    Do I need a fuse/breaker here??

    In terms of wire runs, battery to main ON/OFF switch is about 2m (6ft) and engine to switch is about 2-2.5m as well. The outboard technically has a fuse box so I'm assuming it's not needed there, correct? Between battery and switch, I'm assuming this IS important? It's a big wire with a lot of...

It's mostly working; getting engine rpm, coolant temp, etc. However, the main reason I embarked on this whole thing was to get engine trim to show up, which it isn't!

    Mysterious engine 'whine' when in neutral or reverse

    New to me 2014 Yamaha F50LB. Ran it last season without issues. This past winter decided to do a full 100hr service last fall (lower unit, spark plugs, fresh ignition cables, etc). Now engine seems to run fine when moving but intermittently when shifting into neutral or reverse it makes a...

    Rusted spark plug well/mating surface - is this a concern?

    While changing the spark plugs on a new to me 2014 Yamaha outboard I noticed that 3 of the 4 wells have a fair bit of corrosion in them, this corrosion isn't just in the 'outer' surface of the well but extends to the machined mating surface against which the spark plug metal washer would...
