Still working on what batteries to get. Number two is bad as it drained down in a very short time with just livewell and gps/ff. Started it up on number one and then charged by running both. Had the battery jump pack onboard just in case. Hasn't been much relaxing or enjoyment so far this season....
I thought the yamis main oil tank fed the one under the cover and that one feeds the oil lines. I'm pretty sure my buddy had a problem with a similar system and it was vacuum that filled the upper tank. He had some cracked oil lines or tank cap that prevented a good vacuum to pull the oil up.

Just a thought....
