salt water boat? sounds like you have salt buildup under the head where the thermostats are. gotta take the heads off and clean the salt deposits that are reducing waterflow

gotta check cylinder compression to see how tired the engine is. having said that, im still very confident of my 1987 175 yamahaand thats in salt water

under the engine cover there is a reservior that holds oil that is pumped up from the large tank. The reservoir has a plug on the top which is a float switch that switches the pump motor on to fill it. either the float for the alarm isnt working or the same float to tell the pump to turn on isnt working. check the connection of the wires coming off that plug.

Sounds like a head gasket, worn valve gasket, as my first guess.

There should be a vent on your gas tank cap . Open it up so the tank can breath. If no air gets in it creates a vacuum causing the primer to collapse and will shut down the engine. If there is no vent turn the cap open a little just to let some air in but those tanks should be able to vent.

T is a 2000 model

It sounds as though it is starving for fuel. Check the fuel filter and replace if necessary. Also check and or clean the carburetor.

This is a known issue with the motor and the dealer used to offer replacement under the warranty. If your unit is not too old they might still cover it. Contact the dealer.

Yamaha actually lists the date of manufacture on the transom bracket or a label on the bottom

Make sure your shifter cable isn't out of adjustment . It must be in true neutral position on the engine and not advanced out of position. All boats have a safety feature that either cuts power to the starter or the spark plug and fuel pump. There are is a little adjustment room on either end of the cable . If you are in sure disconnect the cable at the engine and move the leaver on the engine to neutral . Then try and start up. The other issue that is over looked is a bad kill switch on the shifter or a corroded and or loose battery wire at the battery or at the engine.

Sound like corrosion on tilt pin. Grease it or one day it will stuck and cost hundreds to remove and replace.

Should be easy. It is all DC voltage. One hot and one ground. Not sure why you need a diagram for dc.

Something is blocking the water from entering the water jacket on the left side. You may have installed the gasket incorrectly or missed a blockage.

This is a lost spark system... The two holes share everything related to ignition including the pickup under the flywheel. Swap two of the pickup leads and see if the problem moves with the suspect pickup. Make sure all the spark plugs are removed, or you could cause pre detonation if the engine starts.

Check the kill switch. Sounds like a malfunction

This PWC uses a 2 cycle engine, no oil in the crankcase, oil is mixed with gas..

Safe rule of thumb is 2 loose leaf papers jammed between the points and one side of a cardboard cover for storing those pages between the magneto and the flywheel. Grew up poor and still use those trucks to this day.
