    I screwed up install of lower shift cable?

    I'm a student of all, master of none. Just trying to help if I can, so take what I say with a grain of salt, perhaps one of the OGs or gray hairs will chime in... I've only split my case twice (I have a gen 1, and shift issues same as you) if memory serves me there are only 10ish splines on the...

    I screwed up install of lower shift cable?

    Any chance you replaced the impeller too, or split the out drive? Could be your shift shoe isn’t aligned correctly in the LU…

    New trailer, different bunk measurements

    Finally switched horses... ended up changing the lateral ange the angle of the bunks by 6*, 7* and 9*, changing the height of the bow and stern brackets - considering that changing the angle also changes the height, and also changed the pitch - bow to stern. Ended up being a bit of a head...

    Is it bad to run a pwc out of the water?

    Amazing, I had almost word for word the exact same experience last week. Only difference was the guy was right behind me at the post retrieval area. Just as you said sitting on his newer PWC on the trailer red-lining it. I could definitely hear the warble of the rev limiter. i can’t imagine a...

    New trailer, different bunk measurements

    There is a lot going on in that drawing, I have a hard to keeping it all straight myself. I actually came back on to see if I could delete the post. The brackets and supports are welded to the frame. I'd prefer to keep it that way. I have to change the angles and the heights. Spent most of the...

    New trailer, different bunk measurements

    I'm replacing my old '89 eagle for a newer beefier '04 eagle. The bunk setup for the 2 are similar but not exact. I was hoping to get some extra set of eyes on my plan, or fresh ideas before I head down this road. Hopefully my drawing illustrates what I have going on. My thought was to cut down...

    Another surge question

    We're in the fresh waters of upstate NY, so I'm hoping that rust/corrosion isn't an issue. I don't know, because i haven't checked, whether the master cylinder is aluminum or steel. In a previous life time I used to tow somewhat regular with straight electric brakes, so I'm familiar with...

    Starting issue

    May seem silly, but did you check to make sure the kill switch (if there is one) is in the run position? I just had the exact issue you described happen to me yesterday trying to start, runs in start, but cuts off as soon as key goes to run. I looked at the switch and it looked like it was in...

    Another surge question

    Yup did that, and I checks out. It's has a 5 blade hookup, so it should have the lock out solenoid that I need to check out.

    Another surge question

    Thanks for all the replies. Had my hands full with a bunch of different projects. I finally got back around to looking at this. I took the bolt out and topped off the brake fluid, jacked the trailer up and tested the brakes. Everything seems to be in working order. So hopefully this doesn’t end...

    Another surge question

    It's welded to the frame. I suppose thats why I thought it was part of the fame.

    Another surge question

    Yup now I see the stamp, I wasn't expecting to see it on the trailer frame. It appears the brakes haven't been in use for a while. I don't trust that single bolt from keeping the actuator locked out, especially onc I get the additional weight of the boat on it. I think my initial step is to...

    Another surge question

    Just picked up a new-to-me trailer. It has disc surge brakes. I'm also new the the surge brake world. I understand the concept of how they work, but as I'm less than 24 hrs into this I lack the intricacies. There is a bolt on this setup (see pic) that I'm not sure of the purpose. If it was an...

    Dieseled and hydrolocked 4.3

    My wife said she wanted to go for a gondola ride in Venice, I guess paddling our SeaRay across one of the finger lakes is as close as she's going to get. The short story is we hydrolocked on the water and I'm seeking advice on what I should checkout so I don't end up with a giant paperweight...

    Where’s the grease going

    I’ve pumped A LOT of grease into the hub. It’s a single axle trailer with a “reliable sure lube” sticker on the frame. When pumping grease in I’m not seeing any squeeze out anywhere, no grease splatter on the inside of the wheel either. I would say I’m close to half a tube of grease for each...

    Upper shift shaft bushing r and r, and separate cooling issue

    While working a separate with the shift interrupter not engaging as it should, I pulled the drive off to replace the shift lever and found water in the shift pocket. So it’s time to change out the bushings. It’s an Alpha one Gen one (I can get S/N in the morning if it matters). If memory serves...

    Shift interrupter switch not working/ activating too late.

    Thanks for the reply. I have the other style switch, the one in the right. The switch does close if I push in on the plunger. The title of my post may have been misleading, the switch itself is working, but the plate doesn’t move when I put the shift lever into neutral. In have to move the shift...

    Shift interrupter switch not working/ activating too late.

    Hi all - finally got the boat in the water yesterday for the first time this season. As a result of haste and my own stupidity last fall I had to replace the lower shift cable this spring (among a few other items). I adjusted the the lower shift cable and the remote shift cable, then for...
