OK, that’s hilarious. So your cat can probably jump up from the floor to the counter. You need to move that ramp from the counter to the top of the fridge, where the snacks are kept!

Yes, I got that. Storage is an issue, but not impossible. No pups, just a 95 lb Lab. If I can get him doing the ladder I’d be really happy. If not the ladder then the inflatable or ramps are my options. Thanks.

OK, ours is a lab, I didn’t think he was coordinated enough to use the ladder. We’ll do a few training lessons to see if the ladder will work for him. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check ‘em out.

So a little puppy we got a year ago, has turned into a 95 pound beast. Our last couple dogs were decent size but still manageable for me to pick ‘em up and onto the pontoon. I’m older, and he’s bigger, so not this one. Anyway, was wondering if anyone has found a good ramp that can be used for...

So it was the spark plugs for me. Finally decided to change them out myself and that did the trick. Ran it tonight and it was great. Looking forward to summer!! Well except for my torn apart laundry room that I need to rebuild. But whatever, we’ll have great evenings on the boat each...

No not yet, Waiting on a mechanic now.

Thanks for this. I didn’t think about trying a separate fuel source. Way too much common sense for me!! Filters are good, I did take it out again with no surge, but limited RPM and an odd noise. Prop looks fine. I do have a mechanic friend coming over, as changing the filters and other...

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll check that out.

So I did replace the water separator fuel filter. That one looked like changing like oil filter, which it was, so easy enough. No difference. I did take the boat out again, and no surge, but it would not go over 4500 RPM. It got to 4500 RPM quick enough (about a third of the full distance of...

Thanks. I’ll run it with cap off. The other suggestions, I’m not quite confident in my ability not to screw things up, but I can probably phone a friend. Thanks!

Thanks for that. I did add some seafoam with a couple gallons of gas before the hour and a half running. I might try the spark plugs next. Thanks.

Gasoline from last days last year with stabilizer. My same routine each year. It should have been good.

Hey All… I have a Yamaha 115 VMax, on a 2019 Bennington. Loved the engine until I just dropped it in the water and coming home the engine was running a bit rough, and accelerating and decelerating on its own. I was scared to death as I brought it into my hoist, but it was relatively calm and...
