KIC Posted April 19, 2014 Share #2 Posted April 19, 2014 Very common. There are new o-rings available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted April 19, 2014 Share #3 Posted April 19, 2014 Yup!! Don't forget to grease the new o rings with waterproof grease or water pump lubricant (same thing). Just a very thin coating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Venture Posted April 19, 2014 Share #4 Posted April 19, 2014 Just curious, mine was dropped in a parking lot by the PO. There is a dent in the elbow but no leaking. Should I be concerned? Or just replace it when I am in there next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peder_y2k Posted April 19, 2014 Share #5 Posted April 19, 2014 REPLACE IT! They are only some $30 new, and easier to replace now when everything apart rather than later. Also replace the T-stat housing for the same reason. -Pete, in Tacoma WA USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted April 19, 2014 Share #6 Posted April 19, 2014 Ditto!! Hey Peder, where are you finding them for $30 new?? Parts Shark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairiehammer Posted April 19, 2014 Share #7 Posted April 19, 2014 Ditto!! Hey Peder, where are you finding them for $30 new?? Parts Shark? Boats.net has the elbow for $33.98 here: http://www.boats.net/parts/detail/yamaha/Y-26H-12446-00-00.html But the O-rings are 'not available' from them.

Peder_y2k Posted April 19, 2014 Share #8 Posted April 19, 2014 Ditto!! Hey Peder, where are you finding them for $30 new?? Parts Shark? Working from MEMORY of repair work a couple years ago, I often use Partzilla or Boats.net, but may have found new old stock parts on e-bay. Despite others experience, I've used Partzilla for several years for all my bikes with zero problems, including order cancellations. -Pete, in Tacoma WA USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
