    Well I did a little troubleshooting today and took the cover off the tiller handle. For what ever reason, someone had previously disconnected the switch. I plugged it in and it works like a champ.

    Big Tiller Trim not working

    I just installed a used big tiller arm on my 2008 Optimax 150. The trim button on the side of the motor works fine, but the trim button on the end of the tiller arm does nothing. Any ideas of what might be causing this or what I could look for? I haven’t had the motor in the water yet, I just...

    Yamaha T8 burning oil

    I have a 2006 T8 kicker motor on my boat (no hour meter but estimated about 10 to 12 hours run time). I bought the boat used about 6 months ago. The boat is very clean and was well taken care of. When I bought the boat I checked all of the fluids for level and condition. Both my big motor...
