    120VAC NC Remote switch

    Doesn’t surprise me. Best engineering practice discourages bringing a circuit back up from a loss of power, in an energized condition, for safety/liability reasons.

    Nobody fishing?

    That’s because eBay’s commission doesn't include shipping cost Charge $1 for part and $20 shipping…pay commission on $1. Need to compare total cost, door to door to make the comparison

    to replace the transom or not?

    You’re not listening for a particular sound. You’re listening for very subtle changes in frequency from one point to another. Same as checking for cracks and corrosion in a metal structure with a ball peen hammer.

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    You can't bend 6061. The money you save in materiel using 6061 (roughly 20%) is a drop in the bucket to the difference in fabrication (welding) costs

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Copper is added for strength and improve machining properties. No good for saltwater environments. T = tempered. Don't bend…cracks

    Yard sale grinder

    You can say that again. My first job I had to weld up these large aluminum enclosures then grind the welds then finish for painting with a 5 hp Milwaukee grinder, #80 soft pads, a squirt can of oil.

    Have enough HP for hole-shot ?

    Just about every drift when playing chicken with a bridge in a 4-6 kt. current....lol Don't conflate fast and acceleration. Big difference between "Fast" to avoid and "Fast" to get places quicker

    Evinrude 225 1987 Bogging down

    Compression is a bit low. Don't know if it’s apples to oranges comparison, but my 1997 is # 97-100 all the way around. Could be the gauge. What rpm is your idle set at? Mine has not idled at spec (650 rpm) since new. @ 725 it will purr like a kitten all day

    Have enough HP for hole-shot ?

    You are better to have power and not need it, than to need it and not have it I would never own a boat that wasn't at least 75% off the maximum HP for the hull

    Fuel Water Separator

    “Cloudy” gas has not separated....otherwise it wouldn’t be cloudy and you would see three distinct layers on the bottom of the glass E10 can carry up to 0.05% water by volume before separation and still be a perfectly viable fuel. In my area, your fuel can look like that in a week or two in the...

    Bone headed move - put the plug in with 3M 4200

    You have more going on than just the sealant. There isn’t a sealer on the market that would withstand the force of an impact gun. Having said that, the plugs are tapered, dry seal connections. They should be “snug”, but not tight. Over tightening will gull (distort and damage) the threads...

    Tachometer Install

    You don’t say which motor, but if it’s a fuel injected engine the “tach module” is an induction sensor. Replaces the functionality of a distributor in the timing of the motor.

    Voltage rectifier

    interesting observation given that most the components are made in China or Taiwan to begin with. Must keep special stock of “quality parts” they ship for OEM parts manufacturers….lol

    99 Bayliner Trophy 22 foot top speed

    Trophy used the 190 Hp , 4.3. In realty your looking at a 25% increase in HP, a 35% increase in weight and more deadrise to push. Guessing he's looking at close to #4,100 plus gear
