    74 stringer electric shift rebuild

    well...... that's great news. It sounds like you just have a couple of bad props and everything else is in order. Send that refurb back and request another.

    Wet Exhaust Hose 90deg part

    A few years ago I converted my manifolds and needed some 90s . I ended up finding and using some "osco elbows" I have the part numbers listed in this thread . https://forums.iboats.com/threads/omc-manifold-conversion-ford.620336/

    74 stringer electric shift rebuild

    -Confirm that there is type C or an electric shift equivalent fluid in the lower for sure. - test the magnets in the lower and confirm that you are at 4.5 to 6.5 ohms on your green / forward shift wire -also confirm that your ground wire is attached at that pivot points ensuring the lower unit...

    cobra 3.0 hesitates

    what kind of carb is it ? My Holley had a blown power valve and it had a dead spot like that , but it was also running pig rich and you could just tell something was extremely off.

    F-150 Transmission Issues (I think? . . . No, I thought )

    hate to jinx your situation but your description is pretty much what was happening in my much older 91 Bronco with an E4OD transmission (fully electronic) . I was getting a code though about torque converter slipping. It would sometimes feel like I was driving on small rumble strips. a...

    Battery question

    Yeah , I thought it was closer to 5-6 years until I was swapping it out and noticed the made date. Not too bad of a run for sure

    Battery question

    I dont recall it ever being ran all the way down before. it was manufactured 5/14 , I live in Utah and I think our batteries last longer than alot of other states based on weather temps. My Brother down in Havasu where its stupid hot has to buy one every couple years he says

    Battery question

    That's how most of mine have been taken out , can't get them charged into the 12s . This one , by simply checking the voltage appeared to be just fine .

    Battery question

    New battery and all is well now . That was a learning experience for me for sure . That battery went from fine to less power than a watch battery literally overnight. Thanks again all.

    Battery question

    weird , I dont recall ever having a battery fail in this fashion. I left it on a 2 amp charger all day , volts were in the high 12s at rest when I got home from work. as soon as I turn on anything , and I mean anything. Headlights, dome lights , simply just open a door , the volts plumet down...

    Battery question

    W Thanks for the chart , 80% you would think would still be able to run a dome light. It must be some crappy connections / build up . Thanks for the info

    Battery question

    Hey all, my truck won't start today I didn't even get clicks. Radio wouldn't even come on, and the dome light would barely come on. I grab my tester my battery is reading 12.45 volts, yet it can barely even light the dome light I'm talking very dim, barely even on. I took an Uber to work...

    Found my stolen boat! Wiring nightmare, no fire

    I hate to sound like Mr. Negative, Its a cool story and I am glad you got your boat back........ But with snow on that boat and considering it was stolen and then later abandoned I would be trying to figure out if the block / manifolds were drained and winterized before trying to fire it up...

    Hvac / thermostat question

    It does yes. There is a setup part at the beginning and you test each mode/wire.

    Hvac / thermostat question

    Okay , I think I got this knocked out . Ran a new 18/8 wire. Now the wiring is more "standard" Nest is installed and tests appear to be good. Thanks again

    Hvac / thermostat question

    Outstanding. Running a new wire now as that all makes better sense now. And I am glad I asked this , looking at current setup. My second heat stage is not hooked up , and it's a 2 stage furnace . So there are a couple bonuses of running a new wire Thanks everyone

    Hvac / thermostat question

    Good info on the smart thermostats . Did you like the Nest while you had it ? And I think I have the 2 wires for this. One group to the thermostat. Smaller group outside to the ac unit. But not really my wheelhouse either . I just want a smart thermostat , this current Honeywell is allegedly...

    Hvac / thermostat question

    Okay, that makes sense . I will run another thermostat wire , this time a 6 wire . Bruce, when I do that. Is it simply a matter of adding the extra wire to the "C" on the board . (Does it matter that there is already a wire on it ? I believe for the AC relay) Thanks again .
