Thanks all! I ordered new filters and will pull out next weekend for maintenance. Any input on replacing the H/P Filter? I read someone say they used a special tool but I don't see what they are referring too. Anyone do this work themselves, that could offer advice?

Checked with my buddy and he said the bulb wasn't "collapsed" or "deflated". I don't think the issue is before the bulb. Also, he pumped it while at high RPM, the engine was running rough and pumping the bulb didn't change anything. Im thinking its a clog in the VST

Hi there - hoping for some advice on an engine issue I have twin 2007 Suzuki DF140s and today the starboard engine shut down at about 3000 rpm as I left the marina. It started fine and idled without issue before we left the slip. Once it shut down, we pumped the ball and it was collapsed. It...

Not sure if this helps, but here is what I replaced on my 2006 Tomcat. Worked out fine. motor https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000N ... UTF8&psc=1 shaft https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000N ... UTF8&psc=1

Gene - Thanks, I'll try it. I bleed salmon but have never done it with RF.

I just use iMovie on my MacBook. There are some great tutorials on YouTube that have helped me.

Thanks to the advice from this site, My Tomcat 255 'True North' is running great! Here is my latest adventure: https://youtu.be/82AJaJoMQh4

Update #2 I ran out today and it gave me the 1-1 code. I think that when I tested it before, I didn't rev the engine enough. It took about 10 minutes at high RPM. The voltage was 18.5V a few minutes after I shut down the engine so it was getting too much juice. The only issue with replacing...

Greatly appreciate the input guys! My batteries are sealed so there is no water lever to check as far as I know. It seemed like the voltage was decreasing but only after 15+ min. I didn't check amps. What range should I look for?

Quick update on my issue: I ordered a new rectifier/regulator and drove out to the slip to attempt to install it. I got the old rectifier off with the exception of a ground wire that was behind the plastics fuse box. It turns out, after reading the manual much closer, this wire can only be...

Thanks guys. Ill run back to the marina and check the battery fluids. I bought the batteries in 2014 so they are near their life span I'm guessing. I think I'll just replace them and go from there. I'll also put some calls into suzuki dealers.

Thanks Boris. The readings I gave were directly from the battery terminal. Does that change anything? Since I'm reading an overcharge, could that mean it could be a ground issue and not a bad rectifier? I tried to see where the black ground wire connects but I was unable without dismantling...

Additional info: With starboard running alone, the starter battery ramps up from 14V to 16.55 and starts to decline, at around 16.4 the alarm sounds. With port running alone, same starter ramps up to 16.2 and holds I think the 14V starting point was because I had the engines both running...

Hi - my starboard 2007 Suzuki DF140 is throwing a 1-1 code which looks to be Rectifier & regulator (over charging) issues. My battery terminals are clean and the rectifier ground looks ok. I know my batteries are old. Couple questions: - could old batteries cause this? - has anyone replaces...

Thanks guys - I found a new cord and inlet for $310 on amazon. Seems easiest. I don't want to mess with electric issues!

Thanks!!!! Is this the right kit? https://www.westmarine.com/buy/smartplu ... ecordNum=1

Hey Guys - could use some help! I've been to the marina and fished three times in 7 days. Day 1 - the shore power was off. I reset the breaker and all good Day2 - I heard some acting (cracking noise) when I turned on the AC after plugging in the shore power. No smoke, no heat at the plug...

Hi Two quick questions. My tomact started to show a mold in the non-skid exterior after I had it parked under a tree for too long. My fault! I’ve tried bar keepers friend and FSR. Both worked with a ton of elbow grease. I have it 90% cleaned but want to get all. Has anyone had luck with a...

Hi, I found my issue! I have the dreaded Suzuki pre-2008 exhaust corrosion issue. Exhaust is leaking from a very corroded engine holder plug and getting sucked into my air intake. I hope to patch this temporarily with JB weld at the dock....not sure if thats possible given my man hands but...
