    The moor is a two stroke outboard.At the moment me and a couple of mates who are mechanics will try and rebuild the motor.We have a manual which we are working off.

    ATM the crank shaft is being rebuilt and pressed as it has proven dificult to source any cranks.

    Crank Shaft Bearings Split

    Hey Guys,

    I hope you guys have been having some more fun this summer than I am.

    Last week I had the motor cease on me.I have a 50 hp yamaha 1995 Model.

    I had bought this motor as a rebuilt motor and to my surprize I have been shafted by the mechanic.I had opened up the motor last week to reveal an unbelievable amount of silt buildup and crappy ripped gaskets which proved that the motor has never been rebuilt of opened.

    We had opened up the powerhead and found that 2 of the bearing had failed with the ball bearing melting inside one of the pistons causing the motor to ceaze.

    According to the mechanic when he first had a look at the motor the problem was because of the use of unleaded petrol which is a load of crap.I believe the problem was due to a male function in the oil pump and having run the motor for aproximately a year the heat buildup may have caused this problem.I am having the block honed and rebuilding the crank with new rings and pistons ie: a hefty bill coming my way.Could anybody know what the cause could be?

    Now I have had a lot of suggestions that I should disconnect the oil pump and premix with the petrol hence ensuring that a sufficient amount fo oil is runung through the head.

    Could somebody explain how I can disconnect the pump and how if I do disconect the pump how the oil will get to the crank shaft and bearings.I am no mechanic and your help guys will be much appreciated!

    I wish I have reciepts for the motor in order to get this nechanic back.

    Any suggestions will be appreciated guys!.

    Please note that motor since rebuild has not run more than 10 hours all up.

    Regards

    Thanks Guys your help is much apreciated.

    You think trolling at a walking pace is the go when trolling for them also, or should you be going a little faster than normal?

    Ill make sure to get a couple of metals to cast at them this weekend.

    Cheers

    Hey Guys,

    I was on the water on sunday and saw a school of what i believe to be bonito on the surface just as i was heading out towards the heads.We were trolling 4 lures but no strikes what so ever.

    I had a range of lures from the rapal xrap to a metal slice and some feather trolling lures.Ive been hearing alot about the bonito in the bay and wouldnt mind catching a few just for fun.

    Could someone please inform me where these bonitos are being caught and on what.

    Regards

    Hey guys,

    I hope anyone can help me out with this issue.

    I had a mechanic look at my motor its been leaking oil down the drive shaft and dripping out of the bottom.When on the ramp its been smoking and actually embarassing.In an attempt to fix it I had contacted the mechanic and it turns out i need to replace the oil pump.Does anyone have any idea of the costs associated with a new oil pump for a 50hp Yamaha, he had said its around $750 brand new which i believe is to be a fair bit.

    My motor is a 50 hp 1995 yamaha 2 stroke.

    Any comments will be appreciated!

    Thanks guys.

    Good Work Rob.

    Nice to hear botany bay is producing some quality fish.Just a quick question and I would appreciate everyones help on this.When you guys talk about middle bay do you actually look for structures? All I seem to find is flat sandy bottom.Furthermore Bonito's, I know they hang around the heads but has anyone been successful inside the bay?

    Your hellp will be much appreciated1

    Regards
