Fuel for my Yanmar diesel engine on the boat.?

Hi – I’m new to boat ownership and I find myself asking the question of whether or not the diesel fuel at a marine fuel dock is the exact same diesel that one would find at a local gas station (#2 diesel). I have a Yanmar inboard diesel engine in my boat.

Justin

Offroad diesel is not taxed the same as Road diesel. As of 3 years ago when I was working as a tankerman the ONLY difference between offroad and road diesel was the die they added to make certain that truckers do not run it in their 18 wheelers.

Whats wild is once I loaded a barge with 420,000 gallons of road diesel that at the time was sellign for 1.40 a gallon, then the guys from the plant came to the barge, dumped in their die and made it offroad diesle that was selling for 1.05 a gallon :D I always thought it would be cool to figure out how I could keep the diesel from mixing so that we could sell it as the more expensive product, but purchase it as the cheeper.

EDIT: please note, they have phased in ULSD since i quit that job. I am not certain if Offroad diesel is also Ultra low sulfer.

Can a trolling motor a pontoon boat?

I am interested in buying a "family" boat – just for us to get out on the water, enjoying the sun, etc. However, a number of local places (lakes in the state) can only electric engines – no gasoline engines. In other words, a trolling motor. Of course, this is fine for a rowing boat or bass boat (for fishing), but a trolling motor push a pontoon boat through the water? Thanks! Please – boat experts alone – not just conjecture. I'm already guessing:) SMILE!

The best way to do it, is to buy a pontoon with two engines at the .. A barge moves through the water much easier than a normal boot, so you can get away with lower horsepower engines .. and theres no need for a trolling motor just work .. but if you are a Motors are allowed where more .. I feel satisfied with just one engine only trollingt … 9.9 has a good job .. You can just tilt when an electric engine more .. In some cases rare, but you may need to prop … Good Luck to remove

Mercury outboard boat motor???? help!!?

ok, me an my husband was out for a boat ride one day and we hit something that was in the water and the whole lower unit came off, (well that was the word i heard) and i am trying to surprise him and buy him one so where can i get one?? how much will it be?? and what information do i need to make sure that is the correct part for the motor? It is an old motor so how much am i looking at?? does anyone know of any good boat sites i can go to??? THanks…..plz help.

After hitting something that hard, it could have messed the rest of the motor up as well. With something like that, you need someone to look at it. Look in the yellow pages for a Mercury dealer in your area & bring the busted outboard into them to look at. They will be able to tell you if it’s worth salvaging what’s left or give you a price on a new or good used one. Compare a couple of dealers to make sure you’re not getting ripped off.

By the way, it’s really nice of you to be doing this for your husband.

How can I find boat motor parts for a 5 hp motor Model # 217-58610?

We have an old ( I mean old ) Sears / Roebuck motor for a boat and cannot find the parts we need to fix the problem, all help will be greatly appreciated.

I believe what you have there is a 1970 5hp Sears, also marketed under the names Gamefisher and Ted Williams. These where built by Eska outboards, and used a Tecumseh (tec) air cooled powerhead with a water cooled exhaust housing. Believe it or not, some parts are still available from Sears. You can also try some of the sites I have listed below. Hope this helps.

I have a shifter, a 1969 Johnson outboard boat motor, what is the cheapest way to go?

I own a Johnson 20r69d 1969 outboard boat motor. The boat came with a mercury / Kiekhaufer shifter box. I can work on the gas, but the shifter will not pull the shifter handle to the engine far enough to move forward. I tried to adjust the gears many times, but there is no way that will work. I just have a dual universal shifter? I also buy new cables? I'm just looking for the best way to do this without spending much money.

ok if used, try ebay some good deals there if you want a new OEM to IBoats. com everything you could ever want or need to go there

Marine Outboard Motor

Mercury Marine Outboard Engine Video History – Part 1

You can power an outboard motor?

I have a 90hp Evinrude and according to the manual requires a "minimum" of about 350 battery, my brother came over and gave me the other day about a 750 marine battery, it is safe to use a larger battery than recommended

so go ahead and use it, the minimum is the smallest I would never recommend it to a rig engine, such that even in a small boat with just under 500 cca. Remember that only for the engine and does not take into with something else that can be connected to the battery. when a fishing boat with many accessories 350 series is very small. and by the way MARINE BATTERIES are valued at 65 degrees F. not 32. that is why many people who ship the battery in the winter and have trouble using it in other vehicles. on my personal boats and boat I always use my service the biggest battery I can. if you're on the water, which is a bad time for the battery to the ps cheap insurance when problems arise

Boat Parts – Learn Some Boating Lingo

I'm trying to find out what the boat would be best oil for use in pulling a suburban February 1?

I'm going to use the truck to pull a boat and It has 92,000 miles on it. It does not burn or leak oil. I just want the best, but do not know what that is. I thought about using Royal Purple, the part store said not to.

Your Suburban calls for 5W-30. Frankly, forget any brand of partial synthetic motor oil. The reason is: There is not a company that actually tells you the exact percentage of the synthetic oil it contains. Give your truck added protection by using a fully synthetic Mobil 1 Truck & SUV 5W-30. It is a fact that oil companies secretly are two very important anti-wear additives (zinc and phosphorus), because the life of catylitic converters. Under no circumstances use 10W-40 in any modern gasoline engine. Any higher viscosity than 5W-30 will not cool the engine as well. The oil pump should also work harder highly viscous oil robs you of power.

Where can I find parts for a Montgomery Ward / clinton 7 hp outboard motor?

Got it recently from the list, and it is thought to fuel problems delivery via the fuel pump. It is an air-cooled outboard with a water element to remain cool I guess outlet. The needle and seat in the carb as well and Fuel is gravity fed, the engine is running. Before I even cracking open something else, there's a place that still carries parts on this earth, or am I now have a battery and electric fuel pump carry around?
