    Need Assistance to Diagnose Bravo 3 - 5.0L MPI Vibration

    Had a few in the shop that developed a vibration. Just another one yesterday. Nothing to do with the drive. Turns out if you have the flat distributor cap, it’s most likely misfiring causing a vibration. Yeah any dizzy can do that from lack of service but them flat caps do it more often.

    Question about Eagle Fish ID II

    You can splice them. You “ might” loose a bit of tuning but most of the time you don’t. I have the same unit, still working 20 plus years later.

    Painting my transom assembly.

    Can I use rustoleum on my transom assembly after I sand/prep/ prime it? Or will it fail fairly quickly? There is no corrosion on it, just the paint is wearing through due to age.

    Sharp Door Stop

    Remove it completely. Make a rounded tab out of teak and screw it down. It don’t have to be that tall, it’s to keep the door from moving out/in flopping around. Not really stop, but ,a retainer.

    When re-assembling, put a dab of blue locktite on the screws. It’ll help keep them in place in the future.

    I have to ask: Why was it at the mechanic? Seems to me it had an issue and that would be why. Yup, you need a new assembly. Just had a volvo in the shop for blown u-joints, same thing happend. Wrecked the entire thing.

    Dies when key is released.

    Check for power at the coil with the key on but not running. If none, check the cannon plug on the motor and make sure the connections are clean and the plug is inserted completely. That's just a starting point for diagnostics.

    Help with very old Pontoon repair

    It may take awhile for the leak to show. The low air pressure will have to push the water out first.

    V belt

    Try tightening them first. No that Allen screw in the middle of the pulley is not for changing the belts. Look closely behind/around the pump, you will see the brackets. A loose alternator belt will squeal easily if it’s loose. You can go to your local automotive parts store and get new belts...
