    New Y pipe

    I would look back their yourself and make sure its not the rubber exhaust hose and clamp. Having twins makes this a larger boat. is this a trailered boat or a moored boat? does the 10K include haul-out?

    wires have all been taken off dist ?

    first, you are looking at firing orders for a car, not your motor in a BOAT. assuming your motor has the distributor in the front to be a ford vs a GM (distributor in the back) Your 1994 OMC marinized Ford 302 should have the 351 cam, which means it would follow the 351 firing order vs the 302...

    Volvo penta 4.3 gxi rough running

    Yes. Check out Rinda Check that the fuel pressure is constant. Make sure the fuel pump is running. Neighbors '06 4.3GXI has a failed ECM. The fuel pump was studdering like Mel Tillis. ECM was sent in to Bob. Non- repairable.

    Helped the neighbor diagnose his VP 4.3GXI as a failed ECM...... The BCM in the solstice is failing again. Have to hot wire the fan and AC compressor. Really hating EFI, BCMs and vehicle electronics

    85 Mercruiser 3.0 possibly bad coil??

    Did you check the condenser? This is where the dwell meter comes in handy. Or remove them for the test Coils either work or they don't. Fact is about a million good coils get swapped out every year due to faulty diagnostics.

    Panel mount VHF

    make sure your model uniden fits. my uniden 380 sort of fit (slightly bigger than the plastic panel opening) and I simply took a die grinder to it and then filled the back side with epoxy since I thinned up the plastic a bit.

    Replacing an aluminum boat transom what do you think it costs

    are you asking how much it would cost a DIY'r or how much you would pay to have it done? for me, a case of beer to my buddy with a portable aluminum weld setup, a sheet of 3/4" plywood and some tite-bond III and it would be done over the weekend. if you take it into a shop somewhere, about $2k
