Called a local dealer and they said to have the gasket face with the silicone bead against the power head so I'm all good. Cheers, Colin.

Hoping we have a small engine expert here. :D I have a 2000 Yamaha 2 stroke 5hp motor and I just did a carb kit on it but I obviously wasn't paying attention when I took it apart. I removed the reed valve block as I got a new gasket for it but the new oem Yamaha one has a small bead of...

I'll say yamaha, just because I'm a Yamaha guy. If it's a smaller boat I would say an older 2 stroke would be the best way to go. My boat is only 10' and my 5hp Yamaha is a nice balance of weight and enough power to plane the boat. As far as the newer technology goes related to a motors oomph...

I have a 2000 Yamaha 5 hp 2 stroke. I found the website boatinfo.no has this manual and I can browse it, but the site is kinda flaky and I don't have the computer skills to download the manual. If anyone has a hard copy to sell or a link to a downloadable version of the 1997-2003 Yamaha...

I use a Scumacher charger and a deep cycle Group 24 battery. My battery is from a local battery store, but lots of guys I know use Costco deep cycle batteries.

I have a 28lb Minn Kota for my 10ft Alumacraft. It won't get you anywhere very fast, but it works great for trolling around a lake. I put my battery at the bow to move some weight forward.

I don't have any photo's at hand, but I use a piece of square section pool noodle that I attach to my mid bench with industrial velcro. I cut a couple of slots in the noodle and just push the rod sections down into it :)
