Finally got around to installing a water pressure gauge on the boat. Hoping to run out to the lake later today to try it out. Does anybody know what’s typical pressure for a yamaha 115 four stroke? I’m sure it’s going to vary based on engine rpm’s, but just wondering what’s typical when it’s up and ...

Finally made it back out the other day and had zero issues with engine overheating. Fished out of Horseshoe, and the floating seagrass was gone for the most part, so I’m thinking the grass was my problem all along. Also, haven’t gotten around to installing water pressure gauge, but that’s definitely...

Sorry bro, didn’t mean to jinx ya...lol!

Just an update...I was back out at Horseshoe on Thursday and there was hardly any floating grass in the area, and needless to say, I had zero problems with engine overheating. Guess it’s just something I’m going to have to deal with when there’s a lot of grass around.

Thanks, Russ. I’ll check it out.

Hi everyone, I’m new to the forum and thanks for the add. Hoping someone here can give some insight on a problem I’ve had the last few times I’ve been out with my boat. I fish out of Horseshoe Beach and lately I’ve been having a problem with floating seagrass clogging the water intakes on my motor w...
