    Question about Pontoon Winterizing in the North East

    Well I made it through my first summer with my 23LFB Tritoon -had tons of fun and learned a lot! The next learning curve is the fall to winter storage process. So, after pulling it out of the water, I took it to the dealer for winterizing the motor, because Yamaha requires it to keep the...

    what to do with cover while shirink wrapped

    This is good information! This is my first boat and I was thinking that you leave the cover on when it is shrink wrapped.

    Throttle Question

    Good thought, I can check when I get to camp this weekend. I'm only on the first fill-up after the dealer free tank, so I'm thinking that the gas is good -the marina had 91 ethanol free gas.

    Throttle Question

    No, we were headed home that day, but the remainder of the 20 minute trip it was completely normal. It never had any heat or low oil safe mode warnings, but did act like a safe mode. I don't have my owners manual here at home, but we are headed back up this Sunday and will do more research on...

    Throttle Question

    I'm not thinking so, I'm on the St Lawrence ,it's about a mile wide where we are and no seaweed near my dock. Once out maybe 40' its over 20' deep and then quickly goes to 40' with 60' max in the middle. But, maybe there was some debris? The motor did not sound like it was struggling, it just...

    Throttle Question

    I had a weird experience with the throttle on my 23LFB. We got it about a month ago with the F200 Yamaha four cylinder and I was amazed by the power and speed. But, this past weekend I had a strange thing happen with the throttle. I had 7 regular sized adults on board and the water was a little...

    Homemade Dock

    We bought a camp on the St Lawrence in October 2020. The first thing that amazed me is that 90% of the docks, including mine, are permanent. They build these huge cribs with RR sized ties, fill them with rocks and then build the deck. Not sure of the exact date, but I believe that mine is at...

    Trailer with surge brakes

    I picked mine up from the dealer with a trailer that has that system -first trip was from the dealer to camp, which is about 150miles. The system worked great and no complaints at all!

    Finally have the boat and motor

    We picked up out Bennington last week on the 17th and did the first haul from Owasco Marina to our house and then on to our place on the St Lawrence. The trip was great ... the run from the launch in Ogdensburg to our dock was a fun first run! We were running about 10-12 MPH into 2 1/2 -3' waves...

    Finally Pick it up this Thursday!

    Thanks! That's actually the St Lawrence River, about 7 miles west of Ogdensburg NY. This actual section is a mile wide, with Canada straight across, and is about 13miles long ...and 60' deep. Cool part is the whole river is about 743miles long ..."only" 114 miles long on the NYS boarder.

    Finally Pick it up this Thursday!

    Well the boat was in about a week or so ago, but the Yamaha F200 was AWOL. The motor has arrived and we pick up our 23LFB this Thursday! Owasco Marine will put it in the water about 9am and we go out and learn the boat. Then they pull it out and get it on the trailer for us to haul it about 2...

    Production delays II

    Good news is my boat was in late last week. Bad news is the Yamaha 200F motor has no showed up yet. My dealer is great, he called to let me know that Yamahas order system is usually good, but basically now it is out to lunch and he can't get any tracking or est. delivery info.

    Lift Power Questions

    Thanks, I will look at that option -is there a recommended brand that I should look at?

    Lift Power Questions

    I should have gone through this sooner, but we bought our place last October and were focused on the indoor projects. Now I can zoom in on the outdoors! First priority -my lift is installed and I am at this point now: 1) There is a GFI outlet on the post on the dock, it is a dedicated line...
