back to stock headlight....

[[email protected]]

good catch... i used babbits to look up the parts on boats and it seemed to go good. those p/n's seem to be good. the ones in the PDF also show up but don't show as many results thru boats.net... I wonder if it has to do with the fact that those are showing as "loading...." in the pdf?

Strange stuff with these part #'s. Don't know quite what the deal is with all of this. Maybe it does have something to do with where it says loading:confused2:. I'll have to be careful in the future with that. I've ordered a couple things so far and it's all been good with the part #'s. Sorry if I put any bad info out there but I figured a doc from the dealer couldn't be wrong.

no worries at all man. you definitely helped out...

if you use either of the part #'s on boats.net it shows the same description, so if its supposed to be a screw its a screw, spring a spring, etc.. so it maybe just be they changed manf for the parts at some point and some changed?

anyone interested in the headlight? its easy on easy off...

i just didnt' care for the look...

 

[gamorg02]

anyone know what part #8 might be?

i assumed it was the spring that holds parts 1/2/3 together, kind of like a clip, but i could be wrong... any thoughts?

says its the "spring, set"

Garrett-Part # 15 holds 1,2 &3 together. There are 2 screws that go thru # 1 into the housing at about 8 & 4 o'clock.

hey danny..... i'd disagree actually

i think 15 holds 1 to the bucket itself (part 11ish)...

if you take those bolts (15) off, the lense/ring and back comes out in one piece and if you look on the back there is a clip that holds it kind of all together...

i'm pretty sure that's what #8 is...

Sorry, I misunderstood your question.

You are correct, part #15 holds the whole front assy to the bucket.

Can't tell exactly what #8 is. 6 passes thru 7 and is held by 9, it makes sense that 8 is the clip, but the picture doesn't really show that conclusively. :confused2:

i agree... i'm pretty sure it is. i think the picture just sucks at showing it. it basically looks like a 'w' but they show it at the wrong angle... i can't imagine needing anymore pieces than I do already...

 

[dannymax]

#8 is referred to as a 'spring set,' part #9 is the 'adjusting nut'...I think #9 fits into#8, holding the 'set' together against the back of the lens itself.

I agree, the illustration sucks! And those little parts are pricey as hell too!!

Both of those pieces are used to adjust the headlight...not sure whether it's up/down or side to side.

Found that fische here: http://www.babbittsonline.com/pages/parts/viewbybrand/2/Yamaha.aspx

They are a yamaha dealer.

I converted their entire parts fishce into individual pdf files for my own reference. It took about an hr for me to do it so I guess it will save me time down the road and maybe some others too. Main reason I did it cause it seemed easier for me to manipulate the drawings (zoom in) in pdf format, than it is on all the dealer sites. So now if I need something I just look at my laptop, zoom in so I can see it and print off the part#s I need and call around.

Call me a copy-cat but I just did the same thing. It sounded like a good idea. I never liked the way some sites don't zoom-in too well and distort either. Especially considering this is something I use quite often. Worth the investment in time. Thanks for the idea/motivation.

haha i think we're still on different pages... i got mine apart and will take pics when I get home...

i think 6 (bolt) goes into 7 (spring) and screws into 9 (nut). plus the fiche says you need 2x of 6,7,9, but only one of 8.

if someone has their headlight housing apart from the bucket, take a pic of the back of it... haha

I just read the rest of this thread after posting my previous comments...
Is there a problem with the part numbers listed on the Babbit website? Or is it just description issues??

if you looked up either p/n they showed the right description on like boats.net or something...

i wonder if its like an old vs new part #, but are compatible.. i guess only way to be sure would be to call up a yama dealer and ask them to look up both p/n's and how they order them... one might be discontinued and show its replacement?

Here it is!

[gamorg02]
