    Yanmar 4LHA STP boat speed down

    I think the drive ratio is correct, might need prop tuned up Finding yanmar 4LHA-STP max rpm is 3100 and continuous max rpm should be 2900-3000 What is the current ratio?

    Kad32 Turbo

    I've seen some bad looking turbos but that might be the worst other then the one that came apart. Housing and vanes don't look great but the top of turbo looks like it has a hole

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    Welcome Well alrighty then. Boring a block means to rebuild not clean, remove motor and rebuild it. Then as Scott mentioned dig into the hull and find out how much of the hull needs to be gutted and rebuilt

    Volvo Penta 8.1 Exhaust Crossover/Equalizer

    OK understand what you have. You want something like Trident wet exhaust hose. It's hard walled and cost around $12 a foot When salt water gets sprayed around they is no telling what the next issues will be. Do need to test and it could be something like corrosion/bad contact. Does sound...

    Bogging acceleration

    With it bogging you probably need a carb rebuild. Get number off carb and get a kit. If you know the motor serial number we could look up the parts

    Bogging acceleration

    Welcome, I moved you from FAQ to the Merc section. Don't post in the FAQ area Is this a Merc or VP? Doubt if a stick punctured the tank but checking the filter will verify. Pull the fuel filter and dump the contents into a clear container. You should see nothing but clean gas Has the...

    Question about 90 amp fuse on starter

    Melt and takes out the others Even if it wasn't in the harness the amount of current which could be drawn could also blow the battery, but that's a maybe

    Question about 90 amp fuse on starter

    I go the other way, used to protect the wiring. If ALT shorts the ALT (orange) wire is inside with other harness wires and will melt the harness. Could put a breaker or fuse between Bat and Starter but would need to be somewhere between 200 and 400 amps

    any tire preference for vans at the boat ramp?

    Welcome Unless the ramp is gravel or dirt any tire will work, even balled. If the ramp is slimy then even good tread doesn't help much until tire gets off the slim

    Chrysler 105

    Sort of rare because there are not that many left. I have a 105 which came on the boat, but the block was cracked so I replaced it with a 125, some day I'll finish the boat (been 8 years) :rolleyes: 4.5mts (14.7ft) is about right. Spec list as 14.83ft so that's what it should be

    Timing

    Welcome Sounds like you did it correct. If you confirm it was done as posted, and distributor test correctly, then most likely need another module

    Chrysler 105

    The Chrysler conqueror 105 came with a 105 outboard. The Chrysler 105 OB actually was only about 90HP at the prop. So if you have a Conqueror 105 then you need a 105 OB Can find some OB on a few facebook pages Chrysler Boats and Marine, Chrysler the best outboard ever and a few others

    Volvo Penta 8.1 Exhaust Crossover/Equalizer

    Welcome VP uses normal good quality heater hoses, same as auto. For the hose to blow just means it was cheap hose. Don't know your setup but if its standard stock setup there shouldn't be anything What 8.1 do you have, would need to look it up?

    Volvo Penta ecms

    Might be in the harness as well but try this. Take soap, water and soft brush and scrub the unit real good. Then hang it in a box (cardboard, metal) with a 40 to 60 watt bulb. Leave it there for a few days to a week. Use to do this working for the Navy. We would take all the weapon system...

    Volvo Penta ecms

    Don't know why its needed but many times the 8.1 which uses the Ford IAC starts to draw to much current and burns the ECM. Known problem but no fix to keep it from happening
