Took the boat to the San Joaquin delta today. Beautiful, but hot weather.
Couple problems I have to fix. Did try fishing, but only undersized stripers to be caught. Went to turn on the blower, and drops the voltage I see about 2 volts. Must be frozen. And when went to shift my T8 Yamaha kicker. The shifter broke. Shift cable seems to be frozen. That will be a couple boat bucks. Nice motors, but Yamaha is very proud of the parts. |

I'd look around a whole lot before buying from Yamaha. |

I think I can weld up the casting with my mig welder. $122 on the internet for the cable. |

You should be able to buy a Morse or Teleflex cable for around $50 unless Yamaha does cables differently than everyone else. |

You pretty much only need to specify length. Transfer ends from one cable to the other. |

Dickson has no interest in being gainfully employed, not when he can sponge off the labours of decent hard working Ontario residents.
