    1999 Rinker Flotilla Partial Restoration

    Re: 1999 Rinker Flotilla Partial Restoration Weekends without rain have been at a premium here in NW Florida lately, between work and weather not much progress on the boat. So I continue to do little projects in the garage as I can to make reassembly hopefully easier. The more I looked at the...

    Question on New Wiring

    I'm doing a partial restore on my "99" Rinker Flotilla (see my post in restoration forum) and the wiring had lots of corrosion and years of scabbing in different connections. I decided to rip and strip and rewire the boat versus trying to chase down wiring problems all summer. I have a few...

    1999 Rinker Flotilla Partial Restoration

    Re: 1999 Rinker Flotilla Partial Restoration When I can't get over to the boat I try and work projects at the house when I can such as the instrument panel. I decided to replace the old cracked panel with something new and since I am going to use lots of blue on the seats and top thought I...

    1999 Rinker Flotilla Partial Restoration

    Re: 1999 Rinker Flotilla Partial Restoration The engine turned out to be a large project and I’m pretty glad I’m reaching the install part! I wanted a 5.7 Vortex engine for the repower and since I had no engine to start with I needed the whole nine yards. I found lots of new complete engines...

    1999 Rinker Flotilla Partial Restoration

    Re: 1999 Rinker Flotilla Partial Restoration I have pretty much gone through the Volvo transom shield this past year, stripped all the crud and paint, tossed all the old parts and rebuilt it. The lift cylinders were pretty much fused to the pin, after hours of heat and beating I ended up...

    1999 Rinker Flotilla Partial Restoration

    Re: 1999 Rinker Flotilla Partial Restoration Worked for the most part of a day getting the layers crud removed so I can see white again! After a close inspection I need to rewire the boat; I already had a new engine harness that I purchased to run the engine on the pallet, so I will install...

    Recommendations for Prop for DP-M 1.95

    First off my deepest condolences to friends and families of Don, he has given me advice that has been invaluable, he is greatly missed. I have a 24 foot Rinker Flotilla I have been re-powering with a Marine Power 5.7 and swapping to a Volvo outdrive DP-M 1.95 gear ratio as Don had recommended...

    Volvo Transom Shield Steering Fork Washer Question

    I got all the crud off my transom shield, new paint, new parts and ran into a snag on reassembly. As I'm putting the steering fork assembly back on the transom shield housing I seem to have two large washers that go on the bottom of the steering post below the O'ring. My manual makes no...

    MEFI 1 thru 5 Scan Tools

    I have a 5.7 with MEFI 4 EFI that is throwing a code 81 by my low tech LED scan tool I put together. I really want to have the capability to scan and monitor the engine via a laptop like I can do on my old truck. I spent several days searching and googling and have come to the conclusion that...

    Question on Type of Mercruiser to Volvo Outdrive
