    Need Help Selecting New Trailer Brake Kit/Actuator

    The Kodiac setups are pricey, but give you those coating / material (including S/S) options and are top tier. Those are what I am going with when the time comes to change out the ones I have. Go to eTrailer to get an idea on the actuators and brake components selections

    Sea-fire alarm on start up

    You sure it's the Sea-Fire alarm and not the Mercruiser alarm? The Mercruiser alarm will do that on start up due to no oil pressure yet.

    Replacing lift cyl power trim hose,how much heat to use?

    I don't think so. Those lines are closed off via valves in the pump. If not, the pistons wouldn't lock in position. The tank cap only closes off the "no pressure" tank that feeds the pump / control valves.

    Replacing lift cyl power trim hose,how much heat to use?

    A little suggestion: if heating a hydraulic line, disconnect one end so the expanding fluid has somewhere to go. Have seen those lines rupture, sometime in a violent fashion, when heated and sealed at both ends.

    95 Reinneil- Temp gauge jumping up and down

    Should be 2 "sensors". Actually, one is a switch for the high temp alarm. Usually has a red body and normally on the stbd side of the stat housing and a tan/blue wire. The other one is the gauge "sensor" and normally on port side of housing and has a tan wire.

    Can i cut my bunks down?

    Bunks extend past transom? Then yes. Bunks should be under transom for support. Most of the time, they extend a couple of inches past it.

    Water in fuel

    How old is the fuel? Is it ethenol free or regular pump gas. Us not knowing what you have is hard to call. But, If you don't know condition of the fuel, then the safe money is on getting it out and putting in new.

    Alpha 1 Gen 1 oil fill hose

    That was a common mod on those drives in the 80's (had one on a pre-Alpha). Mercruiser made the kit for it. Round tank to mount inside engine compartment, thru-hull fitting for the hose and hose to connect to the vent plug.

    Mercruiser 3.0 Engine knocking noise

    With the double knock, sounds like a piston / connecting rod trying to escape. With all that shaking, I would do a compression check.
