    Engine won’t crank 2007 Volvo d4-225-a/b

    Try pressing the switch on the dash that allows you to give throttle in neutral. Obviously make sure you aren’t in gear too.

    Grinding going into gear

    Take the prop off and try it. If you’re out the water and on the trailer. And not used to how it sounds…they will make a fair old noise shifting into gear. Obviously check there is oil in it too.

    Quicksilver transom assembly replacement

    Amazing info Scott. Greatly appreciated. Yeah. It’s definitely been replaced. The outdrive itself looks original and painted with black anti foul. The worry is what it’s been replaced..:on an otherwise seemingly well kept and low hour boat. The gimble ring looks new too.

    Thanks dubs. It certainly looks within the last 5 years.

    Quicksilver transom assembly replacement

    Hi all. Hoping the talent on here can help a friend of mine out. He is just about to put a deposit on a boat. The boat is the opposite end of the uk from him. Pictures were sent just this minute and show what’s clearly a fairly recent quicksilver branded outer transom assembly. The boat is a...

    1988 35hp - Multiple issues

    Hi. Did you definitely get all the bolts loose and removed ? There will be 4 in total, I think. One for the trim anode. Another that’s exposed after you’ve removed the trim anode. Then obviously the other two (one each side) further forward that are very visible.

    Mercruiser 4.3 alarm won’t stop

    Quicksilver high performance gear oil would be the OEM oil for her. If you drained the entire gear oil contents, then fill from the bottom and top up the tank…it will take a while for the level to settle and require another top up after the first few outings usually. At least one anyway

    Mercruiser 4.3 alarm won’t stop

    Yeah. Odds on it is the gear oil header tank low

    There is a procedure for this, using the loose orange calibration wire under the hood.

    1996 90HP Mercury 2-Stroke - Plug Read Help Diag

    I had one of these. Was a 96. Boat sat unused for ages. Previous owner was told the engine was done. I bought the boat and engine cheap. Compression was over 100 on top two and 50 or something like that on bottom. Maybe less. Can’t remember. I left her with 2 stroke oil and penetrating oil down...

    Sharrow prop

    Definitely agree. But now that the originally claimed efficiency and performance claims (that the marketing videos showed against ridiculously miss fitted and poorly pitched competitors props) have been busted (in the latest video against an average at best prop, but well pitched prop), there is...

    Sharrow prop

    I think even captain Steve is a hater now…after that last test 😂.

    Yeah. Same thing almost. Just generally speaking.

    Move primary fuel filter

    Likely not…but it obviously depends on where it is now.

    Sharrow prop

    Presumably you saw the last boatest.com video on it. That was nearly on the verge of being realistic. Where it showed it was actually slower and less efficient than only a half decent (not even the best of them) 3 blade of a (at last) suitable and matched pitch ? Funny thing is..the video was...

    Popping and shaking

    Ok. Just be careful and make sure you’ve looked into what you are going to do. You can get a fair smack off it if you’re not careful. Test your coils too. That’s just a resistance on the meter. Likely set to 200ohms range usually…if it’s not an auto range meter. There will be a specific...

    Popping and shaking

    Or if it has a charging outlet on it..put a meter across those cables and see (with meter set to DC).
  20. Q

    Popping and shaking

    Have a wee YouTube search. Easy enough to check. Will be an AC output to the regulator and DC after that. Likely be around 18v AC going in and should be upwards of 13v DC out…with some rpms on her. Best with a multi meter that has the diode function of possible
