    Slight vibration starboard engine and pump

    It does happen, and it’s typically #3. Over torque and/or in for extended period of time is contributor. I change annual and use anti seize and very careful with torque.

    Slight vibration starboard engine and pump

    Yep, if you haven't changed them and have no idea when, they need changing. Be careful removing them, especially #3 cylinder. There is probably a good guide somewhere on changing MR1 sparkplugs.

    Slight vibration starboard engine and pump

    Look up under the grate with flashlight. Sounds like there might be an object lodged in there. Also check to see if reverse bucket is hanging down over the lip of jet nozzle. Put throttles in forward position and inspect. I wouldn't have suspected a bearing issue if you hadn't said you...

    Scraped Bottom at Lake, How Bad? How Much?

    That area of the scrape is extremely thick fiberglass...ask me how I know sometime. I wouldn't be worried at all about that aspect. However, it does need a repair. Patch paste would probably work well and you could make it somewhat perfect if you were handy. If you are not handy then easy...

    DIY Pipe Booster for improving wake

    I'm around 200 lbs and need 1,600 lbs min and people. 2,000 lbs better. This is with wedge too. I think around 8-8,500 rpms is about right. 800 on swim deck surfside and 800 seat surfside. Rub rail surfside needs to be under water.

    I officially hate my Yamaha 275 SD

    The only time my boat has had overheat was ingesting some weeds that looked like a ball of green fishing line. I pulled the cleanout port and it looked like a green afro.

    XR1800 4-Stroke MR1 Swap

    For shits and giggles, I would pull the ECU and look for water intrusion or some other sign it may be compromised.

    Help. My boat was damaged at my marina dock

    If they won't cover it then you just have to decide to go on a crusade or not. The crusade would be time, effort, energy, or perhaps cost in hiring a lawyer. Small claims court is also an option but it appears you might be on shaky ground.

    XR1800 4-Stroke MR1 Swap

    Bad ecu is common causing injector to stay open filling crankcase with gas. Lots of posts on this. Gets wet, corrosion, needs replaced or rebuilt.

    Seat sun damage?

    Heat, sun, and time. The 2007-2009 gray was notorious for this. Some people had it others not.

    Trailer Maintenance at 6 years

    I have replaced slide assembly that includes the master cylinder and reverse lockout solenoid and one caliper. I changed my bunk boards about 5 years ago and check them each time. One trip in saltwater will start the rusting process from inside out on anything that can rust.

    2021 Yamaha 255 XD hull crack

    Looking at that photo there is a chance there is minimal damage to the boat.
